Area Woman Lies about Being Canadian, Avoids DNC Contribution

In what some local residents are calling "not right", Elena (Lany) Mamlok lied about her nationality to eschew solicitation for donations to the Democratic National Committee.

"Oh, screw off!" Mamlok told the barrage of reporters who stormed her porch when the story broke.

Mamlok was approached at approximately 5:30 pm just as she arrived home from work. The DNC volunteer had gotten through the first line of his speil when Mamlok interjected, "I'm sorry -- I'm Canadian, I'm a student." When asked if she had a permanent resident card, she quickly responded, "No."

"I don't know... I mean, I guess it's possible that she's a student," said the deflated DNC Volunteer, "She does live in a good location to be a student at... maybe at Tufts, or Harvard... I mean, heck even BC if she doesn't mind the long commute."

When pressed, Mamlok had this to say, "... I was short on time and, you know what? I already give to the Human Rights Campaign, so I feel like that makes me a good liberal Bostonian."

Mamlok insists that she'll be voting for Obama this fall, and to prove her dedication, she's purchased a life-size cutout of Obama for an upcoming yard sale. "It's going to be awesome!" Mamlok said, giddily.

Company Intranet Still Down, Moral Even Lower

"It's slow as f***", employee Elena (Lany) Mamlok complained. "It's just ridiculous, and I can barely do any work."

Employees say that more than just the intranet is running at a snail's pace.

"Oh yeah, it's not just our internal site. It's just about any site I want to visit that will help me avoid doing work... except blogspot, for some odd reason," chimed an employee who wished to remain annonymous.

The company's IT Helpdesk reports they are still working on this issue.

Cambridge, MA

The biggest upset of Elena (Lany) Mamlok's new career with Gxxxxxx Corporation came this morning, at approximately 8:05 AM when the company's intranet site failed to load properly.

"It's very frustrating. Half of my work for the day relied on the intranet, and the company directory -- and both are down," Mamlok exasperated.

Mamlok is not alone in her frustrations. The company's front desk receptionist also hit a snag when trying to access the site, "Yeah. It's not working," he intimated.

The IT Helpdesk is aware of the situation and are working on resolving the issue, however no other updates are available at this time.

"Well, seeing as I can only get half my work done, I should probably just call it a day at lunch," Mamlok deduced, "My colleagues are having the same issue and, as a group, we feel leaving early would be the smartest decision... I mean, why put even more stress on a system that's already over burdened?"
