We need to talk about your TPS reports


"Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. JUST a moment..."


Peter Gibbons: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you're not feelin' real well, does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays'?
Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

Joanna: You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Bryan, why don't you make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?

Milton Waddams: I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told Bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.


Nina: Now Milton, don't be greedy, let's pass it along and make sure everyone gets a piece.
Milton Waddams: Yeah, but last time I didn't receive a piece.
Nina: Just pass.

Office Space

Guests: This was Patti and Chris' inaugural movie night. Patti was late due to a last-minute costume change (and wig trim) but it was worth the wait. (Chris looked great, too--you'll just have to trust us on that.) Rick and Chris also came, but were, shall we say, less impressive.

BUT WHERE ARE LISA AND KEVIN? Due to a scheduling glitch occasioned by Lisa's ignorance of the Virginia Tech football schedule, they were out of town (and were sorely missed).

Best costume accessory: A tie between Milton's ID badge and Bill's Initech mug.

Props: A store-bought birthday cake (complete with a "41" candle), a red stapler, Nina's headset (and bosoms), and a banner that said "Is it good for the company?"

Office Space is a 1999 comedy film written and directed by Mike Judge, partially based on his 1991 animated short films named after the character Milton. Though it pokes fun at work life in a typical software company during the late 1990s (there's a reference to writing code for the Y2K bug), the film resonates with corporate employees as a whole, by portraying individuals who are entirely fed up with their jobs.

I can't remember the shoes....but they do look as brown as my face. Was that supposed to be facial hair or a candy bar?
