Leftover Chinese Changes His Mind About This Month's Gimmick

Borrowing an idea from Brooke, I will impart some of the wisdom shared between me and my friends through the cursed medium of Instant Messaging.

"IMing" as they call it is as productive as it is a waste of time. It's good if you want to communicate plans or ideas as fast as you can. Not so good when you're trying to work out a disagreement, or lengthy discussion as to why the Milwaukee Bucks aren't good. You spend more time crossing signals and getting much less accomplished as a result.

Let's kick of INSTANT HILARITY MONTH (some exchanges paraphrased for clarity) with an observation about the "new employee."

- Leftover Chinese: so if there's this new [attractive woman] at the office and it's the first week of her job and you see flowers at her desk...does that mean [she has a] boyfriend?
- Friend: yeah, and he's trying to put everyone in the office on notice to back off,
- Leftover Chinese: haha. classic. and so true
- Friend: yeah, he is not sending them for her benefit.

Word to the wise, my friends. Flowers aren't for her benefit when they're delivered to the office.
