[quote name="Fussbett"]I was very new at my first "multimedia" job, when the slightly dumb vice president said to the president "...I hope you keep at it, because I like living precariously through you". "<i><b>PRECARIOUSLY?!</b></i>" I said in a bold and italicized voice like I was on some sort of dial-up BBS where you would make fun of people and it didn't cost you your job... Fortunately I didn't finished speaking my thought which finished something like "...Haha, you're stupid!" The conversation continued and I was relieved that my interjection was basically ignored. Ignored until the president left the room, and it was just the vice president, me, and some other young employees standing there. She turns around to me and says "YES, FUSSBET. PRECARIOUSLY. You know, being on the edge of something and almost tipping over, but not quite." "Oh, <i>precariously</i>!" [/quote]
