I knew a guy who kept statistics on the color mix in each bag he bought. And he really liked chocolate, so he compiled a lot of data.

Not likely, something tells me this guy doesn't get out much.

It was 75 degrees and sunny out today, yet I still have a small pile of snow in my yard from our big snowstorm almost a month ago.

I wonder why, when someone says they are leaving your company for another job, people say "congratulations!". I think something like "we'll miss you" seems more appropriate. Saying "congratulations" seems to imply "congrats on your new job because this place sucks!"

Maybe it does

Usually people switch jobs because they're looking for something better, so "congratulations" would apply
