Immediately written up for staying clocked in over the weekend.

"Unless overtime was approved in advance, you died on your own time. No exceptions."

"Hey, I know you're dead, but we're going to need you to come in over the weekend and work on a few things."

The funeral will need to be here, as you have already exceeded your allotment of work from home days.

File a union grievance if you want.

Someone probably already claimed their red stapler.

Building services initially dismissed odor complaints as “A case of the Mondays.”

Who knew Wells Fargo had a dead line?

"You want us to pay for the rescue? You're the one who stayed out in the woods when everyone else got back in time for yoga and chardonnay."

I don’t have many goals or ambitions anymore, but one of them is not to spend my last moments in an abandoned newsroom on Sunday laying out pages.

Especially this Sunday — no one would find my rotting corpse until Tuesday.

Other than the newsroom rodents, of course.

I remember delivering pizza in the Blizzard of ‘96 when the whole city of Philadelphia ended up being shut down in the middle of our dinner shift.

I left on a delivery and my car didn’t even make it out of the parking lot. I walked back to the store and the boss decided to close. But, at that point, the trains had stopped and the roads had been closed, so a bunch of us decided to have a slumber party in the restaurant.

It was one of the funnest nights of my life. Like the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Was it a Penthouse Letters type of night?

"Big deal, he was only stranded for 1 Sol."

For some (not me, unfortunately ).

"No one ever died wishing they'd spent more time at work."
I'm guessing this woman died wishing someone had spent more time at work, so maybe they'd have found her.

“You couldn’t keep up with your colleagues on the hike? Poor communication on your part. This was supposed to be a collaborative experience. Looks like you’re not a team player.”

So how does it work if that guy doesn’t get a giant settlement and has to go back to the office? 8 am staff meeting gonna be a little more tense than usual.

Unfortunately, the search and rescue team was a victim of restructuring.
