guy in my office who started dragging his feet on the floor instead of picking them up. only recently. but does it all the time now.
and he groans a lot too. like he's been told bad news.

I wonder if he's a zombie.

Hope the wife is OK. My wife was hit in a parking lot on Saturday. We're still trying to get sorted with their insurance company. Regular PIA process.

When he stops behind your chair and moans, be very afraid.

I think I could out maneuver him. He's a little out of shape. I think that's one reason he shuffles and moans.
Poor guys 30 y.o. That's what office work will do to you.

You are a good person.

One time a friend lent his transponder and for about 1 week was listed as the winner of a race.

And I thought my morning was bad running around getting signatures notarized and faxing documents for a mortgage refinance. I hope everyone is unhurt.
