Blogging While Working

Blogging While Working (BWW) is the act of, well, blogging at work. Companies may see this as reason enough to fire you, especially if you are divulging trade secrets.

Dave: Angie got fired for BWW.
Jesse: She was a big white woman?
Dave: No, she was blogging while working.
Jesse: Ahhh.

The hood it not working

What Thai restaurants post on their door to signify a temporary closure of the restaurant. If the manager is out, hood translates to 'head' thus giving more definition to the concept itself. Additionally, the 'it' is a philosophical reference to the state the 'hood' is in. To fully comprehend such sign, read it as "The HEAD IS not working"

Manager/owner is out of town on business for a few days and there is nobody to take over the job. Restaurant will post sign reading: The hood it not working"

workingman's curse

It is a condition that causes one to wake up before the alarm clock 7 days a week regardless if one has to work that day or not.
Cure:
Retirement.

I've been working for 8 hours/ 5 days a week for so long my internal clock has gotten the workingman's curse. I go out and party late Friday and Saturday and I still wake at 6:30 am on Saturday and Sunday, just like M-F.
