“His cardiologist

just died.”

—Aaron Webster

An esteemed colleague

told me he hard-boils

eggs in the morning,

uses them as pocket

warmers, and then

has them as a little

mid-morning snack

when he gets to work.

Truly, the line be-

tween genius and

madness is very thin.

A musician friend is

always upbeat. But

when she developed

ringing in one ear,

I was concerned it

might overwhelm

even her.

When I asked whe-

ther her condition was

especially annoying to

a musician, she shook

her head.

“Not really,” she

said cheerfully. “The

ringing sound is in

the key of B flat, so

I use it to tune my

cello half a tone lower.”

THE 8 PEOPLE YOU

WILL MEET AT WORK

(AND THE JOKES THAT

EXPLAIN THEM)

the lazy guy

My boss told me to

have a good day.

So I went home.

— @JokeAuthority

the helpful colleague

The ‘high-priority’ email

notification loses a bit of

its meaning when used to

announce leftover birth-

day cake every week.

—meetingboy.com

the grazer

Adorable idea.

Colleagues have been

writing names on their

food in the office fridge.

I am currently eating a

yogurt called Debbie.

— @FussySaffa

the complainer

Oh, you hate your job?

Why didn’t you say so?

There’s a support group

for that. It’s called

EVERYBODY, and

they meet at the bar.

—Drew Carey,comedian

the outsider

It’s weird how many

people at my office

are named ‘Hey’.

— @PinkCamoTO

the perky one

Is there ever such a

thing as too much coffee?

I’m about to find out.

— @aalexandru12

the annoying guy

I wonder how many

consecutive Mondays

Todd will respond “Not

long enough” in regard

to how his weekend

was. We’re at seven.

— @melowens

the suck-up

Our boss just banned

overly specific nicknames,

and the whole office is

staring at Rat Snitch Brian

the Good Time Ruiner.
