Is it too much to ask that we get at least one chocolate old-fashined? I don't think I can face another cheese horn.

Hey guys? I've got this room scheduled from 2 till 3:15. Do you think you could use Conference Room "Bunny," down on 42?

Okay, who pooted?
posted by mudpuppie 13 January | 15:37
I'm just the doorkeeper, but an assistant just delivered what appears to be a resignation letter from our previous President -- I guess he's just resigned...

(I think he got today's date wrong, but you know the ol' Prez *mimes drinking, drunkness*).

I brought my dogs!

At my last shitty job, one of the managers actually did bring her yappy little fuckers to work. Every day. And took them to meetings. I've been gone from there for almost a year now, and I heard that she was only last week asked to leave the dogs at home.

Anyway, sorry to disrupt the meeting, but it was getting kind of boring and I thought maybe we could use something to bond over.
