ita, you need to shoot New Guy with a GPS tracker thingie, and then develop a web-based application so we can all track his movements through our computers.
Maybe a website like isitsaturday.net but IsNewGuyLateForHisMeeting.com
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
He should not have a job, or at least not this one. Why he offends me so much I am not sure.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What does "walking leg kick" have in it that means you don't?
Oh, it doesn't, really. Hec said it was just as imprecise. Maybe it emphasizes the leg over the foot?
He should not have a job, or at least not this one. Why he offends me so much I am not sure.
Because people who actually would show up on time for things don't have jobs.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They don't know, although they must have noticed him coming late to the meetings they call.
And have they noticed the crazy long lunches?

Smallish work rant:
I'm pretty sure it takes some time to put up a billboard in Times Square. So why am I getting a request just today for a landing page that will need to be created and sent to dev early next week because the billboard features that URL "prominently" and goes up the week after.
When they were planning the billboard, did they not think a little heads up would've been good?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He works crazy long other hours, so I don't think he's going to get dinged on that. But the meeting thing? It's 18 past the hour, and he's not twitching towards the meeting room yet. I'm torn. I don't particularly want or need this meeting. It's all about him staying on top of things. But my life will go easier if he knows what's going on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The walking kicks make me think of Cossack dancers shouting "Hey! Hey! Hey!" Or possibly the Addams Family.

So...I asked him about the meeting and he muttered something about having a 10:30 and why don't we meet after lunch instead (our meeting was only half an hour, not far away). And I made him formally reschedule, which he didn't plan to do. But I have other things I can parcel my afternoon out on, and those people actually show up.

Our wings are not tired.
ita, that is completely unacceptable and ridiculous. Someone needs to tell him that it's extremely inconvenient for everyone else when he pulls this shit.
I miss the West Wing; well, I miss all of the seasons before Peggy, er, Zoe, got kidnapped.
I like going to the movies by myself, but not at night and not a Friday night. I kinda hate people is the thing.
My sistah!! MOMA sounds great though.
