I am envious! I haven’t had a job in more than 10 years in a building where the windows can be opened.

Just for the record, this is intended purely in good fun. I just couldn’t get over the coincidence factor - the link landed in my email yesterday - and had to share.

Selecting ‘A little song for you’ under the pre-recorded audio options gives us the perfect theme song for the thread. 😃

Awwwwwwww a chimp in a suit. 🙂

I’m sure many in this thread will be saving him. I shall rejoice in my opening-window workplace and my one squirt.

Add one more gripe.

I’m sitting in my local Panera, enjoying my fourth cup of coffee, and the guy behind me is sending whiffs of awful cologne my way. Not a good way to start a morning.
