OFFICE UPDATE
After many hours of hard labor, with whip-cracking bosses threatening us with Lysol brand disinfecting wipes (puke scented!), we are now housed in a new office that is as clean as it is going to get for a while:
Unfortunately there is no desk for The Blog, but please don't tell him! By the time he visits the office, we surely will have moved again.
Nice digs, Judi!

Sheesh, that is one tiny little office! I hope for your sake, Dave and Leonard don't visit on the same day!

What's with the Peter Max, - what was in this acid? - wall treatment?
Or is it peeling paint?

What happened to the Bear? and the chair with Dave's butt print?
Posted by: Mad Scientist Weasel | June 29, 2009 at 05:04 PM
Shhhhhhhh! Don't tell Dave - It appears that judi is blogging at work.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 29, 2009 at 05:07 PM
juuuuuuudiiii is back! We won't tell Dave that you rehired yourself. He will never know.

With that size of an office, please make sure that no one goes to any Mexican place for lunch.

Wow!!!
Those are some cushy digs!
Does it have a wet bar?
Where will Walter stay?
Inquiring minds...
Oops!! Wrong rag.

Ugh, judi. You need to buy a mask!
Same floor?
Posted by: Siouxie | June 29, 2009 at 05:17 PM
So the janitor doesn't have an office now ?

Ok, who's this Leonard Pitts guy, and why does he get his name over Judi's?
Posted by: Hammond Rye | June 29, 2009 at 05:59 PM
With the door open, it's just like Grand Central Station.

judi, Welcome back, we missed ya'!!! (And, btw, The "Puke-Scented Disinfecting Wipes" W_NOT_BAGNF just about anything...) (throws up in my mouth a little bit...)
Posted by: frodolives | June 29, 2009 at 06:04 PM
There's obviously some mistake. judi's name needs to be at the top of the list. Certainly above "Leonard Pitts, Jr." (Who the heck is Lenny, anyway? A character in one of Carl Hiassen's novels?)
Posted by: Guin | June 29, 2009 at 06:09 PM
Leonard J is certainly an interesting addition to the "team". Does he know yet? Will he blog incognito? Where does he stand on cap-and-trade of Wooden Dialogue Generator emissions?
Posted by: danceswithvowels | June 29, 2009 at 06:47 PM
Yes, we certainly do need to know more about this Leonard Pitts, Jr person. Lenny? Junior? Lenny junior?
Posted by: NotSherly | June 29, 2009 at 06:53 PM
No, no nickname; he's Leonard Pitts. Not a humor writer, more of a wry commentary on life/personalities/politics.
judi, I assume both Leonard and Dave are telecomuting and that space is for the rsearch department. I hope. Otherwise, come up here and crossgirl and I will assign you an acre, as long as you keep it mowed.
Posted by: CJrun | June 29, 2009 at 07:04 PM
We were worried about you Judi! It's good to see you back. If Dave and Leonard are in the office at the same time Dave could sit on Leonard's lap. I wouldn't mind a picture of that. Maybe the names are arranged alphabetically?
Posted by: nursecindy | June 29, 2009 at 07:05 PM
Leonard had better not be a replacement for Walter. We Walter loyalists won't stand for it.
Posted by: Renee (the First) | June 29, 2009 at 07:05 PM
Leonard is another columnist who works at The Herald and as CJ pointed out, not a humor writer. HE's very good though. I'm assuming they share Walter.

It is certainly a well-oiled machine of an office.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | June 29, 2009 at 07:27 PM
I'm guessing y'all have to do your respective typing in shifts to avoid injury.
Posted by: Mitch | June 29, 2009 at 07:39 PM
Wry commentary. Excellent.

see? this is what happens when you request accomodations for mental health under ada. seriously, this reminds me of the "office" for the guy i used to work with who made such demands.
Posted by: crossgirl | June 29, 2009 at 07:56 PM
What is your desk doing sitting next to the Time Tunnel?
(Yes, I know, that's a geezer show ... I'm probably the one one here who took notice that Gale Storm just died...)
Posted by: Steve Haller | June 29, 2009 at 07:58 PM
Looks like my closet... Oops...
You're styling, Judi! Really!
Posted by: DearAL | June 29, 2009 at 07:59 PM
By the way, Siouxie, I assume you watched part 2 of "Impact" -- were you convinced? That final shot of the moon was pretty weird...
And coming Sunday, July 12 on NBC, Part 1 of "Meteor"...! I think you can guess what that one's about, but unfortunately Sean Connery won't be in this one...
Posted by: Steve Haller | June 29, 2009 at 08:02 PM
No, it looks . . . comfy. And by "comfy" I mean "Woke up in a frat-house after a 48-hour bender and didn't immediately panic" sort of way.
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 29, 2009 at 08:25 PM
Steve, no. I did not catch the 2nd part of Impact. I was out and didn't get home in time. Dang. I may have to catch it if they show it again sometime. I'll take a guess and say the next one's about a...meteor?? Yeah I know. I'm esmart. Maybe I can see that one.
Sharkie, their "old" office was just as full of
crapinteresting items but, it was bigger.Posted by: Siouxie, using daughter's icky Mac | June 29, 2009 at 09:07 PM
It's still bigger than any office I ever had; although I didn't have to share it with two other people. Does yours have a window? Can't tell from the pic.
Posted by: Lairbo | June 29, 2009 at 09:52 PM
Lairbo, it might be a good idea if it doesn't have a window. Somebody might fall out of it while hitting the Caps Lock key on the keyboard.
Posted by: nursecindy | June 29, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Yay, judi got posted!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 29, 2009 at 10:50 PM
I remember shots of the older office. It just seemed to have a pattern to its chaos.
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 29, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Colbert's is bigger. Siouxie told me.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 29, 2009 at 11:20 PM
Not enough stacks to be comfortable. Higher, higher.
Posted by: Loudmouth | June 29, 2009 at 11:33 PM
Hmmm....horizontal blinds are not exactly slimming.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 30, 2009 at 12:13 AM
I like Leonard Pitts. Don't always agree, but he always causes me to think. (damn it)
What is with that wall? Is it a portal? Where is does it lead? Space, time, hell? Will anyone be left to answer these questions?

That sign says it all - The Miami Herald obviously respects and admires all three of you. Do you want us to bake cakes with screwdrivers (the tool, not the drink) in them and send them to you? (It might help you to exit the small door as you could impale the others with it to give you room to get out.)
Posted by: Aussiegirl | June 30, 2009 at 05:23 AM
Well, compared with the old place it's...it's...well, it's neater! Yeah, that's the ticket, neater.
*snork* at Steve's "Time Tunnel" line.
Siouxie, we DVR'd part two of Impact but didn't watch it yet. I'm guessing the Moon and Earth didn't collide but that's just wild speculation.
It was OK but lacked that certain cheesy je ne sais quois of previous disaster epics like 10.5 and 10.5: Apocalypse.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 30, 2009 at 08:01 AM
Be careful Judi that office might lead into John Malkovick's head!!!
