Kate in Los Angeles likened this office post-it pile-on to “the Toy Story of the office kitchen — when you’re away, all of the inanimate objects start talking.”
So…Dreamworks, Pixar — let’s talk options, shall we? (“It’s Toy Story meets The Office — a guaranteed hit in all four quadrants!)

I’m going to change my scrolling screensaver from “Away from my desk–Be right back” to “Please replace me”.
Those idiots will probably just promote me again.

The plot device is that the janitor is quitting and starting work at another building. And the kitchen stuff has to find its way there!

That water bottle needs to go down to the Employee Assistance Program.
He’s not four-fifths empty…he’s one-fifth full and needs to know that, own it and move forward with confidence.
Well, 20% confidence in his worth at least.

I’m confused as to why the Sharpie is badgering the water bottle about being adopted. Sharpie, what’s your point?

I’m confused who the sharpie is talking to….the splenda? Or is he commenting on the sponge conversation (the second one called the first brother)……guess it’s the crazy cousin that no one listens to anyway?

I wonder if they’ll put a sticky note on the counter that says “I’m sick and tired of supporting you guys.”

What about the post-it notes themselves? Don’t they have feelings? Can’t we just understand their perspective for once?

My money says this is the kitchen of an ad agency, or the loony bin. Oh wait, those are kind of the same.
And I just need to say, dixie, I am in awe of your use of the trademark symbol on your post. I can barely find the caps key.

It kind of looks like all of them except for maybe the new Scotch Brite package were written by the same person. Which worries me.

Now that’s what I call a good use of managed time in a work day. Where’s the stapler?

It should have stopped at “stop fighting” that was hilarious but then it just kept going & wasn’t as funny.

You wanted a Randy Newman song…
The Sharpie’s note got no wisdom
Sharpie’s note got no wisdom
Sharpie’s note got no wisdom, ya see?
The old brittle sponge,
wants to die
The Scotch Brite one
Is here to fight
The tea knows it,
That pacifying tea!
Then the cup just tells them,
“Why don’t you drink me?”
But I don’t get that Sharpie note,
…don’t get that Sharpie note,
…don’t get that Sharpie note.
It’s weird!
Sharpie’s note is just the thing
to analyze…
it makes me wonder if…
Is the Pen adopted,
or the Splenda’s wife??
The Sharpie’s note got no wisdom
Sharpie’s note got no wisdom
Sharpie’s note got no wisdom, ya know?
I get the Splenda’s point
He’s a pot calling black,
…and the Scotch Brite line,
saying “Just relax”
There’s a little water-
of course the jug’s empty!
are all the fights mended
by the pacifying tea?
Now that little yellow Splenda’s
calling me a fake?
How much more can I even take??
Well, I don’t get that Sharpie note,
…don’t get that Sharpie note,
…don’t get that Sharpie note.
It’s weird!
