Goodbye, boss-across-the-hall!
Friday is my last day at the soulless office park, so I’ve decided to kill off boss-across-the-hall. Sample obituaries include: On Friday, July 15th, boss-across-the-hall was electrocuted in the soulless office park men’s room after dropping his Blackberry into the commode.

Boss-across-the-hall update: jihad!
Says boss-across-the-hall this morning: I am getting some more free time. This is good for me and bad for you. At lunch: If you guys don’t finish your work backlog, I am going to issue a business intelligence jihad on you. Well that sucks. Boss-across-the-hall is a Muslim, but I didn’t realize he had such […]
