First in, last out?

 This popped up in my fb memories today.  This version of first in last out that used to exist merely a few months ago. 



What is your version now? I find myself working at the oddest hours. Wake up at 2 am? Sure,  I can knock out some work. 


You? 


"Qotd..when i was working my way up the corporate ladder, I was always first in, last out. I attribute a lot of my success to that.. I always had leaders that came in after me and left before i did..always with this promise of "when you get here, you won't have to work this hard". Well, I've gotten to each of those levels of "here" and it is still freaking hard. does hard work = long hours in your work world?"

Another word for asshole

The joys of facebook. I posed a question to my 300+ friends yesterday. I asked if anyone had a good synonym for asshole. It was hilarious. The response was overwhelming. Everyone had great ideas and great suggestions. I have to tell you - my favorite was from my friend Joe who told me to use "Dupa" and that I could add "yash" if I really wanted to in order to enhance the vulgarity. "Dupa yash". It is Polish, and I know it is vulgar, but for some reason I'm really enjoying thinking about using it.

A couple of other great ones were: Donkey Crevice, Pig Vomit, Jackhole and then my other favorite - a dear friend who works for a very large technology company suggested using celebrities. Her celebrity synonym for asshole was "the situation".

Watch out for a short, cute woman at a technology company to refer to you as "the situation". She really is simply calling you an asshole. ;)
