Officewatch™: My Eyes and Ears Betray Me

Posted by on Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 1:44 PM

While returning from the liquor store (which is one block away, so I am not, as some would accuse, shirking my duties) with a fresh bottle of sherry, I noticed this:

A hallucination.
  • The spaceman is speaking to me

I rushed into editorial to tell Paul, as I was sure I'd seen and heard him earlier in the day, but he was no where to be found. I have now locked myself in the web department to drink away the delirium tremens and their wicked side effects.

What kind of sherry? Fino, amontillado, oloroso? I think you'll regret anything except a nice fino in quantity at this time of day. Make sure it's well-chilled. It's OK to drop an ice cube in.

That's a fabulous prank. Wasn't Jack's falling off the wagon the final catalyst to his rampage? (Not that you've ever even seen a wagon, much less been on one.)

sherry is a fine choice;
at least you didn't go with the "REDRUM, REDRUM"...

Everything is going to be ok, friend. I've got my eye on you. Don't worry.

You are all kinda scaring me... especially with The Tempers (madness?) in bloody-murder font under the message to Grant.

Hey everybody, I committed what would be an unspeakable crime in the state of Washington yesterday. I went into Trader Joe's and bought a bottle of Glenlivet. Only $26 plus tax. Jameson's was $19.99, Maker's was $24. I'm planning to transport it back across state lines.

Also, it's 60 degrees and sunny here.

Well, played, sir. Well played.

My condolences to your liver, Grant. And to mine. Absolut Brooklyn and ginger ale. YUM.

I actually think it's the other way: All play and no work....
