Irritations

[Tani]

Why did the Personnel Department become Human Resources? In my working days I resented being classified as a resource rather than as a loyal member of staff.

Our work calls it the 'People Team' and somehow that just sounds even worse.

There is just not a nice name for these generally vile people.

Even so, I think I'd go with 'Team for Before the Company Hires Lawyers They Hire Us.'

i know im gonna get lambasted for this but ive always liked oasis. theyre a big hot mess, alot of songs are nice little pop ditties with many verging on the rawer side, fighting brothers, huge band at one point.etc

plus i liked other bands from the genre including blur. it was all just a tad different, maybe the allure of something a little new.

their stuff is nothing groundbreaking but at least they are interesting.

however imho they and most other contemp bands way pale in comparison to the main new(ish) genre at the time... Grunge, which imho was the last great genre of rock.

Amen on that last sentence

Furthermore Abby, Champagne Supernova is just legit still to this day...

You make that seem like a negative thing, Tani.

Regardless, I don't think they should do it around children

That’s a jaw-dropper Roger. Let’s hope that some disaster befalls this guy before he meets his next victim. The Judge and jury should be ashamed of themselves. There should be a re-trial and an inquiry.

Hi Mike.

I probably should have posted this 'irritant' elsewhere, but I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread.

I don't want to criticize the prosecution, because I fully understand and agree with their concern, but it could be that they overreached and charged Prussak with more serious crimes than could be definitively proven. But it is indeed jaw dropping that the jury thew out all of it and didn't find him guilty of at least the lesser charges.

I hope this is the last we hear of him, but I shudder to think that it won't be. Having read a lot of 'true crime,' leniency or avoidance of justice only tends to embolden a certain type of offender, if offender he intended to be.

Hi Roger,

I completely agree. Did this creep have OJ’s Legal Team behind him? Let’s hope that in a few years time when they’re finding bodies you don’t have reason to post a link to post number 176 of this thread.

Did I already say I HATE these?? Attached lids!!

[Herlock Sholmes]

Yes, me too Tani. I cut them off.
