An open message to my fellow employees

i figured it would be easier to communicate using this blog than by email since apparently everyone in this place finds it easier to use "reply all" 4 every mundane exhange at panina & rye and i dont want my inbox clogged with Obama jokes and banana bread recipes. Or quotes from the Fountainhead. Vic im looking in your direction.

anyway, i just wanted to make it very clear that i am not responsible 4 the care of the ferns outside of roger b. neff, esquire's office. it seems like every time they die someone casts a dirty look at my cubicle. like i did something wrong.

also, i dont know if any of u noticed but i took the liberty of ordering a label maker for the break room. i'm using hot pink tape because i think it will be more noticable. since no matter how big i write my name on my dr. peppers it still seems like someone drinks them. unless the big ROB in block letters looks like someone elses name. like maybe ROGER. i'm just spitballing here.

and thirdly: im repeating in case anyone forgot or missed my email that im not going 2 be in tomorrow becuase i have friends coming in from out of town. i know i don't have vacation days left, gretchen, but i figured maybe you could slide me a few from next year since its almost here. please nobody touch the files while im out. every time someone does it takes me like a thousand hours to get it fixed. i know where everything is and i'd like to keep it that way. if you need something for a case or something wait until tuesday when i get back.

lastly, Mr. rye said we all have to put our emails out on this blog but only email me if its really important. Im swamped right now.

I almost forgot. gretchen: I need monday off too.

  1. Rob, I hope you're havng a great and fun time with your friends on your day off! I have to note though that Gretchen witnessed you pouring a yellow viscous substance into Roger's potted ferns last Monday shortly before they took a turn for the worst. This marks the eighth time we've had to replace Roger's office shrubbery and as you know Mr Rye is committed to providing a Green friendly and nature evoking office environment. This is why we developed the Horticultural Decorations and Feng Shui Budget. Unfortunately the frequent demises of Roger's decorative ferns has impacted the budget considerably since Roger has very particular taste in natural decorations and this taste tend sto run on the expensive side. You are a valuable asset to the firm and a great guy but this is becoming a problem. Maybe you are just making a prank? or trying to help the ferns grow. In either case it's unnecessary and is becoming a serious expense for the firm. Hope you're having a great day! Let us all know how it went.
