My inner voice screams "For the love of god why can't educated people spell properly! it's courteous!
I've never seen a more non-correctly spelling bunch of people in my life than Engineers! I do it for a living, and I deal with them every day. It drives me bonkers! :lol:
Engineering is about details. C'mon, you can't spell correctly? Gimme a break!

Oh, I thought that's how the sign read. If it was just you typing it out, I expected it to be misspelled. :D
My general venting still applies though!

On topic: There are some things [now] that should be expected - common sense is no longer common. I'm sometimes surprised that people don't forget how to breathe. I mean, we haven't told them HOW to.

we have "quiet, employees on phones" signs on the 3rd floor... personally, when I'm in the office I'm on a chair (I figured the phone would break if I were on that instead).

I'm in the fuck'n military... I'll be it the Air Force... but they tried to start a fucking swear jar in my office...
so I wrote down swears and put them in it... apparently I was the only one who thought it was funny...
so I went with pure swear overload... that worked... no more swear jar... :lol:

:lol: I know that type of crowd. It's the same way in the building I work in, but people are scared of the group I eat with at lunch. We are always yelling and making a lot of racket, it doesn't help that we are constantly telling the girl in the next cube over to use earmuffs when we are about to yell something obscene. We even put a picnic tablecloth over the table. We eat with one of the managers, so nobody says shit to us.

:lol: It's funnier in the context, because it's all these uptight old engineers, so of which still wear full suits to work everyday and here we are a bunch of jackasses.

:lol: oh that reminds me... I was at our league bowling match last night... wear'n a twfix shirt... one with our motto on the back... and someone came up to me and asked...
"so would you say your shirt is appropriate on sunday?"
me forgetting about the motto (though I really don't care either way) was like... uh... why not? your not some nudist religious freak who despises shirts on the sabith? (yeah a few shots of jack had been consumed)
"no but the verbiage isn't what I'd say is appropriate"
then i realized... and said... "ahh yes... well yeah as my mom taught me the sticks and stones bit." and walked away...
man... being in the military well the air force... is just sad anymore

Swear all you want, but the word you are looking for is "albeit"
al·be·it (ôl-bt, l-)
conj.
Even though; although; notwithstanding
