Letters Of Recommendation
Have to write a letter of recommendation for that fired employee? Here are a few suggested phrases:

For the chronically absent:
"A man like him is hard to find."
"It seemed her career was just taking off."

For the office drunk:
"I feel his real talent is wasted here."
"We generally found him loaded with work to do."
"Every hour with him was a happy hour."

For an employee with no ambition:
"He could not care less about the number of hours he had to put in."
"You would indeed be fortunate to get this person to work for you."

For an employee who is so unproductive that the job is better left unfilled:
"I can assure you that no person would be better for the job."

For an employee who is not worth further consideration as a job candidate:
"I would urge you to waste no time in making this candidate an offer of
employment."
"All in all, I cannot say enough good things about this candidate or
recommend him too highly."

For a stupid employee:
"There is nothing you can teach a man like him."
"I most enthusiastically recommend this candidate with no qualifications
whatsoever."

For a dishonest employee:
"Her true ability was deceiving."
"He's an unbelievable worker."

What's your best amusement park story?

In August, my boyfriend and I went to Cedar Point.. on the way up the Top Thrill Dragster, I was screaming and a small bug flew into the back of my mouth. I was gagging for like 5 minutes after I got off the ride, and my boyfriend was laughing at me! (what a meanie.. lol)
Another one was us being 5th and 6th in line for Millennium Force, and riding in the front seat! =D
How about you?

Whats wrong with me..?

Ok so I don't have a boyfriend. I am 17 years old and have had one boyfriend when I was 15 and it only lasted a month or so. I can see myself with a boyfriend and sometimes wish for a boyfriend but don't want one usually. Am I just really independant? I do like to be alone a lot. I like it when i'm the only one in my house out of all my family members. I do have friends and enjoy spending time with them but I like it when i'm alone. I want to have a baby when i'm around 25 or so but am I just doomed to not be with any guy? I am really shy and I do like a few guys but I never really talk to any guys and don't really want a boyfriend a lot of the time. Am I just so independant that I will never need a boyfriend?

Most memorable hockey quote? (anything from Slap Shot doesnt count)?

I'd have to say that the famous "Do you believe in miracles?" is at the top of my list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TgJc0ZkHcw

But on that certainly close behind is:
"And after twenty-two years, Raymond Bourque!"

Your favorite?
