Philip Marlowe did it. Of course, one way or another he ended up unconscious once a week, so there are reasons it's not "What would Marlowe do?"

I don't even understand the purpose of updating your vm every day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I need to start keeping a bottle of whiskey in my office for this.
Jesus, yes. A bit of on the job self-medication would not be overdoing it in this situation.
The guy whose document I'm rewriting has been updating his OGM every day for months now. This is part and parcel of why he'd been making me feel inadequate.

So they know we're alive? No, I think if you're not outward facing it's not a wise use of time.

So someone knows the messages are going somewhere? In theory if you're updating the VM you're also (a) there or not and (b) listening to your messages? But I'm terrible about updating VM...but everyone has my cell too, and can call that.

We used to have to do that at my old job. "This is Brenda, it is Thursday whatever whatever and I am/am not in the office today...."

That would be super annoying. But I pretty much answer the phone.
So, I discovered why it was so much hotter with my student in the office. She turned the fan away from me and toward her.
Am I wrong in thinking that is rude. I mean, wouldn't you say something like "So you mind if I move this so that we are both benefiting from the fan?"

So, if you have a nice phone call with the Branch Chief at the office you've applied for a job at, and she says she'll call your current Branch Chief, and your current Branch Chief comes in 2 hours later and says you should be hearing from HR within the week, and shakes your hand in a most positive fashion, that's good, right?
This is the mr. flea job in Cincinnati he didn't initially make the interview pool cut.
