That idea (staying to search for the bomb) is on a level with asking people to schedule emergencies.
And tommy, Air Borne has come out with Squid Soap! in a cute container!
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
For all those that were thinking about going home - I recommend it. I am still miserable - but no one is looking fearfully at me as I hack a lung out. ( well, the cat looks annoyed, but that is because I woke him up.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which, when reduced to no choice, was actually an improvement (CHEERLEADERS? WTF?).
Yeah, I'd be OK if my job told me to wear black pants and they would give me a striped shirt, or whatever. I don't need to see my coworkers dressed as cheerleaders.

Dear God, would I love to go home. It's conference week and I'm the ONLY ONE in the office. So ... all phone calls, walk-ins, everything, is my responsibility.
let me die now, please

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Is it just me or this an exceptionally crappy work week? And it's only Tuesday!!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Mandatory sports-themed costume. So ... very limited choices.

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

Good one!
Or, the player who dumps Gatorade on, um, the person who made you dress up sports-themed.

I think I'm call-back cursed. I called them (to tell them to use the home # atfer 5:30) and she went to check "because I know I put the file on his desk" and ...it had gotten knocked under the chair.
I'm going to blame the highly curious office cat.
Sigh.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The best thing about the stay and look for the bomb procedure is that it is REAL. When somebody first told me, I thought it was hilarious. And then I was like 'Er, that's not actually real though is it?'. Yep. So I got the written procedure. Somebody WROTE IT DOWN. It got APPROVED. Part of my soul died that day, in the burning fires of corporate stupidity.
