He's immediately filled with regret in the aftermath, and then attempts to stroll back into work on the following Monday morning, acting as if he never had the confrontation with his boss at all!

(3,335 posts)The Oberweis signs outnumbered the Underwoods signs, made one want to spit each time you saw one. The Oberweis family has supported anti-LGT causes for some time now. Their ice cream delivery trucks are a sight to behold, looks like an ad for the Aryan nation. Some trucks have an extremely blond, extremely white little girl, some have 3 very white children, 2 boys and one girl.
So pleased for this district that Oberweis will not be able to stink it up with their undo, undeserved privilege.
