"Working" from home

I have a rather crucial report due tomorrow. A big trial with all sorts of ramifications. Apparently all the higher ups are looking at it with great concern. I've been advised that if we do well, "The Board" will look favorably upon us. When my direct supervisor and I heard this during a conference call Friday afternoon we looked at each other with raised eyebrows. As far as we know, we don't have a board. I think at best we could try to turn a good result into designated parking spaces. The supervisor is trying to think of a way a soft-serve ice cream machine is crucial to the outcome of the trial. Good luck on that one.

Naturally, I am working from home today to ensure that I can get this report done without any unnecessary interruptions. The fact that the US is playiong in The World Cup this faternoon is mere conincidence I assure you. Incidentally those fuckers are getting thoroughly outplayed by the Czechs and are down 2-0 at the half. Not that I'm watching. I'm working from home today.
