One day my Boss asked me to submit a status report to him concerning a project I was working on[/color].[color=#000]  I asked him if tomorrow would be soon enough[/color].[color=#000]  He said[/color],"[color=#000] If I wanted it tomorrow[/color],[color=#000]  I would have waited until tomorrow to ask for it![/color]"([color=#000] New business manager[/color],[color=#000]  Hallmark Greeting Cards[/color].)

[color=#000]As director of communications[/color],[color=#000]  I was asked to prepare a memo reviewing our company's training programs and materials[/color].[color=#000] In the body of the memo in one of the sentences I mentioned the [/color]"[color=#000] pedagogical approach[/color] "[color=#000]  used by one of the training manuals[/color].[color=#000]  The day after I routed the memo to the executive committee[/color],[color=#000]  I was called into the HR director's office[/color],[color=#000] and told that the executive vi
ce president wanted me out of the building by lunch[/color].[color=#000]  When I asked why[/color],[color=#000]  I was told that she wouldn't stand for perverts [/color]([color=#000] pedophiles?[/color])[color=#000]  working in her company[/color].[color=#000]  Finally[/color],[color=#000]  he showed me her copy of the memo[/color],[color=#000]  with her demand that I be fired and the word [/color]" [color=#000] pedagogical" circled in red. The HR manager was fairl
y reasonable[/color],[color=#000]  and once he looked the word up in his dictionary and made a copy of the definition to send back to her[/color],[color=#000]  he told me not to worry[/color].[color=#000]  He would take care of it[/color].[color=#000]  Two days later[/color], [color=#000]  a memo to the entire staff came out directing us that no words which could not be found in the local Sunday newspaper could be used in company memos. A month later[/color],[color=#000] I resigned[/color]. [color=color_ur
