Dear AP department, having me scan a paper invoice so I can email it to you and then throw it away in my trash can (instead of giving you the paper invoice to scan and then throw away in *your* trash can) does not, in fact, reduce the amount of paper waste in the office.

Scanning all of our invoices is probably a good move for other reasons, but "becoming a paperless office" is not one of them.

I am confused by the xkcd as well... why would the birds stop the people from driving down the street?

I thought the idea was that if you have open windows and loud music, they will try to get in.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I thought the idea was that if you have open windows and loud music, they will try to get in.

And even if the car windows are closed, it would be like a scene from The Birds, but with extra bonus squirrels.

Or in my neighborhood, bonus racoons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And accepting responsibility for your mistakes while carrying a feasible mitigation plan so far seems to be the best way of handling things that kinda gotta happen to everyone.

Indeed. Thank goodness most people here are really nice and helpful. We have a plan! I am emailing everyone! And setting up meetings! And had a buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch.

Mostly I'm glad I already have wine in the house. Last time I had a Friday like this, I didn't, and there is no cheap wine place near me. And I love cheap wine!

So my company has just managed to make itself the laughing stock of a large portion of the state and anyone who reads the local paper.

Our new offices are being built in a new development on Morning Glory Lane. Executives of my company asked the city to change the name of the street because apparently Morning Glory is a term for a morning erection. Half the comments on the newspaper story are "I've never heard of that, what kind of perverts is this company?" and the others are "Good lord, these people are prudes, no one would have thought of that unless it was pointed out."

I'd never heard of that slang, but Hubby had. Urban Dictionary has it, but there's a lot of stuff in there that I've never heard of

"Good lord, these people are prudes, no one would have thought of that unless it was pointed out."

Sounds about right. It's not like you're building on Morning Wood Blvd.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

They should change the name of the street to Cocksucker Boulevard.
