Thankfully, it is right behind my cube. Unthankfully, I can't get out for another hour.

Entertain me.

Distraction and indirection. Throw a lit red stapler over the wall. Then bolt...

Finally.

The thing about being an IT worker in a non-IT shop is that 99.999% of the stuff discussed in these meetings is of absolutely no concern to me.

Doesn't that take 6+ hours lead time preparation? (YMMV, depending on your metabolism and specific diet).

Ask the boss if he is gaining weight, or is it just those pants making his butt so big.

Is this a kind of universal thing guys do??? My SO talks about it all the time!

I assume we are talking about the same thing btw... i.e. leaving one's "essense" as one moves along a hall way or in a elevator or store...

Bribery around here usually involves food. I currently have a bet going on the end date for FileMaker as a web server that involves Hawaiian food. :)
