Black Thursday

"sometimes, I just don't know why I even get out of bed." that is a now infamous quote by a friend, RM. but today, might be the day to use it. a terrible tragedy occurred this morning around 7:11 am. it has rocked the community and puzzled so many. i am still in shock and what i saw and heard. these kinds of events shape, mold, and maintain history. but, they also make us tremble and shake. i ignored my wife's warning to me last night, "maybe you should use a box.." i hate to use the over-used phrase, "women are always right." however, in this dark moment, i must say that she was right. i was only 4 sets of cubicles from my office, when i saw and heard a member of our family take a terrible spill. micheal scott, aka, the world's best boss...slipped out of my laptop bag, and onto the floor. they say 1 out of 4 bobble heads never make it to their final destination, and 2 out of 15 bobble heads don't make it to the office. anyways, the BH is now in ICU on my desk awaiting some crazy glue. it's moments like these when you just try to remember the good times, and not take for granted phrases from the past. In memory, I have listed some of my favorite quotes from MS...RIP(unless I find some crazy glue to fix him).

• That's what she said.
  
• It's simply beyond words. It's incalculable.
• You'll notice I didn't have anybody being Arab. I thought that would be too explosive...no pun intended. But I just thought, 'too soon' for Arabs. Maybe next year. The ball's in their court.
• I think if I was allergic to dairy I'd kill myself.
• I will use your talents come baseball season, my friend. Or if we box.
• Starbucks. Oh man, that place is like the promised land!
• Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
• When I said that I was king of forwards, you got to understand that I don't come up with this stuff. I just forward it along. You wouldn't arrest a guy who was just passing drugs from one guy to another.
• I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.
• Yes, I was the first one out. And yes, I’ve heard "women and children first". But, we do not employ children. We are not a sweatshop, thankfully. And women are equal in the workplace by law. So if I let them out first, I have a lawsuit on my hands.
• Awesome Blosom, extra awesome.
• I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon. Sue me. And since I don't have a butler I have to do it myself... so, most nights before I go to bed I will lay out 6 strips of bacon out on my foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again, then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's a perfect way to start the day. Today I got up, I stepped on to the grill and it clamped on to my foot. That's it. I don't see what's so hard to believe about that.
• OK, well, Dwight, just know that I've been very busy today, and I've got a lot of work to do, and I wasn't planning on going to the bathroom, and I don't even know if anything's going to come out.
• Ok. Well, did you get the second e-mail that I sent? Explaining that the first e-mail was a mistake and that you should delete it...

There are so many more...but who can really just name one?

(That's what she said)
