Different departments.

ETA and a damn good thing, or I would be out of here.

I hate those hypocritical, mealy-mouthed Citibank ads. I pass at least five of them every day, and believe me Citibank isn't thinking that "the most important bonds are human" when they're charging me $1.50 to use their ATM. Live richly my ass.

You're not Citibank's target. The people you sweat for, they're the targets. You know the ones in chauffered limos. At your review next month, ask you boss to ask his boss whether he thinks the ads are effective.

My wife can do some photoshop porno work if you get me her face shot, and you could "accidently" leave a copy in the Xerox machine- unless you think that might actually help her career. And you do have to get me a file if I do this.

Learn from your mistakes. If I ever had the same thought as 'ole no brains, I'd be checking my Blue Cross for lobotomy coverage.

I know I'm the target because the ads are on the wall in the subway. My boss's boss gets glossy presentations and personalized letters from KKR and Blackstone about private equity offerings with a $10 million minimum investment. He doesn't need any of that bullshit to feel better about not having all that much money.

Citibank has the billboards that encourage fiscal irresponsibility - i.e., "no one is going to run down the stairs and hug you at the office."

Totally untrue. "Hug." Happens all the time.

You watched your team play the Thistle?

Celtic increased their lead at the top of the SPL yesterday to 4 points after picking up a point at Inverness in a hard fought game. With temperatures in the 'Absolutely Baltic' range and up against a team who have done exceptionally well this season under player-manager Craig Brewster this was never going to be an environment in which champagne fitba’ was the order of the day.

Indeed, it looked as though the Celtic team were frozen solid when they conceded a poor goal inside the first minute when a cross from the right was met by Brewster who was allowed to flick on for the woefully marked Dargo to steer past Boruc for 1-0. The following five minute spell did not give much hope for optimism either as Celtic looked uncharacteristically clumsy all over the park. Telfer on one occasion managed to steer a simple five-yard pass well short of it’s target and out for a throw in, while on the other side Ross Wallace was struggling to get to grips with the defensive side of his game.

At the back , it looked as though the experience of playing alongside Bobo Balde was starting to rub off on Stephen McManus as he looked clumsy and unassured on a number of occasions. In one of these instances the youngster found himself going down as the first name in Dougal’s book after Neil’s pal had adjudged him as having fouled Dargo as he burst through on goal. In actual fact the replay showed that ‘Mick’ had taken the ball cleanly but this didn’t stop chief clowns Brown and Hateful repeatedly stating in the highlights that McManus was, in fact, a ‘very lucky boy’ to still be on the park. Biased nonsense of the highest order as per usual.

Following the initial scares Celtic finally looked to have woken up ten minutes into the game when the midfield started to take control. Naka, visibly shivering in the freezing cold Highland air, was showing some good distribution in the middle of the park and Wallace started to get forward and get crosses into the box. Celtic’s first real chance of the game fell to Shaun Maloney after a well timed Hartson run and centre had set him up but Maloney sclaffed at the effort and Brown in the Caley goal was easily able to pick up.

Celtic were looking good though and you felt it was only a matter of time before an equaliser was notched up. And so it came to pass in the 21st minute when Hartson levelled with an outstanding finish. Wallace got the assist, getting the better of his marker before firing in a cross which the Big Bad One took on his chest before lashing a ferocious left foot volley past the keeper and into the net. It really was a fine finish with what is supposedly the striker’s weaker foot.

Rather than the goal acting as impetus to push on however, Celtic seemed to take the foot off the gas after the equaliser and indeed could have gone behind again after Dougal awarded Inverness a penalty on the half hour mark. McManus made contact with Dargo as he sped into the box and Dougal pointed straight to the spot. In fairness it was the correct decision, however for McManus to be punished with a second yellow - particularly in light of his extremely harsh first booking - would have been a mistake. Not that Brown and Hateful were displaying any seasonal good will as they demanded the Celtic player be dismissed, hung, drawn and quartered. Celtic had Artur Boruc to thank once again as the big Pole (easy girls) dived to his left to block the effort and prevent the corner. The big man has been without doubt Strachan’s best signing to date, a fact backed up by the ‘Only one <insert name here>’ ditty which was blasted out by the support. When was the last time a Celtic goalkeeper got that treatment?

Dougal once again made an erse of things when he awarded Inverness Caley a crazy free kick on the edge of the box, having adjudged Petrov to have handballed. The ball did look to have struck Stan’s arm but it was a certain case of ball-to-hand rather than hand-to-ball and you really expect Premier League officials to be able to differentiate between the two and react accordingly. The anger shown by Petrov and Lennon to the decision was entirely understandable.

The second half continued in the scrappy theme with Celtic unable to create much in the way of notable chances. Petrov looked uncharacteristically subdued in the midfield, prompting suspicion that he had picked up a knock somewhere in proceedings. Certainly the level of influence he has brought to games this season was down on previous weeks and one hopes that he is back to his best for the visit of Livingston on St. Stephen’s day.

Both goalkeepers earned their dues by pulling off some fine stops, Boruc in particular doing well to block a Brewster free kick and at the other end Brown made a diving save from a corner bound Petrov effort to deny Celtic a winner. McGeady, who was having a decent game in my opinion, was hooked in favour of Sutton who got a fine reception from the away support but the big man was to have little joy in breaking the deadlock.

Celtic: Boruc, Telfer, Balde, McManus, Wallace, Nakamura, Lennon, Petrov, McGeady (Sutton 72), Hartson, Maloney.

Subs Not Used: Marshall, Lawson, Thompson, Virgo, Pearson, Du Wei.

Etims MOTM: Artur Boruc

I think she was referring to the "running down the stairs" part, which is very dangerous and not allowed in most workplaces. Hugging, as you note, is generally encouraged everywhere.
