My office is awesome

[christopher575]

Yesterday our phones started acting really weird. Lots of erratic ringing, dropped calls, people picking up ringing phones that would continue to ring with the handset lifted, etc. Also, one of our very important printers--the one that prints very, very important documents onto carbon forms--wouldn't print. A technician was here this morning and was able to quickly determine the cause.

Mice.

Mice are chewing through cords in the office. It happened once before; nosmoking_'s mom's phone was out for a week because a mouse found a peanut M&M next to her phone cord and chewed through it trying to get at it. But apparently the problem is getting worse, and they're working their way through the cubicle walls munching whatever they can find. 

How's your Friday?

How's your Friday?

Do you happen to have a multi-story building I could throw myself off of? That'd be great! Thanks!

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Please don't. It'd totally ruin your outfit.

[pixink.livejournal.com]

Not to worry - I'm currently without attire.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Nice. I sure wish I was.

[pixink.livejournal.com]

It's the only way to be when one throws oneself off of a building!

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

BTW I don't know you well enough to not be disturbed by all this talk of jumping.

A: I love my mother far too much to throw myself off of a building.

B: I still retain the right to discuss throwing myself off of a building as often as I like.

C: I also retain the right to drink myself in to a coma, as soon as I get rid of this blasted chest cold.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

This is all helpful information. As you were.

PS-I wish I was there to help you drink yourself into a coma. You could basically just try to keep up with me and that would totally do the trick.

That'd be swell! All we'd need would be a box of wine and two spoons!

Busy, finally. I am butt-ass tired.

I recently found out rodents have chewed through the hose to the propane tank on my grill outside. thankfully the main valve was off.

My Friday? Guh.

Really, really guh.

Are you hiring?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Often. The turnover is suddenly spiking, and I hope to be a part of it soon.

[jameth.livejournal.com]

Crap.

Oh, and to answer your question: My Friday sucked right at about 3pm when I made the realization that my 3-day weekend would suddenly involve coming in on Saturday to get caught up, otherwise I would just now be getting home from work. But I did get to watch a dreidel grow in a bucket of water for half of the week.

I haven't done one of those grow-a-things in years. How'd it turn out? And speaking of answering questions, I still want to know the answer to mine here:

My guess is no but the resemblance is there.

It is still growing. It got more attention today than the uncanny embryos. But I think the wind-up bowl of pho will pull ahead for Monday's amusement.

No, not the same girl. The girl in the video disappeared from being my friend. I think because I put that video of her on the Intertrons.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

That's sad. It's a cute video.

[jameth.livejournal.com]

We should get pho sometime with the bad robot so that we can reenact that scene when he discovers tripe. I will try to have a camera present.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I'll bring my camera, too. We can get it from two angles.

[jameth.livejournal.com]

Quality.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

No tripe.
