I've been accused of not blogging anything in a while (some people expect me to blog more than once a month! blasphemy!); so I thought I'd post a little something, since this is usually the worst work day of the year. Why? Because I lost a frickin' hour of sleep over the weekend, and it doesn't feel like 8:15 in the morning (it feels like 7:15).

Monday is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Day.

• Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't give a damn about?
• Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you?

On behalf of Ike Turner, I am glad to officially announce Monday as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKERS DAY!

There are the rules you must follow:

1. You can only slap one person per hour - no more.
2. You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day.
3. You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns slapping the irritant.
4. No weapons are allowed...other than going up side somebody's head with a stapler or a hole-puncher.
5. CURSING IS MANDATORY! After you have slapped the recipient, your "assault" must be followed with something like "cause I'm sick of your stupid-a$$ always messing up stuff!"
6. If questioned by a supervisor [or police, if the supervisor is the irritant], you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE!

Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living daylights out of and get to slapping.....and have a great day.

This little email greeted me this morning when I hit send/receive. There's not really anyone I'd want to slap in my office (ok, maybe one or two), but I can think of several others out there.
