Only government lawyers can do that. We'd never be allowed to sneak bottles into our desks. That's why we only have blow at work.
Just got asked if I could help out with an "urgent need" in Turks and Caicos Islands.
Yea... yea I think I could handle that

I have one bottle of wine sitting on my desk (that's the only etoh in my office). It was a gift from a California couple I represented who adopted a baby that was born in Iowa. It has not been opened.
Now, back at the old location, before we moved a couple years ago, there was a closet that had some old assorted bottles of stuff including scotch and vodka. Those HAD been opened, but not by this guy.
No. They had a teenage cousin who impregnated a girl who wanted to have the baby and then place it for adoption. They had been looking to adopt for years, waiting for a chance, and VOILA!
Also, though I consider you a great friend/cyber-friend, let's not talk about our gametes.
MrsWx loved crispitos in school lunches. I have always thought they scooped up I thought they looked like dead squirrel wrapped in something.
So you had your secretary open them so you could drink them? That'll work.

Just sent out my class's weekly quiz. I realized ahead of time that this one would be really easy to cheat on, so I sent plenty of warnings that can be ignored. With 21 students, and they've been good, but that happens, I'm guessing that I find 4 that disregarded my warnings.
Out of school for a while, how do you monitor cheating on a on line quiz? Do they log back on after looking up the answers?

I post it on Blackboard. They write out or type out their answer and turn it in at class.
They have a program that traces cheating for Blackboard, but it can get a little wonky.
This is just a short ID thing, like give the basic info about a given person/place/event. It's the same thing where I caught my first wave of people cheating with a take-home exam. This one will tell me whether I ever try it again.
For example, if they go to Wiki and copy/paste a whole bunch about Constantine, that would be bad. They can do it from their notes and textbook. I took the time and space to explain some proper citations, when to cite, and how to avoid this trouble in the first place. That included sort of a subtle hint for a couple students to get to class.
But if they submitted online, it would be easy to find. I'd read their answer, look at wiki, the History Channel, and some other places, and it pops up fast.
So this Turks and Caicos thing might be a crapshoot from the start. They apparently need a copy of my local police report. I filled out the request for Dallas and it may take up to 30 business days to process.
**** off. How in the world does it take that long?
Also did it for the county and state which seem to have faster timelines but that's atrocious.

Unrelated are you, Rev and Z going to Hilton Madness tonight?
We had something called a pizza boat...think crappy pizza rectangle but on french bread. There were some guys that figured out the number of napkins to soak up the grease on it for optimal taste. (I believe the number was 14. Lots of grease + sub-par napkins)
Nope. No drinking at work. Bad idea.
We had this $hit called "Mexican straw hats". Basically a bed (!!!!!) of greasy ground beef, then Fritos dumped on top with some shredded cheese and taco sauce. I mean, the idea was OK, but the actual presentation left a lot to be desired.
This might be a good Friday OT idea for @Angie. Favorite school lunch items......
