I just wanted to say that Welsh's paper clips need to be returned to my desk, immediately. As well as the furniture, the stationery, and the AK47, for Welsh has signed them over to me.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Geez. Didn't we go through all of this drama already?

Look. Sidestreamer announced their leaving of the UN before announcing any plans of what to do with their office. Now, you come showing up and expecting something that doesn't belong to you due to rights of salvage. And paperclips are not worth it.

Just do what most of us do: Either wait in line for an office and steal the first open one, or build your own if you have the money. Just don't add on to the top of the UN building, as then your office will be crashed into by satellites orbiting Earth.

I would like to offer Sidestream an office in the former office of HotRodia. It's located in a bunker under the UN parking lot and is remains uninhabited because we chose to take a better office rather than settling for the old one. There's not much in the way of a view, but there should be sufficient space.

Uh, before they take that office, I need to remove certain bioweapons from storage there and let the valets know they can no longer use it as a waypoint for their illegal slave trading ring.

We have taken your demand under consideration, and, well, we've rejected it. Sidestreamer no longer owns the offices or anything in them, and cannot thus write them over to you anymore. The office space is our rumpus room now (we've just installed a sauna, and we welcome you all to come try it out), and the office inventory has been either sold or donated to charities.

"You snooze, you lose," is a saying we have. You'd do best to accept Texan Hotrodders' offer before the saying comes to apply to you as well.

If you want the paper clips back, you'll have to take it up with the Secretariat (ie Hack). I wouldn't count on them being returned.

Uh, we would like to advise the Sidestream delegate to not touch the fungus growing on the back wall. It turns out to be one of our experiments with alternate laws of physics that got out of control. It tends to eat whatever touches it.

Ummm... hey, quick question? Can the Saint Urielian delegation just telecommute to the UN? You know, just get a nice video phone conference link going? You see, our islands are extremely nice this time of year and well, the UN building is a little creepy. Plus it kinda smells..... funny.... there. Please let us know - thanks.

Cobdenia's old office is still available. To find it, you have to climb out through the Ennish delegates window when he's not looking, shimmy along a narrow ledge, climb up a floor and shimmy back again until you find a ledge slightly larger then usual. There should be a place to fasten a harness; and I think we left you a swivel chair and a hatstand...

Just make sure you don't wear any billowing clothes. We lost two of our delegates because of that...

Sorry. We've tried four times to pass that resolution, and it has failed each and every time. We'll happily try again, though.

Believe me if we could, I wouldn't be down in the boiler room on basement level 3.

Bahgum, has decided that all those stairs ain't worth it and has set up shop in the strangers bar...just wish the thing was stickied...it's hard when you've had a few and your 'office' keeps moving....

WHAT?!?!?! THERE IS A BUILDING FOR THE NSUN DELEGATES????

wow, I'm a bit slow. ;)

PS can i have that fungas that is growing in the office that belonged to DLE? I could use it for the new research center :D

The second cubicle to the right in the gents toilets of the Strangers Bar has now been freed as we have found an uber secret location on the 341st floor of the UN Building with nice views. We are leaving the Brolly stand and the brolly as someone innebrieated was confused and used it as a toilet brush.

Wow, I have problems...

This again?

Oh, sorry. You forgot to dot this "i" in the middle of paragraph three. Application denied. And don't go trying to put the dot there now and resubmit it - we have ways of rooting out such underhanded tactics.

Wait, you can't telecommute?


Oh darn....um, I need to catch a flight....eep.

Is not an old DLE office. It's the old HotRodia office, which has illegally been used for illegal acitivities up until this point.

Feel free to take as much as you like.

Considering what occured in that particliar cubicle between VL relinquishing it and your claiming it, you're more that welcome to it. You may want to clean it before moving in though.

Take our advice: it's infinitely more efficient to simply hail one of the cabs at the stand oustide the Headquarters and set up shop it its back seat. First, you can get to lunch faster. Second, you avoid the results of DLE's spacetime experiments. Third, you force DLE to hire a cab and run you down if he wants to set you on fire. Fourth, if DLE wants to steal your office, he's going to have to answer to one of the city's cab companies, and even DLE doesn't want to risk their wrath (isn't it interesting that DLE figures so prominently in these decisions?).

True, after you've paid the meter for the day and tipped the driver, you'll have run up a pretty high tab (those guys and gals may be easy, but they ain't cheap). But you did pad your expense account before you came out here, didn't you?

It's that, or hang out in the lounge.

We cannot help it that our delegation has, despite orders to contrary, continued their experiments with alternate laws of physics and has, as a side-effect we are still trying to eliminate, gone completely insane.

If you happen to have a cure for, as our ancestors put it, "batshit loco," then we would be glad to get ahold of such. As it is, we felt that exiling them to the UN would put them in a situation where they would be forced towards caution.

Otherwise, your advice is actually pretty damned good.

We've found that keeping badgers as pets reduces the incidence of "batshit loco" -- or at least makes it harder to tell -- one needs a certain level of eccentricity to keep badgers, but then, if you go too far into the crazy zone, the badgers will kill you in your sleep, thus curing the madness. It's an extreme cure, to be sure.
