Addictive Impulse Messaging.

mandyheartshubbell: it's been about 3 weeks and not one person has mentioned how fabulous the new UPS center looks.

JMK82: i'm sorry

mandyheartshubbell: could you just help a sista out and please do so? you know, praise it - even if you don't mean it.

JMK82: no one said anything because it is pretty obvious how amazing it its.

mandyheartshubbell: really?

JMK82: and i'm so happy you set it up! it made my whole month!

mandyheartshubbell: THANK YOU!

JMK82: but back to me - i still don't understand why i have to work on the 24th with Brad.

mandyheartshubbell: um yea, you do know.

JMK82: it just seems so unfair. i loathe him - like what if he tries to go to lunch with me or something?

mandyheartshubbell: he won't. he knows your disdain for him.

JMK82: do you think i'll be able to leave a little early on the 24th - it is Christmas Eve after all.

mandyheartshubbell: how many times do we have to go over this? YOU ARE A JEW! you don't need to leave early on the 24th.

JMK82: will you at least promise me that i won't have to hang out with Brad on monday?

mandyheartshubbell: YES! i'm composing an email now asking him to stay away from you until further notice because you have the clap.

JMK82: i guess having an imaginary STD is better than being seen in public with him.

Re: Bye-Bye Hiten.

People:

It's a sad, sad day for our ever decreasing in size office:

Hiten, every one's favorite late arriving, smart-ass intern is leaving us for reasons that not even the human heart can understand...
We'll be doing cupcakes later, and I have a card up here for everyone to sign. The card is both for his birthday (that was last week and he didn't tell us so as to avoid the embarrassment of everyone singing at him) as well as his leaving. I feel he deserves a card for both for all his hard work and for at least showing up once every few weeks the way he did...

Below, is an email example of Hiten's diligence and dedication to our office:

Hey Everyone,

It was brought to my attention that someone is missing a glass heart shape container with the name 'Shanice' on it. I have it on my desk, and would love to return it to its owner. I'm located in the cubical between Brett and Jack. Thank you for your time.

Thank you,

Hiten.

Oh sigh...interns like this only come around once every few years or so...

Re: Secret Santa/Secret Dreidel

Everyone!

We will be doing Secret Santa/Secret Dreidel! Let's try not to spoil the fun, so keep secret who you'll be shopping for this year. The maximum is $15, so please stay within that...give or take a nickel or two!

We will be having a holiday breakfast on Thursday December 20th, and at that time we will reveal our Secret Santa/Secret Dreidel selves and exchange our little holiday treats! I've suggested a catered breakfast by Balthazar, but let's not hold our breaths that this will be approved...no sense in passing out from lack of oxygen during the holiday season, right? Haha...I made a funny on a Thursday.

Anywho...if you were out today, please come by my desk to pick your Secret Santa/Secret Dreidel out of the bag - Thanks!

Mandy.
