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…

man, at least he's not totally usurping your boss.

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

I’m trying to be boss here at work too, but I keep coming up chump. I got tangled in a project that needs about 3 weeks of work yesterday, and we have to have it done by 9Am tomorrow. The fun part is no one else gets how screwed we are sop I keep jumping up and down and no one is listening.

I’m thinking about napping, and shopping.

i will be DT for a bit for a coworker's happy birthday/hour and then i'll either go home and take a nap or a shower...depending. then definitely going out for a show/something.

i wouldn't doubt if ______ flakes out so we'll have a back up plan. she works until 9 or 10 and it's her on again/off again chump's last night in town.

either way...i can't wait.

ok. the show will be good regardless (i think). we can always get drunk and edit if all else fails.

Funny, I read that as “get drunk and [____] if all else fails.” Didn’t sound bad either…
