Ever wonder what sliced bread was the best thing since?
Now I'm curious. Though I think sliced bread has been replaced in the construction which currently sits: "The best thing since pay at the pump."

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

And god bless pay at the pump.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
-t is the anti-me in this, apparently.
We're complementary. We should live together! I'll clean the kitchen during Community, you can tidy something up during Parks and Rec, we'll have a clean house for The Office and 30 Rock. It's a foolproof plan. Aside from all that pesky geography.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The best thing since online check-in for flights.

I'm surprised he skipped over how sliced bread starts life as unsliced bread. Frankly, by the time it's toast, I think it is closer to the end of its life than the start.

In the future, bread is baked in slices instead of loafs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
While you are at school in one room, your parents may be at work in another. People who do office work do it at home. To keep in close touch with other people in their office they use the vision phone. The viision desk is connected to their firm’s computer, which stores all the office files. With this close contact betwen everybody in the office, it is easy to work from home.
Wherever people work—in a factory or at home, or whatever else their job might be—they will work for only three days a week. The rest of the week they can do what they like. They can play football, learn a language, or train for a new job.
Ah, the good old days. Back when we thought we'd be working fewer hours in the future instead of more hours.

dear boss,
when you tell me to tell someone that you will call them back, that is what I tell them. please do not ask me in a huffy tone "was I supposed to call X back?", as if I had neglected to inform you of something.
also? when your employee tells you something is on the foreign office directory (twice in the 10 min you all were discussing it), what do you think it implies when you ask "is it on our local drive?"?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
