Her response, after a look of disgust mixed with non-comprehension: "I hate the Internet."

]]> <![CDATA[Oh No, Your Boss Sent You A Facebook Gift!]]> "She never replied. Never said anything to me about the email. As in not ever, never. Unless you count the fake box of chocolates on Facebook she sent me the next day,"

The fake box of chocolates is her reference to the sage Forrest Gumps idea of "you never know what you're gonna get.. peon "... or that you may have to eat her out like a box of chocolates. Your must be a Gemini.

My friend got the "dick in the box" icon from her cohort in grad school. i'm glad those are sold out.

etconsumimurigni

]]> <![CDATA[Oh No, Your Boss Sent You A Facebook Gift!]]> Since many o'boss appear to be friendless, spouseless, childless, and in every other way alienated you can think of, sending a sub a make believe piece of "Hey, I'm cool. Do ya' like me?" virtual crap, isn't at all surprising. What would shock is if they actually came to work the next day with said item gift wrapped with one of those very non funny Ellen Degeneres Duane Reade brand "Whoo Hoo! It's a side splitter!" greeting cards for like 99 cents.

On another note, Facebook is the spawn of the devil and its reign shall never grace the realm of the Spirit Finger domain. That is all.

Wrath of Farrakhan

]]> <![CDATA[Oh No, Your Boss Sent You A Facebook Gift!]]> Hmm I'm not sure what to do about my boss's latest activities with the food fight application. He threw a lobster at me. That's a rather expensive item to be throwing at me, so I guess I should take it as a compliment? Or is he just trying to flaunt his money?

Itsjustcatnip

]]> <![CDATA[Oh No, Your Boss Sent You A Facebook Gift!]]> "like, for instance, when your boss sends you a $1 imaginary gift to compensate for a real-world slight or oversight."

The virtual world sure is giving people cheaper options these days. I once had a boss who used to leave gifts of designer sweaters and handbags on my desk on the rare occasions when she felt guilty about stealing commissions from me.

She can barely keep track of checking her e-mail, let alone creating an account to be seen as "more real" to her subordinates.

TheHonJudgeSmails

]]> <![CDATA[Oh No, Your Boss Sent You A Facebook Gift!]]> @ellagood: You get one gift free. You have to pay for more. So, that fake gift means your boss cares exactly $1 worth about you.

Wrath of Farrakhan

]]> <![CDATA[Oh No, Your Boss Sent You A Facebook Gift!]]> I'd just prefer my bosses to keep paying me. That's all I need, thanks.

LolCait

]]> <![CDATA[Oh No, Your Boss Sent You A Facebook Gift!]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails:

I'm hoping it's because some of them will become "limited edition" or popular and sell for figures vastly exceeding the original $1.

Nothing would make me happier than watching retarded facebook zombies trample each other to pay $1 for a digital Pokemon or something.
