“Got a big day ahead of me, several things to do. Got to keep on top of my life, got to keep on top of my life. I have seven things to do. Number one: Banking. Number two: Pick up dry cleaning. Okay, ya just knocked over an old lady, keep moving, ya got seven things to do.”
I don’t know, guys, I threw up at the gym yesterday (not, lest you be impressed, from EXTREME WORKING OUT; I just was feeling weird and then I threw up and now I’m on the couch), I don’t have a lot to say about this. It’s very funny. Meet me halfway today, will you? Share interesting things in the comments, show a little initiative.

Sorry you’re sick, Mallory! Try to nibble on some crackers and maybe drink some flat ginger ale, if you have it.
I read recently that it is better to schedule things in an hourly calendar thing, than to make a list. It seems like a good idea, but you’d still have to sit down and decide on your schedule. Like, 9:30, time to go to the grocery store! Now it’s 10:30, time to make those phone calls! That seems like a lot of pressure. Maybe it would get easier if you got in the habit, but for now, I’ll stick with the to do list.
Also, Kevin just went up 30 percentage points due to his little smile and hand gesture when he introduced this clip.
I try to do that every now and then but it does put more pressure on me than a regular list. If I’ve allotted myself 1 hour to perform a task, and I’m not finished by the time the hour’s up, what do I do? Leaving the task uncompleted is obviously not ideal, but if I take the extra time to finish it then it throws off the rest of my schedule. That leads to another problem – do I remove the extra time I needed for task A from the time I gave myself for task B or do I shift the whole schedule down? What was the point of making a schedule in the first place?
First you threw up, now you’ve chosen a sketch prominently featuring Kevin (and called it “very funny,” no less) – Mallory, I’m afraid you must be very ill.
Also, Dave does a very nice Hot-Headed Idiot Gangster. Is that a New Jersey accent? I’m not sure, but it sounds very menacing, and also very much like he dropped out of the 9th grade to join the family crime syndicate.
The cut at 1:59 to Kevin and the dry cleaner wordlessly tugging on the pants is my favorite part of that whole sketch. Who knows how long they’ve been there locked in combat, making furious eye contact but only barely putting any physical effort into actually winning. I know it’s just an establishing shot but there’s something vaguely alien about it that I really love.
At school I had a friend who would always throw up when she’d finished a race during sports day or whatever. I have never exercised hard enough to throw up.
I am on the couch though, where I’ve been more or less for the last three weeks thanks to a massive asthma flareup that has left me more or less unable to do anything that involves my lungs working harder than sitting still and being quiet. BOOOOOOOORED.
Last night my cat accidentally set his tail on fire. He didn’t even notice, but BOY did it stink up the apartment and I ALMOST threw up.
That is all.
So, the upside to one of your bosses being arrested is that it helps make sure you never run out of things to do at work, particularly if the police took the company server, on which is housed the accounting software and .pdfs of all the pricing guides.
Somehow, I have not thrown up yet, and I have no idea how I’ve managed that. Today we have a team meeting to discuss how we’re all going to step up and keep the company going in the face of unrelenting bullshit.
