New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.
Ahahahaha! It is to laugh.
First of all, 'Posse?' Passé

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Nicole, I've sent losing tickets in once or twice. Never won anything.
As for ita's problem, I'd tell New Guy, "I don't obssess over what time you get in every day." But in 21+ years, "I haven't seen New Guy today" has been enough to answer any boss questions along that line.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have no idea what's going on, but assume New Guy is an imbecile. Is that correct?
