Pride in my Bitchiness

One of my coworkers and I rag on each other all the time. ALL the time. The fake insults are fast and furious. But this morning I held my tongue because I wasn't actually part of the conversation, and there were other non-in-group people around. But, it was SUCH a good put down that I will share it with you.

Coworker1 to Coworker2: See, you gotta treat people with respect. Don't you want people to respect you?
Coworker3 (guy I pick on): Respect is overrated!
Me: You only say that because you've never had it.

BAM!

It would have been great. And I would have loved to hear what say in return.

Aa, Obama-sama!

Realistically I know that it's going to take a long time to get the economy back on track. We did not get into this mess quickly, we will not get out of it quickly. But please, please, please Obama! Help! I am already really, really tired of worrying about my job.

(Is it a good sign, or a bad one when your boss tells you he's trying to talk about you among management so that people don't think of you as expendable?)
