Shirley Lou Mcdying

Shirley Lou McDying was obnoxious and loathsome. Please let me add despicable, irritating and spiteful. There was frankly nothing delightful. But we co-workers resisted using terms that sing. because she was new, so we gave her a few thousand chances. But she was a back-biting, evil, mean-spirited thing. We discussed her evilness and her jealous strife, Until the boss made his little announcement that Shirley Lou was going to become his wife. It is weird how fast we tried desperately to find at least one thing likeable about Miss McDying. An impossible task, but he had given us impossible tasks before, so we kept trying.

Surely you found s/t nice to say about Shirley. Amusing tale here. Human nature esposed in all of its insecurity. :) gw

LOL. I think I have known a few Shirley Lou McDyings in my lifetime. They can bring a lot of stress and unproductivity into the workplace. I suppose she makes the boss happy!
