The adage states that everyone is a critic. None truer than the chap who emailed me this week. Taking a quick break from my regular posts, here’s the gist of his question.
Given shows like The Office, why bother writing office comedy?
Despite the best efforts of The Office to emancipate cubicle workers, last I heard there were still an awful lot of people with office jobs. That’s reason enough to write Workforced.
I would also add that Workforced is a toilet book, which you can read in small chunks whenever you’re having a poo. When I checked this morning passing fecal matter was not out of fashion either.
Thus, Workforced is a blog for anyone who shits or works in an office.
My fear is that pooing and office work will disappear. However, if that happens I’m sure we’ll be reminiscing about how nice it was to be unconstipated and able to pay rent. Hence, Workforced should remain relevant even in a turd-free post-apocalyptic dystopia. Many thanks for your email.
And Thanks To
Many thanks to my favorite hippy pagan chick Nydia at Bringing Up Salamanders for her review of Workforced. I know what you’re thinking, if she keeps bringing them up why carry on eating them?
Sadly, Nydia is from Rio, which means everyone in her blog is better looking than I am. I don’t suppose there’s much place for a chubby Harry Potter doppelganger in Brazil. I’m so white I’m almost reflective. When I last walked along a beach I heard a small Mexican child ask his monther “Estas Jesus Christo?” Alas, no, you’ve got the wrong Jew.

HA! I usually say I am so white I am pink!
Thanks for making me laugh today.
Hahaha! My dad tells me off for sunbathing in the garden, he says the light bouncing back might dazzle the airline pilots and cause an accident
(yes my dad still tells me off even though I’m 47!) XXX
lmao!!
Thank you for your lovely words on humble me. Yeah, I just can’t resist eating salamanders time after time, they taste good, it worths the bringing up, lol!
If you get a closer look you’ll see that amost all my good-looking followers are from abroad! That tells you something… And you haven’t seen my fair-complexion skin brothers, sometimes I think I was secretly adopted (though my aquiline nose is just like hers, so maybe THEY were adopted).
Keep up the awesome work, your blog rocks!

Kisses!
PS: By “hers” I mean my mom…
Good one
Go spend about three weeks in Sicily, working out doors, and I’ll guarantee you won’t be white any longer…
How can you tell the difference between pooping and working in an office? It’s one and the same to me.
work + office-= poop
poop + work = office
Thus, poop + office (work) = one frickin’ lousy job
I was able to figure that out because my daughter is a mathematician and I done raised her good (I majored in English). And although I love The Office, we definitely have room for the hilarity of your blog. You are almost as intelligent and sexy as Dwight. But will you stop offering me money for sex? It’s embarrassing. I always give it away for free to pasty-faced men who write office humor.
Love,
Lola, who bears a strong resemblance to Caspar the Friendly Ghost
I find you as relevant as my morning constitution. Keep writing this office poo. I like it!
You crack me up! Thanks for the laugh
Apologies to all for being so poor at replying to comments. I’m on the road and traveling for the next two months but I’ll try and do more than just write my posts!
@ Gina – I know how you feel
@ Old NFO – not even Sicilian sun can bronze my ghostly complexion. I might burn but even then I’ll only look like a very angry ghost.
Thanks for all sticking with me and commenting! Its lovely to know people are out there!

I’ve always believed that the very best comedy is that comedy which is based in truth. Your office comedy is without a doubt truthful. That’s why it’s so good and why so many people respond to it.

Still. You could have suffered the little child to come unto you, no?
Ha ha! you are so white you are reflective. I think I can do better – my nickname is stilton because I am white with blue veins.
Everyone should have a thankful heart,and everyone also should have a single upbeat.
