We are sad to announce that Merv in Processing lost his lovely bride Nalia. She's not dead, but apparently when he brought (bought) her over from where ever she was from they got an illegal passport. So INS has been tracking them for months and she is being deported and Merv will be taking some administrative leave during his incarceration.

What "The Office" teaches us. an article from MSN.

What "The Office" Teaches Us About WorkBy Robert Half International

The popular TV show "The Office" hilariously satirizes the nine-to-five work world. The sitcom features a collection of cube-dwelling characters who are occasionally offensive, petty, obnoxious, inept, annoying, self-absorbed or unproductive -- or all of the above.

The show has clearly resonated with the public and pop-culture enthusiasts, perhaps because people sometimes catch a glimpse of "The Office" in their own workplaces. But "The Office" offers viewers more than just laughs. The show is a cautionary tale serving up weekly reminders of how not to behave in a professional setting. With the corporate misfits of "The Office" in mind, use the following tips to avoid becoming the person your colleagues dread to see walking toward them.

Joke with care. When it comes to having a good sense of humor in the workplace, focus on developing the "good sense" part. While most professionals can easily identify jokes that fall into the "absolutely acceptable" and "clearly inappropriate" categories, they have trouble navigating the gray area in between. Many employees have found themselves in hot water for merely inching a toe over this fine line. So, if you're unsure if you should tell an off-color joke or forward a risqué e-mail, remember that it's better to be safe than sorry. No matter how well you think you know a colleague, refrain from joking about age, race, religion, gender or other sensitive subjects. Also, steer clear of making sarcastic remarks, which can be easily misconstrued.That said, levity does have a place in "The Office" environment. Having the ability to laugh at yourself -- and difficult situations -- goes a long way toward maintaining perspective, reducing stress and building rapport with co-workers. But you don't need to be "The Office" comedian to win over your colleagues. Just be willing to see the lighter side of the workplace.

Forgo fulsome flattery. There's nothing wrong with trying to impress your boss. After all, your manager plays a pivotal role in your career advancement. But it's important to be sincere, and actions speak louder than words. Show your boss that you're loyal to the firm by working hard and making smart decisions, not by playing politics or becoming a tattletale. The most respected and well-liked professionals treat each person in "The Office" with the same level of courtesy. Those who don't burn bridges and breed contempt among co-workers.

Avoid the gossip grapevine. Unfortunately, the ubiquity of workplace whispering can make gossiping an easy pastime to adopt. Skipping the opportunities to share juicy rumors about a pending merger or a colleague's weekend adventure can be hard to resist. But resist them anyway. Talking behind someone's back or passing along highly sensitive or unsubstantiated information as fact will only undermine your credibility. Though it can be beneficial to be aware of what's being said by the water cooler chit-chatters, it's wise to keep the information to yourself.

While funny and farcical, "The Office" does shine a spotlight on the many pitfalls of exercising poor judgment in the workplace. Use what you learn to handle yourself with tact and professionalism. And always remember that people enjoy working with individuals they like. By showing respect to both your boss and your co-workers, you'll build camaraderie -- and a solid reputation.

Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle

Being told to "Think Outside the Box" when I'm in the @#$%? box all day!
Not being able to check E-mail attachments without first seeing who is behind me.
Fabric cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gunfire.
That nagging feeling that if I just press the right button, I will get a piece of cheese.
Lack of roof rafters for the noose.
My walls are too close together for my hammock to work right.
Women: Damned near impossible to adjust your bra or slip without comment.
Men: Co-workers tend to stare when you take your pants off.
23 power cords, 1 outlet.
Prison cells are not only bigger, they have beds.
When tours come through, I get lots of peanuts thrown at me.
Can't slam the door when you quit and walk out.

Kevin Federline, Wife Divorce
December 18, 2006 Issue 42•51

Celebrities and personal drama took center stage before a gossip-hungry public this year, and perhaps none received more press than superstar rapper Kevin Federline. So when his wife of two years abruptly filed for divorce, the country took notice.

K-FINISHEDFederline, whose immense success allowed him to buy expensive jewelry for his ex-wife.
According to Federline's publicist, Marilyn Chang, the spouse, a 24-year-old entertainer who worked as a singer and foreground dancer at Federline performances before wedding him in 2004, presented Federline with divorce papers on Nov. 7 citing irreconcilable differences.
"K-Fed gave it his best, but in the end it just wasn't meant to be," said Chang of the reportedly tumultuous relationship between Federline and his partner, whose vocal talents have been featured on several pop and dance albums. "The good news is that this separation might afford Kevin the opportunity to finally move on and grow as an artist. This marriage was really slowing him down, and I think many will agree with me when I say we want the old Kevin back."
Federline is seeking sole custody of his two sons, claiming his estranged wife, a struggling actress who has appeared in soft-drink commercials, is unfit to care for 1-year-old Sean Preston and 3-month-old Jayden James.
"Kevin is a family man," Chang said. "He will do whatever is necessary to protect his kids, and he will not be undermined by this irresponsible hanger-on, who was only in the marriage to springboard her own career."
Federline has two children from a previous relationship with Shar Jackson, costar of the mid-90s UPN sitcom Moesha and a featured player in the 1997 Nickelodeon feature Good Burger.

Rules to live by...

2007-01-02T11:27:00.000-05:00

I feel it necessary to add some very important rules. These insights are gleaned from reading news from around the world.

Rule #1. Do NOT for any reason get on a ferry outside of the US. Especially in or near Africa. They sink all of the time. Most recently one in Indonesia went down. over 500 passengers and 177 have been rescued so far. Seriously, this is a weekly occurence off the coasts of Africa. Trust us, Don't Do It. You'd be better off swimming.

Rule #2. Do NOT for any reason get on a bus in Mexico or Central/South America. The reason for this also form the daily and weekly news about how they are always falling off cliffs. Down the cliff with few survivors. I don't really recommend any other form of transportation in these areas, i.e. scooters, just walk. or rent a tank or some sort of all terrain armored vehicle.

There will be more rules to come as we analyze trends in worlds happening.

OMG I know her.

By Kelli B. Grant

No one likes spending the majority of their waking hours in a cubicle. But just because your cubicle has less square footage than your bathroom at home doesn't mean you can't live large. While you bide your time waiting for the corner office, we've collected a few cube gadgets to make cubicle life a little more tolerable:

Ambient Weather Beacon $169.95, Scientifics Online Never see the light of day? This ambient device will keep you posted on all that you're missing as you wither under the florescent lights. It updates itself wirelessly, changing color and pulsing to reflect the latest weather forecasts. It uses the same color scheme as the Weather Channel -- green for temps in the 40s, orange for 60s, etc. You can also use the device to track other important information, like the stock market's ups and downs, and whether outside conditions are ideal for golfing. Sadly, you won't be playing.

Babble Voice Privacy Machine $395, Sonare Technologies If you have fantasies about permanently silencing the loudmouth you share a cubicle wall with, don't get mad, get a voice muter. True to its name, Babble tones down individual voices into more soothing, wordless sounds. The tape-dispenser-sized unit turns on with the push of a button. Babble also makes your voice equally incomprehensible to eavesdropping co-workers.

Cube Chic $15.95, Barnes & Noble Picture it: Faux bamboo coverings for your cube walls, a Zen garden, candles and a desktop fountain. Whatever your sense of style, author and designer Kelley Moore offers tips on how to make it happen. Decorate your space with animal prints and mosquito netting for a Safari Cube, or use a poster and window "frame" to create an office with a view for the CEO Cube. Our personal favorite? The Nap Cube, complete with cereal dispensing machine and cozy nook for napping. Sure you'll be the office freak. But you'll also have a cube that you can truly call home.

Stealth Switch $24.99, Think Geek Sure, you work. But you don't let it interfere with your dedication to becoming a Minesweeper master. Unfortunately, your boss isn't sympathetic to the amount of training that's involved. To keep him in the dark, you can install software, and then attach this device to your computer. A quick tap of your foot, and any windows you haven't specified as "safe" disappear from view. Another tap when the coast is clear, and you're back to work, er, play.

Pimp My Cubicle Kit $14.95, Barnes & Noble The standard office cubicle isn't very fly. This kit helps add some bling. It includes a dollar-sign paperweight, gold thumbtacks, a disco ball and a "bling" mousepad. There's also a piece of leopard-print fringe to spice up your computer, file cabinet or wall.

USB Beverage Chiller $19.99, Xoxide You put your soda in the office fridge, and some jerk steals it. This USB chiller plugs right into your computer, and keeps beverages at a frosty 45 degrees. Use it to cool your room-temperature drinks, or keep a chilly drink from warming up.

Lazer Trip Wire $24.99, Think Geek You don't even want to think about what goes on in your cube when you're away from it. OK...we're not even sure what we mean by that sentence, but the fact is, you do view your cube as your private space. Protect your stuff and your space with this set of infrared beams. These three sensors attach to your cube, emitting an infrared beam from sender to receptor. Break the beam's signal, and an alarm sounds.

Florida State University To Phase Out Academic Operations By 2010

September 14, 2006 Onion Sports

SARASOTA, FL—Bowing to pressure from alumni, students, and a majority of teaching professors of Florida State University, athletic director Dave Hart Jr. announced yesterday that FSU would completely phase out all academic operations by the end of the 2010 school year in order to make athletics the school's No. 1 priority. "It's been clear for a while that Florida State's mission is to provide the young men and women enrolled here with a world-class football program, and this is the best way to cut the fat and really focus on making us No. 1 every year," Hart said. "While it's certainly possible for an academic subsidiary to bring a certain amount of prestige to an athletic program, the national polls have made it that our non-athletic operations have become a major distraction." FSU's restructuring program will begin with the elimination of the College of Arts and Sciences, effective October 15.
