Now, if only
they said "..and drive his BMW into a lamppost", that would be fun.
Lunch, I understand. BMW is just humiliation, pure and simple. Out,out,out.

Well, I guess we can take some solace in the knowledge that
it is the fruit of our proletarian labor that allows him to piss away that much money on an automobile. Of course, most of us would prefer a simple raise. ;-)

Oh Boy! Tickets Go on Sale soon!!!!
From our intranet (names xxx'd to protect the guilty):
Starting next week, xxxxxx and xxxxxx will be selling raffle tickets for a chance to have lunch with [CEO] and drive the Beemer. What fun! Two employees will visit with [CEO] on March 30, 2004. [CEO] will pick the lunch spot. Tickets are $1.00 for 3 or $5.00 for a whole bunch.

I hope this is the low point in my "professional" development.

What are you saying here --
-- from these bits: Starting next week, xxxxxx and xxxxxx will be selling raffle tickets
[ . . . ]
I hope this is the low point in my "professional" development. ...it kind of looks as if "I hope this is the low point" is because one of the rows of x-es stands for "Mike Moffitt"? If so, I can only commiserate.

Thank you for pointing out that it could be worse!
I hadn't even considered the possibility of actually having to try to sell the tickets. I feel better already.
