there so we thought
tonight what we would do is try and select one of those people and name them
office worker of the month

into their office
because that's a violation of their uh office rights or something so we have to
call over there

here's the phone number
right here next to the phone call a little dialing music so we'll call and we'll
see if we can't find
somebody over there and try and get them to come to the window now when they
come to the window and wave
then we'll tell them that they're office worker of the month and we'll send
somebody over to get them
