Wear a $#@& mask!
I thought it was hell working from home, but now that I’m back in the office…

Damn! You’re not on my 2020 Bingo Card.
Great. Now middle management is here.
Hey buddy, back off. 6 ft, wear a mask, wash your hands. How about a bit of sympathy for the chicken returning from sick leave.

So I want you to fix this bug for me. What is your Upwork price again?
Sure, I’ll come. It can’t be any worse than this office.
Alexa, I said “play Santana”, not “petition Satan”!
I guess I need to adjust the settings on the Roomba.
Well, Santa, we’ve ALL undergone some big changes in 2020. The kids will understand.

That should be the :mute: emoji.

Actually, I just summoned you so I’d have a friend.

You ended up in the wrong spot. The Penta_gon_ is where you should be.

All I am saying, is that very time you visit, all I hear from Peggy next-door is “What is that smell?” ..for weeks! WE ALL CAN SMELL IT PEGGY! YES, IT IS SULFUR! HE IS A CLIENT! YOU DO NOT HEAR ME COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR NASTY TUNA SANDWICHES, DO YOU?! ..but yes, your portfolio is doing so great!

I’ve got to be more careful rolling around the office…
Oh hello 2020.
This first week has been great! It turns out my last job actually was worse than hell.
Oh. You must be the new guy from HR…Damon, right? Just try to keep a low profile and everything will go ‘smoothly’.

You’re a little early; I was just finishing off the presentation for the merger.
LOL
So not just a weird coffee stain! Well as long a you’re here, just watch my back for a couple of hours. Your crackling flames are relaxing and I could use a nap.

I want your dark spreadsheet magic to fix my climate prediction formula. (Whatever data I feed it, the temperate just keeps rising at the end.)
I like where Alfred’s ideas are leading. Perhaps, “Want to hear something *really* scary? Climate change models predict Hell freezing over.”
“Well, you’re not who I was expecting, but this is 2020”
“I know, I know. The service here is terrible and you want to see my manager.”

No, no, no. I don’t want anything in return. I just want you to take my soul now.
Oh, sorry. I was trying to contact Cthulhu.
Why are you being let go? Because we no longer need your help to end the world.
Aren’t you a little late for the End of the World?
Well, I’m very busy 25 years from now. How does this Tuesday for collection sound?
Wait, they sent you here as punishment?
I ‘m done trying to flatten the curve. Let’s face it, people are idiots. Maybe you can start that “Apocalypse” event ahead of schedule and speed things up…?
So, you’re from Microsoft Support? And you got signals from my computer that it has a virus?
New boss, same as the old boss.
So does this office have any other temperature settings besides “eternal hell fires”?
I knew I should’ve read the Terms & Conditions.
Can you tell me how to get a job in marketing?
“So that’s what that spreadsheet formula does!”
What do you mean my PowerPoint isn’t ready yet?
Mate, if you think this is going to scare me you clearly haven’t been keeping up with the news.
Can you get Nick for me? Said he’d be damned if he fixes my laptop once more!

I don’t care what it costs! I want to work from home….
Alexa close Zuul, open Zoom.
Drag me to Hell. It’ll be better there.
You’ve got the wrong cubicle. Brenda is 3 cubes down.
Sorry, but you’re not even in the top 10 of surprising things to happen in 2020.
I’m really sorry, but your employment at Savage Snow Cones is just not working out.
We’ve gotten way too many complaints from Uber Eats customers that they’re receiving barbequed food when they didn’t order it.

HR said you’re not evil enough, we’re going to have to let you go
What do you mean my soul isn’t compatible with Windows 10?
Sorry Dude. You must have gotten off on the wrong floor. Hell is a few floors up from here…
