I work in the calendar section at my job, but some times it feels like Los Alamos. I have to clock in when I get there. I then sign in on a sheet at the guard's station. Then I fill out a time sheet. When I arrive at my work station, I have to sign in there as well. I also have to sign out and sign into the new work station if transferred. When I leave for the day, they check any articles to make sure that I am not sneaking anything out.
I go through all that for good reason. It's not just theft. It's corporate piracy. When the press finds out that you are an employee of Borders Group Incorporated, they will hound you to no end. They want to know what are the new calendars coming out in the next year? Will the Dave Barry calendar be as funny as the "Great Dave Barry Calendar of 2002?" Will there in fact be a poodle calendar next year?
Oh how I would love to divulge this information. It says to me that life is good and worth living if only for six more months. Just wait until you see the SI Swimsuit calendar. No, I can't tell you what's on the cover. You'll have to wait to find out for yourself. All I can say is that the photo brings joy and happiness into "The Simple Life." My first thouoght when I saw it was "That's Hot."
No, I am not allowed to divulge the publishing information of Borders Group Incorporated. Please pressure me no longer. I signed an agreement. I didn't read the fine print, but my soul may be hanging in the balance here. So you'll have to carry on without knowing. Waiting, anticipating, even yearning for these next five months to see if there will indeed be a poodle calendar.
(I'm sorry, I think that I have been working far to hard this week. The whole security thing at work struck me as funny. They check the lunch bags on the way out, but leave the bay doors open because it's so darn hot. What's to keep me from throwing something out there and picking it up later?)
