Yes I am starting year 10, and I'm going past one million kilobytes of data on this website.
I do love publishing it each week, and I appreciate the good, better and best emails you send me!
I love you video -amazing dog voice- wait for 3 meg download.
Congratulations to Barbara (right) and sister Renia for the nice article about your bakery:
1. Decruited, adj. To be fired from a position one has not even started yet.
Sample sentence: "At first I felt really bad about being decruited from that corporate law firm after spending two summers of law school interning for them. But then I decided to make the most of my funemployment and use my signing bonus to travel around Europe."
See also: uninstalled, prefired
2. Permatemp, n. The condition of being permanently employed as a temporary worker.
This could be due to lack of motivation to seek permanent employment, inability to find permanent employment, or the permatemp's belief that a company will eventually hire him/her for the job s/he is currently doing for lower pay and without benefits.
Sample sentence: "Wake up, Joe. You've been here for six months, your cubicle is decorated better than your living room, and the hiring manager still doesn't know your name. You're officially a permatemp, my friend."
3. Insource, v. To do oneself what one previously paid others to do.
Sample sentence: "No, I can't meet you for brunch this morning. I'm insourcing my laundry these days and have five loads piled up."
Alternate sample sentence: "I know my nails look like someone took a chainsaw to them, but I insource manicures now."
Antonym: outsource.
4. Intaxication, n. A sense of delight mingled with the perception of instant wealth that one feels upon receiving a tax refund.
Sample sentence: "It seemed like a good idea to charge that pair of Louboutins/small boat/Caribbean vacation to my credit card when I got my tax refund. But when I got my statement a week later, it was clear I was in a haze of intaxication at the time of purchase."
5. Madoff’d, v. To get ripped off in a particularly offensive fashion.
Sample sentence: "Oh man, that cab driver totally Madoff'd me. I gave him a $20 and he only gave me change for a $10."
