I’ve decided I’m allergic to my desk. Does that mean I get to go home?

Not likely. I’m sure you will manage not to succumb to your allergies for two more hours.

I’ve solved the allergy problem. I got all the paper towels out of the bathroom, taped them together and made a nice table cloth. Unfortunately I accidentally trapped all my data entry under the paper towels.

Yeah, one of the marketing guys came by and wanted to use the paper towel table cloth for something. Knowing marketing I decided I didn’t want to ask why and just gave it to him.

Hey, can you come over to my desk for a minute? I need to ask you a question about the report you submitted yesterday.

I figured out what marketing wanted with the paper towels. I never thought of playing golf with spit wads before. Hey, does the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom on your side need a key to open?

I refuse to allow you to take all the paper towels out of the bathroom!!!!!!
To: SuziQ@...
From: Peter@...
Time 4:09 pm
Too late, looks like someone already grabbed them. Don’t worry, I’ll grab you a handful that you can keep at your desk. I’ve got a bunch stashed away in my bottom drawer along with a roll of toilet paper just in case they get any funny ideas about that.

You’ve got less than a half an hour to go. Why don’t you try getting some work done? It may help you pass the time.
