I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.

And did you reply with "Sorry, I don't lie to people, even at the request of my coworkers"?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.

"I'll get right on that, as soon as you are the one responsible for my paycheck."

What a tool.

I have quite a bit of anger towards my boss at the moment. It's my ridiculous sense of "do what is right."

New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.

Ahahahaha! It is to laugh.

Because books.

Hey flea, I found half a bottle of a very nice palest pink polish that might work for you. You want it now, or do you want me to toss it into the exchange?

Don't tell anyone, but New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.

Please tell me that you started laughing and walked away?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was facetious in my answer.

Like, "Ha ha, you're such a kidder?"

I am having almost nostalgic thoughts about my Insane Coworker, who would come in, turn on her computer, and then walk down the street to get breakfast and come back a half hour later. As if I couldn't see her.

Ahahahahaha! He's so funny!

... wait, was he serious?

I'm hoping the boss doesn't ask. He probably won't. He's not the sort, I don't think. It's not a position I'd want to be in even if I hadn't been prompted with an answer.

What I told New Guy was that I'd tell boss he came in at 8:30. When he said that's not what he'd meant, I corrected myself and told him I'd say he came in at 7:30, of course, and just left it there. I'm pretty sure he heard what he wanted to hear. I had no strength to get into being flatly honest. Still don't.

But I'd rather appear to have lied to him than actually lie to the boss.

I'm getting the pig!

New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.

"Just as soon as that actually happens, sure."

What a tool.

Because it needed to be repeated.

I have some non-winning scratch tickets that say you can mail them in for another chance at winning. Has anyone here ever won by doing that?
