This is legitimately something that could (should) be reported to HR, though. Equating the history of the holiday to a dumb joke about the Titanic and mayonnaise... come on. The actual celebration is about the Battle of Puebla, where the Mexicans held off a way bigger French force.
Yes, yes, taking things too seriously... this is just one of the holidays that gets made fun of way too much, and it bothers me how willfully ignorant people are about it.

Seriously? I feel really bad for your future coworkers and the HR department you'll inevitably annoy the shit out of.

Coworker: "So, are you counting the days yet?"
Me: "61 days left"
Coworker: "Oh you didn't, I love it"

Captures the general spirit of the office quite well

I'm becoming a lawyer to end workplace chain emails. Which school has the best program for that?

This is a very noble pursuit. I applaud your deep regard for justice and public service, kind sir.

Thanks! I still haven't heard back from Yale or Harvard yet, so I'm gonna stay on the University of Phoenix Johnnie L Cochran Law Center (Rte. 17 location) waitlist. Fingers crossed!

ugh my old company had the best people and we used to have the most hysterical chain emails. We did background checks and would just forward around the most hilarious bits of information, weird interview quotes and form typos. Like the guy who put his "street name" instead of the name of his street.

That is awesome. I really wish that would happen around here because I'd love some nerd to have a street name.

I'm sure this has been covered many years past, but hoping to somewhat ease my money woes with y'alls consolations.

I've been working for a year *trying* to save money for law school. I lived in a pretty expensive 1 bedroom apt in Palm Beach, FL (only because I was too far from home and had minimal options to choose a home 2 weeks before my job started). I managed to save in total only about $7,000 for law school and I'm starting to get anxious with all the expenses coming -- deposits, moving fees, new laptop, etc.

Sigh -- I guess I just want to know if anyone is in the same boat as me. I really congratulate those who have saved enough to basically take the summer off without mommy and daddy's help... Unfortunately, I am one of those who will be living at home for about a month expense free.

If it makes you feel better, I have saved significantly less than that.

Just be sure to not do it in full screen if you do feel compelled to take it there

the inspector general's report indicated the DVD was watched in "full-screen" mode, leading officials to believe "little to no work was being performed during the time that pornographic material was visible on the screen," according to the report.

also I love the fact that this guy was watching DVDs instead of just looking something up on the internet

He probably thought he was covering his tracks by not using the internet.

Hang in there Gray. Just remember, while the early bird catches the worm, the lazy bird gets the same amount of worms for little to no effort while also spiting its bird overlords. Confucius said that I think.

Yeah it's a shithole of a company and my boss's bullshit this morning sort of made me snap. I am the only person working here who has lasted for more than a few months, and I am totally sick of it.

Could you find a temp gig to get you through until Aug?

I used to have an English teacher that said, "the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." Pretty cynical old bird now that I think of it.
