I vote the someone with a cowbell comes in tomorrow morning and finds their run-over cowbell on the desk. I think that is worse than the stupid singing fish I had to disable a few years back.
I am immune to these earworms.

I keep thinking it's Thursday.
I'm ahead of you, because I keep thinking it's Tuesday.

someone a cube over is fiddling with a goddamned stupid cowbell that shouldn't have been allowed in the building anyway
I think you need to ask if they have a prescription for it and, if not, take it away from them (and possibly beat them with it until they bleed from the eyes).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have I mentioned how much I hate automated phone systems that pretend to be people?
Yes, okay, I have. But I still hate them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Close call! I just had to tell my officemate (/subordinate) about Dress A Day, forgetting that she always wants to know how, exactly, I know people. I went back to my old standby, "Oh, friend of a friend, that kind of thing...."
Heh. Aren't you guys friends with my agent, who is Erin's sister? At some point, how you met is irrelevant, righteo? (This is my new thing, I will add "eo" to the ends of words with great whimsy.)
Seriously, I never get why people ask, "how did you meet?" It never occurs to me.

I came home last night to find an automated political telephone ad that tried to negotiate with my answering machine.
It continued with "I'm sorry, I do not understand your request. To replay this ad, press one. To learn more about blah blah blah, press two." silence. "This is a very close election. To learn more about blah blah blah, ..."
It kept repeating until my answering machine cut it off.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you just said."
"Okay! I can help you with that."
NO, YOU CAN'T. GIVE ME A PERSON.
