Restructuring

Even when dominating, streamlining is important.  We've made some changes, but don't expect them to stop.  There's a lot of chatter going on in the message boards about changes to come in the future.  Everyone's livelihood may be on the line.

Dropping the Dead Weight

There's not much to say other than sometimes it's time to move on.

Back in the day, when this glorious blog was just a twinkle in our collective eyes, We decided to take in a certain associate even though he had already successfully run one third year blog into the ground. We're generous guys, what can we say. But it's become clear that his attitude towards allowing posts about cake recipes was really just a sign that he isn't ready for the big leagues yet. We have standards here, standards that cannot be measured in number of YouTube clips posted or pumpkin latte reviews.

A great burden has been lifted. Let us move forward in the name of Domination!

The Durham Inquisition

Like most things in life, if you leave something be, it will get messy. For example, a room will become dirty with clothes or a desk will become dusty given enough time. The same can be said about a blog and its bloggers. Sometimes, you just need to clean up house. This is one of those times. Suffice it to say, Our Fearless Leader has cleaned up what was previously a mess of blog posts: daily, without substance, and downright tedious. Hardly dominating, to say the least. The source of the problem has been nipped in the bud. Now that the situation has been rectified, domination can begin again. Re-domination, if you will.

there once was a dream that was third year

There once was a dream that was third year, and from it was born the Office. Evaluations? A thing of the past. Grades? Not as far as I can see. Hard work? Definitely not. The dream, I thought, also involved the complete dissolution of daily tasks. Blog posts came and went like Stinson. Maybe one post one day, 5 posts the next day, then nothing for days on end. These days of silence eased my mind, as I knew my fellow bloggers were off dominating third year. Things were going well...for a while.

Suddenly posting became a chore. No one really knows what, or who, happened, but things got ugly. One office member told me how he almost put up a blank post, just to bring the beloved hit counter back into view. Well my friends, the days of yore are back thanks to our Fearless Leader.

No pictures, no videos, no bullshit. Well, maybe some pictures, but only good ones. Say what you will about the office, at least its an ethos.

FREEDOM!

The people have spoken: "No more posts! No more posts!"

You are now free from the oppression of the jockey.

Late Night Hilarity

Good evening readers,

A couple important updates on this lovely Thursday:

1-These kids are dominating science fairs. They offer us all a lesson in how to dominate poster days. Take note for AOA day next summer:

2-Thanks to Friend of The Office MC for finding this...

The Reign of Terror is Over

I'd first like to thank you all for still coming to the blog even though the majority of recent posts have been from the ole scalpel jockey. You're all heroes in my eyes. Today was exciting in the office, we had 4 of 5 members show up to conduct a brutally efficient business meeting. This included dining at the new oasis in the Duke South desert: Chick-fil-a Express. And god bless them, the express part is the real deal. They move like the winds of a gale-force storm.

And I made this 2 line little diddy to commemorate tropical storm Ida passing through Durham:

"The weather outside is frightful, but the Office is so delightful!
And since we've got no place to go, we're dominating 3rd year don't you know, don't you know, don't you know!"

N.B.: Dressing as a stoplight is infinitely better than dressing as a porn star.
