It’s Friday afternoon, Outlook isn’t working, but I’m going to stay in the office working diligently on non-email related work till my normal finishing time. There is no way I would use this as an excuse to slack off and go home early. ---

In 2024, I ran for mayor of Guan and won, only to find out that there’s no such office. When I tried to show up for work on my first day, some little kids pointed at me and laughed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lie-about-yourself/987965.md?page=51)
