I stayed home Monday through Wednesday this week with the stomach flu. When I walked into an empty office this morning, I found this.
I then sent the following email:
“Okay, mean people, **WHO** has access to bio-hazardous waste bags? Also, where is everyone?”
And a coworker responded:
“Your plot to take over [the office] using bio-warfare has succeeded. The remaining few of us will serve you faithfully.”
They annoy the crap out of me sometimes, but I do love working with smart people.

That’s AWESOME.
Also: I have to tell you, ever since you posted a comment on my blog about YOU WILL DIE IF YOU EAT THE CAKE BATTER, you are now a commonly-mentioned personage in our household.
When Chip is licking the pan: BETHSIX SAYS YOU’RE GOING TO DIE.
When Whimsy is licking the electric beater things: BETHSIX SAYS YOU’RE GOING TO DIE.
And so on and so forth. You’re famous!
IT IS TRUE, Whimsy. Do not mock the death by salmonella. Stop licking the batter, SO AS NOT TO DIE.
There can never be enough said about how witty, intelligent co-workers can make the drudgery of the daily grind ALMOST bearable.
I almost wish people could spend a day or two amongst their future co-workers before accepting a position.
highlyirritable, this is a FANTASTIC idea! We’re actually about to hire someone new in my office. I would love if we could do this, for her sake and ours.
