Apologies for the late submission. I resigned from my position at Contradiction Incorporated last week and after giving two weeks notice, my boss has clearly made the decision that my two weeks will be packed with work. What a silly concept.

My colleagues and I in the Paperwork Department have been on edge this week because of certain directives sent down by “management” that have seemingly flooded us with small items to do in the office while we are being publicly flogged for not being out of the office and selling our useless...

With the Paperwork Department almost totally empty today, I have a little time to update the blog with the lunches from this week. Unfortunately, lots of people were traveling or “out sick,” so the evidence is not as plentiful as usual. Not that that should keep me from updating the blog,...
