Some of our latest threadjacks include:

Is everyone gone, or this not working?
Everyone’s gone. Except for me because it’s still 3:30 here and I’ve got an hour of work left.
I’m still here. In the “waiting around for other people to give me things so I can do them and go home” phase of my day.
Ha. This west coaster was really looking forward to the afternoon comments.
Same.
Office…bar cart? Ha. Hahaha.
Right? Trying to imagine any universe in which that would be okay.
Although I’m sure Harvey Weinstein has (had) one…
I have a globe bar I bought forever ago. Okay drunk. Okay yeah, from skymall drunk on a plane. It came and I have it now and I’ve always wanted to put it in my office. Most of my colleagues have a bottle of liquor hidden somewhere in their office because they are gifts and we never take them home. I’ve not seen anyone actually drink from them. I’ve tapped into mine only once for a weekend long trial prep situation.
I really want to roll that globe bar in one day though. It’s been 8 years or something so it’s probably not going to happen.
