Very much rude, but you won’t have to look him in the eyes when you hit that puppy with the newspaper, so your call.

I was assuming you might be sick, you could also go that route, I was a bit under this morning, well just a sore throat.

I’m giving the reach around here too, I spent 1.5 hours on stringpong then I’ve needed like 4 hours for special projects and bookepping. I’m at like 70% for my daily work. Yuk, I need to get my ass out of bed tomorrow and get in here early.

In other odd news, hitting ______ after work for a photo shoot for the _______. I guess they don’t know about hipsters over there and would like some ideas for the readership…

yeah. i've worked harder today than ever before. probably 6.5 hours. now i'm staring blankly and the beige "walls" of my cube ruing the day i ever opened my mouth to ______. i guess since i'm already bent and lubed, i might as well just resume the position tonight as well. i'll just get really drunk. i would be totally cool if he just understood the rules.

i have spent zero time on the pong. tomorrow hopefully.

are you being featured in the paper? what the sh!t?!

These things happen…
…sometimes because we’re boss.

____ was interviewed about having fun on the cheap, and basically just regurgitated everything I’ve ever told him so he though it’d be appropriate to have me down for the shoot…

i'm staying true to my word...it's the boss thing to do. i don't want to take the chumps' way out.
