Currently I'm being forced to walk back and forth between my desk and the server room.
I'm compiling a list of free drive space. Exciting!
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
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.

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

Shit's all sorts of different now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
"Do these documents need to be added to Section A or Section B?"
Maybe it should be in multiple-choice quiz form.
These documents need to be added to (pick one)

Sumi, can you contact your landlord to ask for a safe pathway? Or, if you or you neighbors have cats, kitty litter provides pretty good traction on ice. If all else fails then strap some hand towels or something to your knees and crawl out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or,
Section A? Y/N
Section B? Y/N
I have laundry in... that's something.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
The guy who was cc'd on the e-mail pointed out to the first guy that it was an either/or question.
First guy replied, saying it should go in whatever section was easiest to find. Which also misses the point, but I am taking the decision out of his hands.

I just ate a bowl of oatmeal and am now trying to motivate myself to get showered and grade. My tendonitis has returned with a vengeance. I've been wearing my brace on and off for a week, but it doesn't seem to be working. Which is bad since I have to grade with that same hand.

You could have a voice synthesizer read the paper out loud. Then on top of that you record yourself yelling "Wrong!" at random intervals the appropriate times.
