I don't have anything to say, but crave attention
Any one care to indulge me.

(Plus, I'm closing in on a milestone and too braindead too post anything substantial, which seems to be sinking fairly quickly anyway and it's Bosses' Day and my staff forgot all about me, which is a bad move on their part since I'm going over evaluations and vacation schedules today. :P )

3. Remember:
Revenge is the best revenge. Living well is simply a side effect. ;-)

4. Post a "we're getting divorced, ask us anything" thread
That's the best attention whoring there is! :party:

14. There are no posting pre-requisites! :-)
That is half the fun of the Lounge, isn't it?

Ok, maybe three-quarters of the fun.

10. Plenty of Boss's Day baloons around here
Alas, I didn't get one!

:-(

Wait! I'm not the boss. Almost forgot. Now I feel better.

:-)

If you want attention from me these days, just post something praising the electoral college. I was on a roll yesterday on that issue. Haven't posted so much in months, and it was all in one thread.

Actually, many days I wish I wasn't the boss. Be thankful.

17. Ack. That thread's not dead yet.
Here's the link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1069799

I thought I killed it this morning. But I guess not.

:crazy:

Indeed, I am very thankful I'm not the boss. I think it is one of my career goals never to have to worry about a staff. For one thing, I always want to do everything myself, so I wouldn't be too good at delegating.

13. I have to get up and fax something that's finally finished after putting
it off for 5 months, but I don't feel like typing a cover letter or getting up and doing the faxing.

How lazy is that?

There simply is NOT enough of that in the Lounge.

Hey, at least I'm in touch with my emotions and I'm upfront about it. :-)

28. The reason that it is refreshing...
Hey, at least I'm in touch with my emotions and I'm upfront about it.

I like it so much better than the "I'm almost at x,000 posts--Ask me anything."

30. You're only 52 posts away from getting more attention!!!!
Keep posting, prolesunited -- I see 10K in your near future!

I recently broke the 10K mark, and it was a real push to get there -- so I know what you're going thorough -- a kind of post burnout, or something like that. :)

:hug:
