#456 - Bother
Sometimes I think the hardest part of my day job is the constant interruptions. The phone calls and emails are easy to ignore when needed. But people like to just walk into my cubicle and sit next to me. It takes awhile to get back in the groove of a project when interrupted like that. Maybe I need to get a less comfortable guest chair.

Oh no, did he install crocodiles as well?
March 4th, 2008 at 12:16 am
That moat is like Windows XP. That moat with crocodiles is like windows Vista. I hope he didn’t install Vist…I mean, crocodiles.
March 4th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Piranha would work finely as well =p
March 4th, 2008 at 12:34 am
Or just remove said chair entirely.
March 4th, 2008 at 2:08 am
i’d be surprised if biff hasn’t put an electric charge through it.
March 4th, 2008 at 3:38 am
i suggest embedding needles in the chair
March 4th, 2008 at 4:25 am
I second pieman’s suggestion. The removal of the guest chair would mean that the guest would have to stand. The longer he stays, the longer he stands. Not very comfortable if you ask me.
March 4th, 2008 at 4:48 am
That moat is nowhere NEAR big enough.
And it definitely needs crocodiles.
March 4th, 2008 at 7:15 am
I’m kind of wanting to know why Biff needs a moat.
Also…I’m guessing the theme for this week is Biff’s job.
March 4th, 2008 at 7:20 am
Good lord, I could use one of those at my job!
I like Pieman’s idea, but Biff should add electrtic eels for better effect.
Same effect, more creepy.

You could just leave stuff stacked in the chair, like a briefcase or something. Then when someone comes in and you want to talk to them, you say “excuse me let me move that for you” and if you don’t, then…
March 4th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Another good way to get people to leave you alone is to be random and weird. They often just smile and nod when I’m around.
March 4th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Ah!
It’s Business Efficiency week! Fast travel, keeping annoying cow-orkers at bay…
I could use that moat…
March 4th, 2008 at 9:29 am
you could always attach a biff invention to your guest chair someone sits down and it eather A. launches them out of your cubical or B. an rather large hammer swings down from the roof and kicks then out of the building
March 4th, 2008 at 9:34 am
I need one of these around my PC. Not to keep people out, but to help me concentrate!
And fill it with sharks with laser beams mounted on their heads
The Duck Has Spoken.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:55 am
so I guess it should be inferred that Biff works on the ground floor…
March 4th, 2008 at 11:06 am
I’d like to have a dummy desk and
a body double. Then I can get a
paycheck, and not even be here.
March 4th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Hmm, I wonder if Biff’s other co-workers will get jealous and have their own moats!
March 4th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Get a chair like Biff’s As Seen On TV Pillow.
March 4th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
By cubicle you mean lush, posh office right? I can’t imagine a cubicle having much space for two chairs.

You have no clearance to make such an inferrence! It has been shown that biff is crazy enough to fill the entire lower floor with water.

@Adam222 - Nice!
March 4th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I think I see what the theme for this week will be
Medieval FTW!
March 4th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I’d just go swimming if I had a moat.
Then again, at the university my moat would probably be filled with female psychology students in their bathing suits. (Psychology students are mostly female.)
March 4th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Did I mention that I LOVE studying psychology?
March 4th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Simple solution: Saw two inches off of the front legs of the “guest” chair. I *guarantee* that people won’t bother you after a few sessions in your cubicle…
March 4th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
The theme this week is office week or something like that right?
March 4th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
try the Vista Chair Tim Buckley draw in Ctrl+Alt+Del hehe
oh, they won’t visit you anymore, mark my words
March 4th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
I like the fact that Biff’s computer does not appear to be plugged into anything, unless it’s all under the table. Sure, he keeps visitors away, and if he could get work done he’d be making great efficiency!
March 5th, 2008 at 7:00 am
Some days, I need that…
March 5th, 2008 at 11:38 am
When Biff’s not throwing pencils into the ceiling, he’s making a moat around his desk…

Trivia bit: As moats were used for the medieval castle’s sewage system, I think large, carnivorous reptiles would be unnecessary to keep out most intruders.
If not for the thought that the nearby villages would have similar lack of sanitation measures, the moat would probably keep me a good 1/4 mile (is that .4 km?) away from the castle. (darn my sometimes-hypersensitive sense of smell.) The moat is an inside-out outhouse! >_< Now what do we use for disinfectant/deodorizer? The fumes are affecting my ability to think clearly (@.@)
June 7th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Judging from the image you just gave me of a moat, all you need to do for a deodorizer is burn incenses…or maybe hair…
