I remember this phrase from ancient times.
Harry, that is what I would have done too.
Oh Thank God I didn't make this up, Mr. W.
LOLOL!! I cannot believe you attempted this at work.
E for effort for sure.
Now. Now. We both know what you did here is not going to work.
LOL
Alas...I don't know what alack means and I am too lazy to look it up.
Spunky, you only work when your boss is around? Or he doesn't give you work unless he is there? Sounds like a job made either in heaven or HELL~!~~~~
I've had jobs like that. I felt like the time was so draggy and I always felt guilty taking up space but I never quit because the money was good in spite of the boredom. I hope I never have to deal with a job like that again.
Me neither. That is why I asked.
Oh pshaw! lol
I know, LynnCal, I had to say SOMETHING>
Maybe we should ask a question about using Oh Pshaw! I mean where did we ever drum that one up anyway? LOL
LOL!
Nice Shakespeare reference. Yorik, I think. Not sure. But what about alack?
You're probably right. I didn't have time to look it up - too busy at work. :) Couldn't think of anything for "alack."
There's a Shakespearean reference to both. SS has noted the Hamlet reference, and there's this from Love's Labours Lost:
On a day - alack the day! -
Love, whose month is ever May,
Spied a blossom passing fair
Playing in the wanton air:
I think it's early medieval in origin, but where it comes from I couldn't say without looking.
Alas, what we have here is alack of communication. LOL!
