Reminds me of the time I called off of work and since I had used up all of my sick days I just called and told them I was dead.
They didn't buy it.
That's a pet peeve of mine. Why do people feel like they need to tell work why they're not going to be in? I just say, "I'm not gonna be in today/tomorrow/this day in a month." No need to tell them why. None of their business.
I'm a really big fan of kobolds. I've been longing for a vicious, nasty kobold avatar pretty much since the day I started. This was the first one that fit the bill nicely that wasn't already in use.Hmm. An accountant who's also a kobold fan... A particular webcomic springs to mind here, here, here and here.
Neat! I'd never seen those before. Thank you!

Because we're secretly judging your reason to see if you're a terrible person. And if you don't give us a reason, we make one up. Last time you weren't here it was because you got your head stuck inside an elephant. ("Boy it sure is dark in here!" were I think your exact words.)

Er..I normally don't post in the non game related threads but this has too much bearing on a daily activity in my workplace. Please to note I work in an engineering firm and share a secretary with about 20 other folks. One day said secretary called in sick and gave a very through and graphic description of exactly why she was calling in sick and left the voice mail (from 3am no less) on the phones of every engineer in the group. We have never inquired nor given reasons for sick days since.

I'm willing to bet, in Cosmo's case at least, the made-up reasons are far less interesting than the real ones.

Why pony request? Are we all riding Sebastian?
That is highly inappropriate and disturbing.
Plus the thought of the pony all lathered up in sweat and oil just makes me want to get the brain bleach.

Helpful tip: You can substitute tequila, whiskey or gin for the bleach. The downside is you have to use more, but the good side is that you can apply it to your mouth instead, so no nasty incisions.

A late congrats to the Customer Carebear.
Sounds a lot like the office I work at.:D

That was in no way an exhaustive list. Just guidelines. Consult your life GM.

It will be either a half-protean or half-fiend with exposure to chaos and evil happening all the time in Paizo ofice.

It sounds like the office I would gladly work at :(

That. Or a TIMELORD.

Well, I dunno if you'd want my position though. I'm technically the design intern, but really that means that when all hell breaks loose I'm the guy that gets to work on the machines in shop (We're a small/medium biz IT shop and Web Design studio). On the plus side, I get work from my dorm during the school year.
I'm not exactly the brightest bulb in the box, so I get plenty of ribbing, but still, my boss is awesome.
sorry, for the hi-jack, please, let the Paizo wackiness continue.

Damnit now I want some frosting covered sugar cookies.
crystal: My decision-making process for getting dressed this morning was: Am I wearing pants?
This needs to be on a plaque above my closet -- in part to avoid the daily "what should I wear" conundrum, but mostly to be sure I'm actually wearing pants before exiting the house.

crystal: Is it against our contracts to set fellow employees on fire?
lissa: It's at the very least frowned upon.
liz: At the very least, the fire marshall would not approve
ross: Who is being set on fire?
crystal: Just reviewing my options in general
blue chris: I believe if the fire is set in the parking lot, the fire marshal would be ok

You could... set the building on fire.
^ Cosmo looks different.
Cosmo's new avatar is a spiritual mirror; what you see is a reflection of your own soul. His avatar looks like an Eva Widermann-drawn Ceiling Cat to me.
Ambrosia Slaad looks different too
Hey, someone noticed... I just had my hair done. {twirls snake around finger}
