Suspicious Mind

Why do I have this niggling thought in the back of my head that Osama may have been "allowed" to "escape." I mean, if he was caught that would probably satisfy the blood lust of most of the American people and they wouldn't be as supportive of an "ongoing war on terrorism." A war that Bush aides are now saying could last up to 50 years. Weeeeeeee! Are we having fun yet?

Do What I Mean, Not What I Say

So my boss tells me that as manager of my department all staffing decisions are up to me. I tell him my decision and "Well, what I was thinking was..." and he describes the exact opposite of what I had decided. If you are going to tell me to make the decision, stick by my decision damnit. I did talk him into it, rather reluctantly, after explaining why I thought my way was better. Of course now if it backfires I'm completely screwed. And I wanted to stay here how much longer?
