Brenda, seriously?!? I think whoever mentioned the Office AU might be right on the money.
Also, I really don't understand people who give their work fax for personal stuff and then don't hover.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dude, I freak out if I forget to lock my computer when I've left non-work-related browser windows open for a minute while in the bathroom.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It's 50 something degrees outside, and the air conditioning is on in the office.
As always, coming to work was my mistake. I would have been here at 8AM had my battery not died, necessitating calling roadside assistance for a jump, and then sitting at NTB for an hour and a half while they replaced the battery.

Ha. I should probably worry more about that, but eh.
At least I'm not leaving mortgage documents lying around like my former boss.

If you have a problem with Rumsfeld, then you'll have to take it up with God, because that's who's telling Rumsfeld what to do. At least according the chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff.

A guy who eventually became a senior VP at the large utility company I worked at once made up an org chart with him in it with a fake promotion. He left it in the copy machine. After the buzz went around that he was an up-and-comer, he actually got a promotion. Many people attributed his early success to the fake org chart.

Maybe he got promoted *because* he's a precog.
