What is even happening?

What you said about the briefcase. Who tests an unknown with 150,000 real dollars ? And yeah, that they didn't get it was a test really stretched it for me. But the whole conversation about voting tickled quite hard. I wondered, for a moment, if your Bob's friend had ever lurked in Bureaucracy.

We no longer have a receptionist on our floor for some reason, and I haven't been able to find a good rumor as to why. And the other receptionist on the floor got tapped to replace a long time employee who apparently left/got laid off/for some reason is gone, baby, gone!

Oh, the intrigue!

So we have absolutely no receptionist on this floor, which means they have locked the doors so only people with keycards can get in. This is problematic, since many, many customers come in to do business with a big department on our floor.

And guess where the doors are?

Right. Behind. My desk.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And guess where the doors are?

Right. Behind. My desk.

Of course. Does an alarm go off if you prop the door open? Our floor has an alarm, and they had to send out an e-mail the other day reminding people NOT to set the alarm off, because they were getting so many false alarms, it was endangering our alarm permit.

I don't think an alarm will go off, but I'd need to get actual permission to prop open the doors. I won't be doing that, because then I'd have people wandering around the office knocking on my cube walls or shouting "Hello! Hello? HELLO." because they don't know where to go.

I'd rather listen to the futile sound of the rattling doors.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I thought I might have more motivation to be at work today (or, really, be awake) than I did yesterday, but I don't.

Oh well.

I thought I might have more motivation to be at work today (or, really, be awake) than I did yesterday, but I don't.

I think I am in a state that may not actually count as being conscious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm napping right now AIFG!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto. Tritto.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out how to organize the top of my desk, and I think the Desk Apprentice may be just the thing!
