Alright, so anyone who has been reading for awhile has heard me talk about the gigantic white board outside the big kitchen at my office. For newcomers, this thing is literally floor to ceiling, and probably ten feet wide. Maybe more, I'm bad at judging distances. It's huge, and it serves no particular purpose beyond being there for our amusement. Occasionally it will serve as a sign-up for pot lucks or charity events, but by and large it's just there for kicks. (For all the times I gripe about it, I do love my office.)
Anyhoo, the kitchen fairy (aka the lady who stocks our Flavia coffee and other supplies) made a place on the board for kitchen requests. As frequently happens when someone tries to use the board for a function purpose, silliness ensued.
White board Conversation Under the Heading 'Kitchen Requests':
* Sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads.
- Sorry, we can only get goldfish with flashlights.
* Are they ill-tempered?
- Very!
* It's a start.
Alright, I'm willing to concede that there was a lot of build-up for that mildly amusing story, but seriously? I love the tech guys in my office. They make things fun.
On that note, I should probably actually GO to work now. I'm running a little late.
