This snake was spotted in the hallway at work yesterday. Now, I know that I work with some snakes, but I wasn’t aware that actual snakes inhabited the offices.
Facilities eventually stopped by and removed the snake. Minutes later a form letter arrived in our inboxes warning us of the dangers of snakes, urging us to keep an eye open for them when traveling between buildings. There was no mention of having to keep an eye open for them while traveling inside the offices. I guess they were concerned about spreading mass panic.
I’m now having nightmares of snakes lying in wait under my desk, anxious to ambush my leg the moment I sit down.
Our new manager reported in for work on Monday. Look out….
I was taking to a friend at work today when I mentioned the words “daylight savings time”. He, acting all smug, corrected me saying, “It’s pronounced daylight saving time.” Stunned by the sudden admonishment, I pulled up Webster and pointed out the following:
Main Entry: daylight saving time
Function: noun
Date: 1919
: time usually one hour ahead of standard time —called also daylight saving, daylight savings, daylight savings time, daylight time
Oh….in your face, hipster tier 3 guy! It’ll always be “savings” to me.
Speaking of DST, I move that we change the time that we move the clocks ahead one hour to 4pm on Friday. Sure, it’ll suck when we have to move the clocks back an hour, but that just means one extra hour of overtime. In my eyes, that’s a win/win.
…So little time.
Oh, and before I forget, check out this awesome new point-and-click adventure game called Machinarium. Anyone want to buy me a copy?
