i decided to wear rollerblades to work today...not

What do people at work who have access (READ: the power!) do when the conference room is unoccupied?

Now, coitus, although it may sound wrong as an answer, is the last (but not the least) thing in this situation.

Jayvi who arrived from Sacramento, CA recently had this perfect idea yesterday.

We had an hour and some there's-nothing-to-do friggin' minutes. First, we invaded the conference room. Second, he turned the projector on, went online and downloaded a series. Finally, I invited in about 10 of my subordinates who were also doing nothing.

On the screen, we watched Dane Cook's Vicious Cycle comedy act, the show produced last year by HBO. It was ass-kickin' hilarious and insane.

The whole thing was downloaded from IMEEM. The show was chopped into 12 parts. After watching part 6, we all went on a break-on-a-break, exited the lobby to smoke and then went back to finish the remaining parts.

Like what I said, there was totally nothing to do. But since we couldn't just leave and go home, and we didn't want to be seen by our subordinates twirling the pen in our fingers while solving sudoko, we hid in the conference room.

It was an attempt to make an impression that we were busy.

But the others soon found out the truth. Our laughters gave us away. Well, who wouldn't? And you know how men laugh, right? The walls could hardly contain the sound.

From time to time, those who were excluded from watching the Dane Cook show stood outside the door of the conference room, probably tried to figure out what the hell we were doing inside. The door is a fusion of wood and glass, making it easy for us to see people behind it.

Understood.

If you were left outside and you know people are inside the conference room, and you could hear people laughing once or thrice, you'd think it's nothing. It's pretty normal that some person would break the ice or tension by saying a blooper or rehashing a joke.

But when people inside that room are bursting with sounds of laughter every so often, you would become very curious. While sneaking up outside the door, you're wondering, "What is the meeting all about? What is so funny?"

If you've watched the Vicious Cycle, you know what the laughter's all about.

One scene that was cut from that show can be downloaded in YouTube. It's a scene wherein a gurl interrupted the show, went onstage because it was her birthday. Wrong move. You know how it is when it's your birthday and you go to a comedy club, right?

If you're lost and don't know what the heck is this about, then watch a snippet installed below.

kids should know that...

Dane Cook's first HBO special, Vicious Circle, was aired on September 4, 2006. The double DVD was released on November 28, 2006. It is a 90-minute presentation which was filmed at TD Banknorth Garden in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts on a circular stage surrounded by the audience. The stage had on it the impression of his Super Finger hand gesture. Cook brought the same set to Madison Square Garden for back-to-back sold out shows on November 12, 2006. (wikipedia)
