It hasn’t been that long since things digressed via email like they did in subject:  field trip. This is an email conversation that’s been going on in the office today. It’s not Friday, but it IS the short week before a 3-day weekend. Names have been changed to protect the “innocent”…

j1: Hey Everyone -
I am going to be in and out of meetings and the office this afternoon.  There is supposed to be a carpet guy stopping by our office this afternoon.  If I am not here, can someone please instruct him to get the information he needs on the following tasks in order to send S an estimate:

• key him into the space next door and have him measure the new Das Iglu space only (no other floor in there).
• show him the current jagged edge on the carpet in the old Das Iglu near J’s desk and ask him to consider an option to put a rubber edge along the entrance to protect it and make it look better.
• ask him to give us a quote to patch the 3 small squares of carpet missing in the old Das Iglu (where the posts use to be).  Tell him we don’t need anything fancy there, just want it to not have the holes.

Thanks.

j2: Got it, Shag carpeting everywhere.

m1: White shag carpeting, specifically. And instruct the wall guy we want the “off brown oak-like pattern” fake-wood paneling on the walls.

j3: and maybe a gold marbled mirror on the ceiling?

m2: Tony Montana would be proud.

j4: I want bean bags and lots of other pillows.

j3: and a rain lamp – can we get a rain lamp? those were soooo groovy. (reference photo for those who don’t remember: http://www.flickr.com/photos/emkeller/2210947570/)

s: How could such a thing ever go out of style? That and velvet paintings. Classic.

p2: i don’t know why j3, but i thought you meant one of these: http://www.moving-waterfall-pictures.com/moving_waterfall_pictures if you’re feeling daring, you can check out the religious or romantic pictures (sfw)..i think

j3: Wow. I know I’ve been single for a while, but THAT’S what romance looks like? (the one at the bottom)

j5: That’s what I got my wife for our anniversary!

k: YIKES! I think I’ll be staying single for-ev-ah!

p2: are you saying that’s not any good? that eagle flying up there?…i think that’s icing on the cake~

m2: I love the one with the white tiger superimposed… a very tranquil scene.

v: Click the “Romantic Pictures” link at the left… FABIO !!!

a: while we’re at it, what about a sauna? ’cause it’s just not humid enough outside…

k: And plastic coverings over the IKEA couches and the lamps. While we’re at it, we need some baskets of fake ivy for the ledge above L’s desk.

m1: How do you say “The Classiest Frickin’ Conference Room in the Western Hemisphere” in German? Because that’s what it’s starting to sound like we need to name the space across the hall.

p1: Geile Zeitlose Bude!…. maybe  “Die Bude”?

j6: My Google Translate says “Die meisten protzigen Konferenzraum in der westlichen Hemisphäre”.  Your name is much shorter though!

p2: die booty… ftw
