I posted something a couple of days ago crowing about myself, and ended with this line:
We now return to our modest and self-depreciating self.
I'd just like to thank everyone who didn't point and laugh at me for not using the correct phrase "self-deprecating".
Bragging on yourself is bad enough, but to say something stoopid while doing it is downright embarrassing. Mmmm, foot. The other white meat.

Posted by: Tuning Spork at April 9, 2004 10:47 PMWe printed a mistake in our daily convention newspaper (no big deal, just omitted a number in a suite -- we put 407 instead of 4007). So the CEO went nuts and printed up signs that he taped in all the elevators to say that the number was printed wrong in the program book (we didn't do the fucking program book). It's like misspelling the word "mistake" when you're trying to correct yourself, but at least you corrected yourself beautifully on the first try. ;)
