Oh god, no. You have to strike while the office supplies are available.
When I temped for many years, the only way I ever got a decent chair was to swap with somebody who'd just left.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Much ~ma and hugs all around this morning. I think I'm the one who stole all the sleep. Sorry.

I like you....I'd hate to have to kill you to get my sleep back. I am drag assing despite the caffiene infusions. I'm about to give in and ask my doc for some sleeping pills.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I got to play RockBand over Thanksgiving. I was starting to get pretty good at the drums! Anyway, every song I hear now I can picture as a RockBand song.

with the recent layoffs here at the work place, and desk space a premium, would it be uncouth to stake out one of the abandoned desks,
It is a time-honored tradition for co-workers to hover like vultures over the furniture and office supplies of the departed.

I'm sending out the e-mail. Just trying to figure out how to open it up. I'm guessing "since the economy is in the tank, and some folks got the can, is it ok if I can squat where James used to hang" would be bad.

It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
