TGIF

Email #1 :

Reminder!!!
Bunny Due Date is Monday, April 2nd.

We've collected about 50 bunnies, but normally have over 150 :-( , so let's all go shopping asap!! Please see attached message from your Bunny Central office. It's time again for our annual Easter Bunny Drive (or any stuffed toy animal you'd like to donate) . As always....Thanks so much for your generosity and compassion for North Carolina's sick children and elderly populations!!


Email # 2 :

Hi all,

Please read the email below regarding the replacement of the chiller in the Our building. This work is scheduled to begin next week and may take up to a month to complete. We will be without air conditioning during this time. Building management have requested that the work be delayed until we move from this building and we were informed that this is not possible because the work is under contract and affects folks in the Clark building as well.

We have requested fans to help cool the building and move the air. If you have other suggestions to make working conditions on hot days more tolerable, I will welcome your ideas.

We blew off the bunnies and the poor and the infirm and now Gawd is smiting us. This is our fault. Not my fault because, you know, I came across with the bunny's - but the rest of those unfeeling sonsofbitches, I really hope they feel bad. They totally won't, but I think some of us should get first dibs on those fans, that's all...And do you think anyone at work is going to see the connection? Nah. They think that this pollen season is either a government plot to poison us or a really insidious form of terrorism. I kid you not. They talked about this at length.

But today we talked about trying to stay cool. A number of people suggested that we all just kind of become home based for the duration - this oddly, was not met with much enthusiasm from management , who went on to suggest popsicles as a good heat beater. We then suggested frozen margaritas. Management suggested Popsicles.

I know that this weekend when I'm out shopping for workplace casual swim suits, tee shirts and shorts to wear to the office - where we'll be even longer then we were supposed to, "first week of May" is now "Maybe, June?" - I am totally going to pick up some bunnies.
