That's what they want you to believe!
Ancient Egypt worshipped cats. Somewhere between then and now they've lost that status, but they'll be back.

I would rather look what happened to you. Got some bad habits, huh? 
Did you mean "civilisation"?
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

I've lived in Canada for 19 years, so I've yielded on some things.
However, I still insist on spelling and saying aluminium correctly and the correct pronunciation of schedule (shedyool - the h softens the c!)

My grandparents, long gone now used to have a dog and after it died my grandmother kept buying Alpo dog food. When I asked her why she said it was cheaper than corned beef hash in the can and grandpa didn't know the difference.

According to my grandfather the Corned beef hash (Alpo) he was eating was really good and he would never eat dog food.

I do something like that once in a while when I feed my cats treats (Whiskas Temptation) - just to gross out my wife... 
But seriously: If it were harmful to you, would you really feed it to your pets?

There are plenty of foods that are safe (or even beneficial) to people that are harmful to pets, e.g. dogs and chocolate. I assume that the converse is true, as well.
Animals and people don't have the same dietary requirements!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I have no patience at all. I been on a train wreck of a diet this week cause it's cut week and today is my last day at work. I'm more irritable than any woman you can think of. and:
This chump I'm working with is master of doing nothing.
Since january he's been saying he was working on an item. The boss was asking about it yesterday and he asks me (in front of the boss) like I should have had it done. I'm like "I didn't know that's something I was going to be doing." Boss is like "well, yeah we need that". I was like "I know, and I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that item wasn't mine".
EOD we have a list of "must haves" to get done today. So he is like "you foucs on this and this, and I'll work on this". The item he picked being one he knew 1) I don't enjoy and 2) he's goina be strong at.
So this guy mentions it to me this morning about him not getting his item done (the one he mentioned in front of the boss yesterday like it was my fault) in passing like he's on my side about it.
Now, I just finished all but 1 of my items of the "must have" list and he's like "ok that will be good, now you can focus on x"... which is the one he was supposed to have done by the end of the day today. To top it off, I have one item left that is a bug. When it doesn't get done, but the rest of it does, he's goina throw me under the bus again.
There's not much a conversation is going to do about it. I've tried already and once it was my fault somehow and the second time it was "well, he's busy" etc.
I am considering not doing the item. Mabye going home early. I'm not feeling well now or something.

Putting him in a submission hold might change his immediate outlook on the project, and who he is willing to throw under said bus.

I'm going to have to consult the handbook, but I'm pretty sure that's against office policy.

This discussion could be entitled Dealing with people. I understand that you have less patience now that you are cutting weight. But there shouldn't be a lot of patience for that kind of behaviour in any situation.
|
|
|
|
|
You are obviously dealing with a NullReferenceException. What you need to do in this particular situation, is "don't" trap the error, and let it bubble up to the top of the stack, where it will be handled by your boss.
That is what bosses are for.

Try to find the bright side: if he pushes you much further, it'll save you some wear and tear on your punching bag.

Ah, i see...
But remember, once your boss recognizes where the problem is seated, you might lose a lot more weight than by diet 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I'd leave not-so-subtle clues about your extra-work activities. Maybe he'll understand whom is talking to, and that it is not a good idea to behave as he does.

Use his own technique against him. Don't finish his item, but do finish yours. At the end of the day YOUR list will be cleared, but HIS list won't. When confronted about it act all surprised "I didn't know you wanted me to do it, I must've heard/understood you wrong. Man, so sorry about that!"
And if all else fails, just ask yourself... What would Wally do?[^]
