Office humour

When it's friday night, and you're working till 11 at night, any form of humour is welcome.

And humour took it's funniest form today. A member of the newsroom is leaving today and here are some messages from our system which went round.

Serena was leaving (oh no, so fast?), and she planned an office treat for all of us...

At 1728 hours:

serena, we hope new york is good
but 5:29 and still no food
why leave us all in a bad mood?
(REPORTERS, K,)

At 1741 hours:

Goodbye, Serena dear,
We'll miss you around here,
The very best we all wish you,
& remember us while at NYU.
(BT, R,)

At 1922 hours:

here's another BT poet:
- rose r red, violets r blue
i missed my makan, what about u?
(BT, Q,)

At 1924 hours:

friday night you're writing a rhyme
how come you got so much time?
(CHAIRMAN, 30jul04 19:24)

(fyi, makan is a malay word when translated into English means food.)

finally, when the chairman asked why we had so much time, the poems stopped.
such a shame.
I am contemplating visions of a business newsroom turned poems publishing house...
