You ain't spent much time in an office.
This is true.

Actually my office is a place of great, great excitement.  Children having melt downs, spur of the moment theatrical performances, the sudden apearance of live-sized shark puppets and the like.  This is why the drinks get abandoned on my desk - staff come in and are hooked into activites so exciting that they totally forget about beverages they have just set down and charge off to do said exciting things.

Also, in my final day at the office before my big trip, yesterdays Spring Cleaning Smack Down was just awful.  It took my full time there, with two other staff memebers helping, to get the job less than half done.  But now I'm gone for two weeks - will I return to new messes, or will someone else lead the charge to get the rest done?  Who knows?

Let's not mislead the younguns, though.  Unfortunately this is not a feature of most offices.

Yeah, they irk me too, they're just so show-y, I want to tell most of them to shut the fuck up most of the time.  But that's most people really.

Today I am sporting my favorite T-Shirt, which reads "shoot artists" with a picture of a gun on it.  Most people just assume it's a t-shirt for some obscure band they've never heard of, but no, actually, it is just a simple statement.

Shoot the artists, shoot them for art.

On the topic of becoming Pat... I have just transcended from merely a prescriptive grammar person, to this:

Quote
I find it hilariously ironic that Ms. Goodwin's article bemoans the "complexification" of modern life. What happened to good old "Complication?" Wikipedia, while useful, is not the best resource, being entirely contributed by anonymous users. However, I whole-heartedly agree with her general sentiment.

-Daniel R. Burton

I did manage to avoid bringing up that they both come from the same Latin root (although the new word has an additional one needlessly tacked on.)
