*Cue "Great Escape" theme music*

[connielane]

After one of my cube-mates asked the group "why is it only 10:45?" this morning, the entire population of Happyville (our little land of cubicles consisting of myself, the Singles Ministry Assistant, the Student Ministry Assistant, and the Outreach/Records Assistant) staged a Starbucks breakout. We synchronized our watches and left seperately, met up at one of our cars, and burned rubber out of the covered parking lot. Caring not that our voice mails would be overflowing, people wanting us to do stuff would be hovering over our cubes, and the building might even burn down in the 20 minutes it would take us to get our frappucinos and come back, we sped down Broadway and almost ran over some Vanderbilt student on our way into the Starbucks parking lot (never get between a working woman and her tall caramel frap).

When we got back, our driver dropped us off at different places around the building, so that we could arrive back at the office at different times and hopefully avoid the watchful eye of the receptionist at the front desk.

Sadly, that is the most exciting thing that has happened either at work or on the debate front today. But I'd like to congratulate bohemianvixen on sticking it to a certain H/Her about the very un-Britishness of pumpkin pie.
