You probably thought that this blog was dead, didn't you?


You would be that negative. But no - even in this economy I can safely say that no one at WDR has been laid off or has had to take a pay cut. We achieved this by having low overhead costs and not actually paying anyone.

Yes, times have been hard, especially without the Hump Day Helper to get you through your work (or, perhaps now, lack thereof) week or the occasional randomness of Joe's epic blogs. We're living in a time when the internet will probably self-destruct, the oceans are full of plastic, Arlen Spector is now a democrat and we're all washing our hands like Monk to avoid getting something called "Swine Flu." We need something fun to bring us out of the funk we're in nationally (and when I say funk I don't mean the kind with George Clinton). So I propose the epic return of WDR! A place where you can get away from it all - or atl least laugh at it.

Who's with me?

At this point I would like to introduce a far better sport to the world. The sport to end all sports. The sport by which all other sports may be judged. The name of this sport?

...Futball.

The game? - One American-football team vs. a soccer team. The more lenient rules of each game apply simultaneously. For instance, you can carry the soccer ball, each team gets a goalie, etc. One end of the court has a soccer goal, while the other has an end zone, and the team switches goals at half-time, while the ball used in play switches as each "down". More rules to follow later.

Casual Friday Bites Another In The Ass

As I'm sure all of our more vigilant readers have noticed (I'm looking at you, Brazil), there was quite the lull on WDR the last few days. That's right, the esteemed Mr. Ouzo stepped out of the office for a vacation, and as any demanding work environment will do, Mr. Zhuang and I took the opportunity for some office shenanigans.

Nothing too crazy really, just the usual:


Head-photocopying

Haha. Yes, Todd the Copy-Boy's face has sure been seen around a lot more since then. Hehe. We're suing him for wasting our toner. Lots of paperwork in a lawsuit. We're not clear on if we can get the price of toner wasted on the frivolous lawsuit added to the reparations sued for in the lawsuit yet. Here's hoping!

Let's see, what else...

Mr. Ouzo's desk was actually disassembled and rebuilt outside.This is of course the picture documenting those few moments immediately after we reproduced the actual working condition of the desk via a series of detailed photographs, and before a cunning hobo made his move and became the acting emperor of the Tri-Dumpster area.

To make up for the theft of copious amounts of personal information (Nic Ouzo stores scanned and dated files of all his social security, insurance, and credit card information on his computer), we all chipped in and bought Mr. Ouzo a new desk and computer. We felt it would add to the surprise and possibly decrease the binge-firings if we pretended it was his birthday and wrapped it all up.I'm guessing Mr. Ouzo will be both pleasantly surprised and informed.

Our prank on Mr. Zhuang's desk ended with some egg on our faces...I promise, Mr. Zhuang, we really didn't know about your problem and weren't making any kind of commentary. I do know a really good group though, and I will make sure to get you that phone number right away. Trust them, they're good people, and the best way to start really is to admit that you've got a problem.

Can't forget about this one...Don't let his dress fool you - Jack is twice as stupid as he appears. That guy is a real tool.

Let's see, I'm sure there are plenty of other great happenings to enthrall you all with. We did play a long game of Truth of Dare. That's always fun. For instance, who knew that Dave the maintenance guy has had three types of gonorrhea? I didn't even know there were three types. Oh, also it turns out Pam is actually a strict dominatrix with a heart of gold.Seriously. Don't piss her off. Balls in the bleachers, let me tell you


Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this careful documenting of all the things that go on in WDR's halls when the boss is away. Please don't say anything, because if he found out we all slacked off, messed around with the copier, and had a pretty hot three-some with Pam... well, let's just say we'd probably all be hobo emperors of a certain dumpster utopia right now.

Wait, he already came back? There's already a new post? HE KNOWS?!

SHIT, HIDE!
