The review began something like this.
Tom Cruise sliding down a rope, stopping inches away from a nasty landing... Check
Enough masks, disguises and costumes to stock a fancy dress shop... Check
The famous line: "This message will self-destruct in five seconds"... Check
Close-ups of Cruise looking hot... Check
Double crosses and triple crosses... Check
So I prepare this copy for the reviews page and send it to press, ready to be printed over the weekend for the Monday edition of the paper. On Sunday evening I find a voicemail on my mobile phone from the overnight editor asking me to call him urgently. Later I find three messages of increasing anxiety on my answerphone at home as well. I ring in.
Ed: "There's something wrong with your reviews page. It's not been finished."Me: "Really? I thought everything had been done, the page was proofed and actually we ran that copy in the week in our other editions."Ed: "No, there's all this work that's been left undone on it."Me: "Like what?"Ed: "It says 'check' everywhere, you've got all these facts you need to check in the copy."Me: "Ah..."

His last words were “what am I to do now?”

What about co-workers who contantly say "That is sooooooo funny" rather than LAUGHING?

People who do that need to be slapped in the face. Over and over again.
I just went out in the rain to get a new desk chair, and the place WAS MOVING so they had about 5 chairs out. Now I look like a wet dog and my co-workers are laughing at my misfortune. Fuck all y'all.

Seriously, my dear, how have you not decked this dude, though? That makes me think of David Goben (that's right, fucker, google yourself. PS you also had bad, bad breath and also Patrick caught you snooping through people's trash to find shit on them).

Well, that makes all the difference. The point of the inbox is for ppl to put work there. Putting it elsewhere sez "You are an ass who never sees the inbox 10 inches from his face" or "My document is the most important, and I'm too busy to put a Post-It on it."
