Run them over with your car after everyone else has gone home for the day. But make sure they aren't in a marked crosswalk. That way when she's like "OH MY GOD MY SPEAKERS GOT RUN OVER" everyone in the office will be like "I mean... maybe you should have taught them to use a crosswalk?"

Pound cutlet; rub in seasonings. Dip meat first in egg, then in bread crumbs. Melt butter in skillet. Brown meat several minutes a side or till golden. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs. Serve with German potato salad and red cabbage.



In other news, my idiot boss who backed his wife's minivan into somebody at the gas station broke his wrist that same night.

He was playing basketball, got his legs kicked out from under him (allegedly), landed on his wrist, and it's now in a cast and will require surgery. Of course he decided the doctor didn't know what she was talking about, so he didn't keep the cast in the sling as she told him to ("She didn't give me a reason!"), and he only just now figured out the hard way that it's supposed to be elevated so it won't get stiff and sore.

My coworker and I discussed it, and I said "Literally EVERYONE knows you have to elevate injuries above the level of the heart. RICE = Rest Ice Compression Elevation.

I don't think they'd believe that was an accident. It'd be far simpler if she didn't share an office with the other, reasonably computer literate boss. I encountered a similar situation a while back with one of the sales reps; he was always playing tacky country songs loudly on his computer. He's also the most computer illiterate person I've ever met (He can't even copy and paste . . . ), so all I had to do was mute his speakers. He STILL thinks they're broken, at least in part because the three or so people he's asked how to fix it so far all hate his lovely music too, so they've all pretended his broken speakers are a mystery. I won't be able to get away with that on the boss's computer, though.

Good thinking. I am very clumsy; I can probably get away with walking in there to drop something in her in tray, catching my high heel on the carpet, twisting my ankle, falling across her desk, and knocking the speakers violently onto the floor while "accidentally" Hulk stomping them as I try to catch my balance.

Hmm... for it to really be sold as an accident you need witnesses. Preferably the boss herself. If she sees it go down and believes it's an accident, no questions will be asked.

So you're gonna need a couple things:

One wooden A-frame ladder, 6 or 8 feet high depending on how high the ceiling in your office is

One gallon of paint similar to (or exact, if you can find it) the paint color in your office

One hacksaw

Saw off one of the legs of the ladder, then set it up somewhere in the office, resting precariously on the removed leg. Place the speakers, paint can, and paint brush on top of the ladder, preferably near some kind of stain or damaged paint if you have any of that in your office. When your boss asks where her speakers are, tell her they said something about finally painting over that drat spot. She'll go to get them, the ladder will "break" and the speakers will fall to their death. Maybe you can even angle for a mental health day - watching someone fall off a ladder and die is potentially traumatizing!

Please, thread, give me your ideas.

Any plan that involve sabotage of the speakers themselves is a no go since it will be solved by buying new speakers with company money. I would suggest a social engineering solution instead.

Find the music or artist she likes best and then find horrible trivia about how <Favorite artist> is a horrible <racist, nazi, mean to the disabled, hurt annimals, not support our troops, ect> then drop subtle hints around the topic in office conversation untill the music stop or change.

That or you can pretend ear drums damage or tinitus and carry foarm earplugs for those awfull music moments.

Yeah, it's pretty unprofessional. But so is everything she does. Still, you'd think, as an aspiring actress, she'd be more cognizant of being on camera and NOT proving just how incapable she is of being on camera without loving it up completely.

witness this, the most awesome of RSI rear end-fucks:

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/45y024/anyway_to_buy_squadron_42_alone/





basically, because this guy bought a stand-alone ship, he doesn't have access to the Star Citizen alpha. Because he did not buy access to the Star Citizen Alpha, he cannot get the $15 Squadron 42 add-on. If he wants access to both games it will be an additional $60 on top of what he paid for the stand-alone ship.

way cool :thumbsup:

Just start taking the plug the speakers go into the computer and rotate it at the base where the plug and wire meet for a good 5 minutes every once in a while. Eventually the wires will short out and they'll stop working or be super spotty

I think the problem we're running into is that anything we dream up will either be fixed by buying a new set of speakers or having the "functioning human" boss unfuck any computer fuckery she tries.

quote:

So I was looking at why I felt bad about Star Citizen a while ago. I did a little digging and found that most of the issues I thought were going to kill the game were coming from one man. They may have been spewed by others and embellished but ultimately there was one man causing a lot of grief and making a lot of claims.

Here then are his predictions and their outcomes all while you can see me play in the universe that he says won't come out, I will also transition from my ship to space, to a space station and back which Derek says is impossible.

You have to love the man who sticks to his convictions even though the evidence proves him wrong. Maybe he should try telling people the earth is only 6000 years old, he would at least have more support.
