Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

it is not uncommon for customers to just walk into your cube, sit at your desk, and try to use your phone

Yet another example of people ruining it for the rest of us. Any way you can make your phone look especially unhygenic? Maybe put some rubber vomit (or blood) on it?

We just went upstairs to see where they were putting us. I fear that it's going to be worse up there than it is down here. We're going to be on a floor with customers all over the place, and apparently, it is not uncommon for customers to just walk into your cube, sit at your desk, and try to use your phone. Crap, I'll have to lock up everything when I go to the bathroom, won't I?

Booby traps. Thumbtacks scattered across the seat of your chair will encourage foraging customers to move on to other cubicles.

It is very good soup. And it has bacon. I will be eating it for the next 3 days. If you guys had come over last night, you could've had some!

If I had been there last night, I don't think that there would have been enough for three days. I LOVE potato leek soup. And bacon? mmm. Potato soup for dinner tonight, methinks. I have no leeks, though :(

Ooh, get one of those credit card swipers and attach it to the phone with a sign that lists the price per minute.

(excuse me while I boggle. It's a very unbosslike move. )

I suspect the snowsleetice day means even those of us here are getting little done. I went through a foot high stack of printouts and chucked most of them and generally cleaned off my desk.

I'm having potato leek soup w/ bacon right now, AIFG!

Seriously, you guys inspired me to brave the (not terribly impressive) snowstorm and go to Au Bon Pain (potato leek being one of their Friday soups).

I've got cauliflower leek soup!

....at home.
