I want to. Anyone with me?

No, but I am claiming your secretary. And your stapler. Haven't had a good stapler in my office since the nation restart.

The chair is mine. Mine won't spin around anymore, and one of the wheels is sticky.

And your stapler. Haven't had a good stapler in my office since the nation restart.

"...and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire..."

Heh. I enjoy laughing at that.

I did manage to secure one of the top-floor offices. Incidentally, the UN building suddenly became one floor taller the day I was accepted back...

:D

I'm claiming the office, and moving all my stuff in there. Apparently, during my absence, the Ennish delegation got moved into the broom closet. We want an office back!

That's okay. I want the pens and white-out. Those damn Gnomes keep filtching mine. Ya know, I'd keep my office supplies if you people would just change your own damn laws...

*swipes the lamps and rubs them vigorously*

...You never know...




:D

Come now youngling, you've made one post and joined this month. Don't want to be known as a quitter do you? "Look!" people will say, "there's that quitter from Ancient Revan." and someone else will say "I hear they're all quitters those Ancient Revan's." and y'know what'll happen then? The phrase "Doing an Ancient Revan." will take a hold in common terminology.

That isn't how you'd want to be remember here is it?

Office? I can only dream of having my own office. I'm renting service ducts from the rats...

Deputy Speaker to the UN

I had no idea you were all so strapped for cash and amenities. Paupers!

Office? I can only dream of having my own office. I'm renting service ducts from the rats...
Service duct? There were 143 of us living in a paper bag in tha' middle of the road!

Sure, you guys take all the good stuff before I even get here.:mad:

Thats a luxury we can only dream about. I'm stuck out in the middle of the car park. My office furniture consists of a toxic waste barrel and an old milk crate :D:D.

Seriously now. Ancient Revan, why do you want to quit?
If its because you're upset with the way the UN is heading then quitting won't change anything. I know there are quite a few people who don't like the UNs liberal/leftist leanings but unless they stay in the UN, rally together and force change, nothing will happen. Words and running away won't help, actions will :).

I've already resigned from the UN twice, so no thanks. :)

At least you get daylight, I'm stuck down in the boiler room in sub-basement 3 with a light bulb that doesn't work half the time.

Perhaps I moved too quickly in taking that office - it's even smaller than the closet. I've had to ship the desk back to Enn, and the filing cabinets will have to go into long-term storage. Ah well, at least there's the UNOG complex in the basements.

Ah well, you get what you pay for...

~subtly applies more economic lubrication to the UN general staff~

~gets his water cooler refilled with thirty gallons of cherry limeaide~

Now, were we discussing an economic aid package to Enn? :D

Dicey Riley, back from her Findhornian mission, pats Ancient Revan consolingly and puts an arm round his/her shoulders. "There, there, dear, they're all just teasing you, I'm sure they won't take all your nice things -- will you, guys?" (glares quellingly at other delegates).

"Now you just come down to the Strangers' Bar with me and tell us all about it. Have you ever tasted an Ennish shandy? Myself, I rather like Bahgumian Blue, but you have to admit Ardchoille Old 'n' Funky is surely the cream of them all, especially if we can find some of that Vastivan cheese ..."

(Ardchoille has never bothered to demand office space. What's a bar for, after all?)

Bah, this wouldn't have happened had it not been for the damn dragons besieging the country. Stephanie would have stayed here to ensure her office remained her own, and we wouldn't have a bookcase sticking out into the hallway.

Don't glare at me, everything was already taken by the time I got here.

Well, we could grant you a long term loan on one of our secondary offices, maybe something nice on the eighth floor? Though we'll have to figure out somewhere else for the goldfish to live...

"Goldfish?" said Bast, languidly smoothing his whiskers with an immaculate paw. "Goldfish?"

~Ignores the look and leads the secretary, who is carrying the stapler, to the elevators that go up to the new top floor~

"Goldfish?" said Bast, languidly smoothing his whiskers with an immaculate paw. "Goldfish?"

"Of course. You don't think we'd leave such a dangerous animal where just anyone could find it, do you? We feed ex-delegate staff members to it if they're not claimed, it seems humanitarian...."

....And thus life in the greatest law making body the universe has ever seen, or will see, continues. :)

Humbling, isn't it?

A good arguement against Intelligent Design - This is the best "HE" could do???

It could simply be that "HE" has a very good sense of humor. :D

So, we're the punchline of a cosmic joke in bad taste... I could see that.

It would explain a great deal. :)

If this is a cosmic bad joke, what would make it the most horrible is to find out that rain results from leaky plumbing after "He" has used the toilet.

And here I was wondering where wind came from.... :p

I bet now you can't go outside in the rain without wondering if it's urine or water mixed with something else...

If the wind smells good, does that mean God invested in parsley that day?

No, it just means you've gotten used to the smell.

Hush now! You don't want to give them any ideas, do you!?! :D

I've found that the nomadic delegate lifestyle works out fairly well. There's plenty of hallway space, and plenty of rooms to 'borrow' when nobody is looking...

We seem to be passing ever more stupid and pointless proposals .

I'm thinking of ditching mine and I was a delegate; so I had one of those cool automatic staplers that scares the crap out of you when they staple you tie for falling in the sensor area. Oh and the chair was swivelly with evil dictator overtones. Think DLE would like that.

I've not done it yet so I expect to still have an office tomorrow......and no stealing my lightbulbs!

I had an office once. I left to go to the bathroom, and when I came back I found that a emu in a military uniform had claimed it as his own.

Now I have to conduct my business on the window ledge...

I always wondered what happened to the emu I used to keep as a pet. Be careful: I trained it how to use assault rifles in case of intruders.

Phew! That's a relief. I have long feared I was balancing perilously on my little ledge due to a bad acid trip...

Any chance of convincing him to let me back in?

*walking off carrying a case of light bulbs*
Too late.:D

Anyone for Southern Fried Emu? Oh, and there's a free office back yonder...
