Sentence: Now that she had learned she was soon going to be rich, Wilby Cand decided that it would be great fun to do all those things she had always fantasized about doing if she never had to work again. She slept in on Monday morning, then sent out a company-wide e-mail to let everyone know that she wasn't coming in because she "didn't feel like it" and anyway, "Work screws with my buzz." She went on to describe her distaste with her boss's body odor, in addition to some of his personal habits, such as picking his nose when he thought no one was looking. She said it was too bad that he would be in charge of the whole company soon, since the big boss was "probably about to be prosecuted for fraud and/or will die of extreme old age." The e-mail took her a while to write since she also took care to personally mention each of her incompetent colleagues. All in all, it was the quitessence of a perfect day, replete with gratuitous cattiness, embarrassing (for everyone else) revelations, and sweet revenge, not to mention the sleeping-in part. Only after that did she read the letter again and realize that it said that she "COULD BE a winner," not that she WAS a winner....

Etymology: quit + quintessence (the purest or most perfect example of something)

Oh dear! There, there. Here's a few points for you. Love, VerbMomtomist. P.S. Try usajobs.com (or course, if you are in the U.S. or fancy living there.) - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 21:15:00

Those three points just made my day. I feel bad for abusing the game--it's just been a little bit beyond one of those days today. And I did think someone else might relate. But tomorrow, I'm off. :D CINCO DE MAYO! I have to keep soldiering, looking for new work, or better yet, looking for more education. Thanks again. PS It could be worse. My job is not dull, but what emotional rewards there are are a pyrrhic victory. - mplsbohemian, 2007-05-04: 22:39:00

I should also say that I went from discovering a job rejection to hitting Verbotomy in about three minutes' time, so I was very hot under the collar. - mplsbohemian, 2007-05-04: 22:41:00
