“Slackers on Break, Again” haha I love that one. It totally describes a majority of my department. Except slacking isn’t done by the water cooler since we’ve replaced our watercooler with just having water bottles in the fridge. All the slacking usually takes place by the vending machines or in the department living room.

Man, no water cooler at my office I feel like I am missing out on my chance to stand around and talk my way to great skin and a bad career. Just my luck!

I like Jibber Jabberettes.

But I’ve always had a soft spot for Mr. T.

Hmm, does a faucet with reverse osmosis count as a water cooler? Because that’s what we have at my office.

Who knew I was missing out on so much?!

It’s true. He will send you those pizzas. No doubt about it. Thanks for the link-y goodness, by the way.

“Time to make the doughnuts.” I must commend you for being one of the only people on our fair planet today who actually still spells “doughnut” correctly. Also, you might be interested to know that line is also one in an X-Men comic. I remember it because of how cool yet random it was.

And on an unrelated note, I read your rock “n” roll article in mental_floss this morning, and I was quite pleased. I even went almost the whole subway ride without listening to my MP3 player. I couldn’t put it down! Thanks for making this youngster literate again.
