On reflection this sounds like more fun than what I actually do. I will be the ILE secretary. (NB secretary is not tea lady).

Also prone to irrational outbursts. I think the problem is the first bit though.

I'm the quite guy who mutters to himself and everyone thinks is weird and sortof creepy. But then I am actually a weekend-warrior hipster, little do they know!

At karaoke-time I would perform 'These boots are made for Walkin'.
I would drink too many margaritas and weep about my abortions.
Eventually I would be taken to the hospital to have my stomach pumped.
My clip-on ponytail would be found in the loos at the end of the night. It would be stiff with dried vomit.

Though, she would say no, her mouth would be covered in dry vomit.
Every time Michael Reed saunters past the typing pool we all snigger.
None of us will tell "Mister Quick" what we are laughing about.

Ally: Yo
Nancy: I'm kind of worried. Someone left this in my inbox anonymously.
Ally: Give me a cigarette and I'll take a look. Mmm. A brochure. 'Chlamydia is NOT a Flower.'
Nancy: I suspect its somehow connected to Michael and ...the party.
Ally: He gives everyone the same Christmas present.
Nancy (sobbing with disgust): I wish I'd never heard of GAYDAR CORPORATION.

Disgruntled workers grumble: "Rhubarb, rhubarb."
CEO: "And actually I'm quite disappointed. Nitsuh should've spotted the issues about the recordings in the contract and Nick Currie didn't even try to *film* the surveillance camera before he was sacked in the third week for sneaking Japanese girls into the stationery cupboard. And Tadeusz. The lawyer, right? He didn't spot it either. I will admit that we filled certain positions with a kind of typecasting in mind, since that makes such good television. I'd love to be a gracious network executive and give Ally her own series, but in order to get this she'll have to shag Ramon live on New York public access cable. Or no deal. Call it a little moral conundrum if you like, but I think it karma for calling me a fuckwad. And Micheal, if your work life is now flashing before your very eyes, freeze-frame on the spot where you thought you were on your own in here, picking your nose. I mean, really having a GOOD DIG. How many calories do you think were IN that bogey?"
Sure Suzy love, CCTV and all that. Sure....
*whispers loudly to the following crowd*
It's the stress. She's going to have to lay some people off and her engagement to Momus was called off. She's been in the CCTV room for hours replaying footage of Momus. It's sad really. Just go about your jobs and act like everything is "o.k".
Ally: You mean that FUCKWAD lied to me? Nancy: She's ill, Ally. I mean when I was ill.. Ally: SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GIVE ME A CIGARETTE I WILL SHOW THAT FUCKWAD WHOSE BOSS.
*cue Ally angrily smoking and thinking of plans for revenge*

Oh hi Suzy great day. Suzy: We are all watching you. Yeah right....
See....it's *another* failed love affair. Ally told me.

Upthread a special someone mentioned that Jude Law dug his stuff. The poor naif should know that Natural Nylon bods being interested in your stuff is sooooo '96, not to mention a great way to kill a career before you've got one.

This is the reason why I avoid people like you. Good art is timeless.
― micheal reed, Friday, 7 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)
I just quit. Well....I'll quit again! I SAY GOOD DAY TO YOU MS. SUZY ARTSCHOOLDISKO.
(PS. And that's not the only people interested....hahahaha..)
*slams door AGAIN*
I have nothing against Jude Law, by the way. He's great in others' films and when I met him he was fairly pleasant. This was a while back, before that lot went on their bad cafe society bender.
Again, I say GOO DAY!
*slams door again*
I SAY GOOD DAY!
Oh...I'm Ms. Suzy Artschooldisko....people can't have fun, I've got to be the boss, nahnahnah.
I SAY GOOD DAY TO YOU!
*runs out of the office before Suzy can say anything else*
What a munificent boss I am. Now whose round is it.
I too like Jude Law as an actor, its just that those two impro movies done by the Operation GOod Guys boys stank up tha' cinema. Never do your Rada mates a favour.

Now I've just put £250 behind the bar at The Eagle so we can celebrate Micheal's departure in more style than he will *ever* know. Cool?
YOU CAN'T FIRE ME BECAUSE I QUIT!
*an eerie winds blows about as I slowly realize that the office is emptied*
I slowly pack up my collection of 1971 playboys and take the lift for the last time.
I'M FREE!!! I'M FREE!!!! *ripping off tie* I'M FREE!!! I'M FREE!!
Cue: End Music.
Quick - back to the pub. I have a horrible taste in my mouth.
I would have fired him weeks ago, but you know these creatives. So highly strung. I knew if we wound him up he would just quit. My management style also equals not having to be nasty when people can happily be nasty to themselves.
