  That'll be because you're not supposed to spend all day gossipping on ICQ
when you're being paid to work.

I feel as if you just wrote:

"  Hi all

  At work, they tell me not to bring in alcohol and get drunk on duty.
Someone told me I could pour my vodka into a bottle of mineral water and
sneak it in past the security guard that way.  Has anyone done this before?
What kind of mineral water bottle did you use?  "
