dan spotted this triple-bonus-score of a note at the desk of a receptionist in MTV’s new york office. the craziest part, he says? “she leaves it up there all the time, just in case she calls in sick. it’s just up there, all day, in her face, reaffirming her violent disapproval for people invading her personal space.”

I left it on your desk allright…
What makes her think it’s HER desk? MTV should’ve done a background check…

she must have tons of vacation accrued or must have an unconventional day off each week. and if not? either way, the note is extreme.

It was nice of her to leave the double dose of Zoloft. I needed it after reading the note.

“DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON MY DESK”
“STAY OUT OF MY WORK AREA”
“I LEAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED FOR THE DAY ON MY DESK”

“I leave everything that you need for the day on my desk” and “Do not touch anything on my desk”?
“The stapler is right there! Don’t use my stapler!“

If the fill-in person is there for two or more days, can they rearrange everything?

Ohhh….that’s why the temp just sit’s there staring at the ceiling and doesn’t answer the phone…or do anything else…

Uhm, one question. How could anyone possibly get any work done without touching anything on/in her desk if they are subbing for her?

If she leaves it up in case she gets sick, wouldn’t that mean she was also unprepared and didn’t “…LEAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED FOR THE DAY ON [HER] DESK!!!!!!!!!!!”?

If you are here for one day, and that one day happens to be Feb 29, which happens once every four years, that applies to you, too.

See, I am not sure if that is a garter or not in the top left hand corner. Maybe not, because it seems to say Andrea’s Baby. But suppose it is a garter. Now a garter is pretty tame, but what else is she hiding in her desk that belongs to no-one but her?

If the note on the desk is from the receptionist and addressed to the temp…does that make the note on the desk the temp’s ?

Don’t we really have to give credit to the employee who purchases her own white-out, post-its, paper clips and staples? Manila envelopes and tabbed files and pens and stamp pads?
These things belong to her, not MTV, and should be respected…say what? She didn’t buy them? Then fuck her! Use her supplies at will, in fact, distribute them to the office staff members who actually showed up at work!

Hi Sybil,
Thanks for the use of your desk. I hope you’re feeling better. I got pasta sauce, grass stains, dirt and motor oil on all your nice things; you don’t mind, do you? I assumed today wasn’t the ONE DAY if I was here for which, you didn’t want me to touch your things. You would have said if you’d meant today, right?
Thanks again,
Bernice

Finding this note would make me want to lick every single thing on or in the desk, à la Divine in Pink Flamingos.

Not ‘a’ favor, but ‘the’ favor. Like it’s the only one.

So if I am here for two days, touching the things on her desk is fair game? Awesome!

Sorry about the mess-I was sitting at your desk going thru all your stuff when I read your note -and to respect your wishes-ceased to touch anything. Except for Angie’s garter. Got a little excited and dribbled on your chair and the garter. To apologize, I left you a turd cicle in the fridge.

Sybil is clearly a psychotic bitch but the fact that she’s still working in that office with her stupid note displayed in all its glory proves that Dan and the rest of the stooges working in that office are a bunch of punk-ass enablers.
