I'm going to need to see this picture to know what, exactly, a Comcastic smile looks like.

The corporate world will get you one way or another. Best to accept it now. 'Comtastic' and related BS makes me want to stab myself in the eye, but you can get around it. You're using them, right? Right.
Try doing the Wal-Mart chant a couple times and suddenly a 'Comtastic' smile will seem trivial.

MrSaigon, just to let you know.....I hate your company. They have blacked out 25 Cardinal games on FSN because they wouldn't pay the very very small fee to get the extra games. I called in to at least five different people in the call center to complain and complained to two managers. What a stupid decision they made. I know a lot of people in the Peoria/Bloomington area have switched to satellite, and when I heard what Comcast would have had to pay (around 3% more than what they were paying for 105 games) I about cried. 98% of the other cable companies decided to pick up the extra games. So MrSaigon, your company is evil. Sorry.


But if you can somehow get the games to come back.....you will be my hero.

Um, I find this impossible to believe, after the all the wonderful things Comcast has said about themselves in the last two days of training/orientation.

IIRC, you were teaching English in Vietnam...therefore, the gaggle of English teachers I've met in Asia would lead me to assume:

1. English (or an derivation of this)
2. Asian Studies
3. Communications

Although, I'm thinking Political Science...dont know why.

Well done. In one try no less.

Remember those colored-markers from grade school that smelled like fruit? Today I made a Comcast poster with them. Then the HR lady told me how awesome it was and gave me a high five. This is definitely a joke. But it is what happened.

Why did you have to make that? My guess is that you were required to make a Comcast poster to decorate and personalize your cube.
