Well, aren\'t we just a ray of sunshine? Not the brightest crayon in the box now, are we? Don\'t bother me. I\'m living happily ever after. Do I look like a people person? This isn\'t an office. It\'s Hell with fluorescent lighting. I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me. You! Off my planet !! Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap! You choose. Practice random acts of intelligence & senseless acts of self-control. I like cats too. Let\'s exchange recipes. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. And your cry-baby whiny-assed opinion would be...? I\'m not crazy, I\'ve just been in a very bad mood for 30 years. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. Do they ever shut up on your planet? I\'m just working here till a good fast-food job opens up. I\'m trying to imagine you with a personality. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. Stress is when you wake up screaming & you realize you haven\'t fallen asleep yet. I can\'t remember if I\'m the good twin or the evil one. How many times do I have to flush before you go away? I just want revenge. Is that so wrong? I work 40 hours a week to be this poor. Can I trade this job for what\'s behind door #2? Too many freaks, not enough circuses. Chaos, panic, and disorder - my work here is done. Earth is full. Go home. Is it time for your medication or mine? Aw, did I step on your poor little bitty ego? I plead contemporary insanity. How do I set a laser printer to stun? I\'m not tense, just terribly, terribly alert. When I want your opinion, I\'ll give it to you
