Arnaud comes to the show and elevates the discourse - while making fun of the bad guys. win/win.

there's a "library holds" or "library holds coming in" joke here but I'm too lazy to make it. also, is this available via Libby so that I can experience it without leaving home?

Jun 8th 1998 - Peter Gibbons had a bad case of the Mondays and gets reminded about the new cover sheets on the TPS reports. Michael Bolton (not that one) tells the guys he could write a virus to rip off the company. 📽️📅 Office Space (1999)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Office Space" (1999): First, a close-up of a wristwatch showing the date as Monday the 8th. Second, a man in an office shirt stands beside a woman who comments, "Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays." Third, a bespectacled man with suspenders leans on a cubicle wall and says, "Yeah, you apparently didn't put one of the new cover sheets on your T.P.S. reports."

I don't know anything about you - but here's a grand idea. GET THE FUCK OUT. Stop being a performative assflute and leave. Don't cry about it - don't make a spectacle of yourself - just leave. That's what a person with a modicum of self-respect would do. Grandstanding MC-energy bullshit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
