Cecil’s Night Out

Posted by shegeek at March 18th, 2009 | No Comments »

After the morning email from Cecil, The Boss was even more convinced that something wasn’t quite right.  There was no way that his beloved stapler would act with such hubris, apathetic to The Boss’ pleas for his safe and immediate return!

“Cecil is NOT a narcissist!” The Boss exclaimed to all within earshot.

Unfortunately for The Boss, an early afternoon email from Cecil seemed to further document the blatant disregard that guided Cecil’s every adventure.

Dear The Boss,

Last night got kinda crazy. I took the car out and the female staplers loved the convertible even though it was pretty cold last night. We went out bar hopping and surprisingly this town is a pretty happening place on a Monday night (Can’t wait to see how it is the rest of the week). In any event I don’t think I can really get into great detail about how my night went but needless to say some magazine journalist showed up and things got a little out of hand. I will be reading the paper tomorrow to see if I made the news or set any new trends.

I think I am going to relax today and recover from last night’s activities. I will probably be hanging out in the game room since it is so quiet and has so many things to do. Nothing like playing video games and shooting some hoops to sweat out the alcohol from last night’s bender.

Sincerely,

Cecil B. Swingline

Fits of anger could be heard emanating from The Boss’ office, a sure sign of the arrival and viewing of the message from Cecil.  The maelstrom began when more photos arrived documenting Cecil’s coming-of-staplerhood.

No one was sure how much more The Boss could take…

The Swingline Chronicles

Posted by shegeek at March 18th, 2009 | No Comments »

The warning from The Boss didn’t seem to faze anyone, least of all Cecil.  Whispers of Cecil sightings were rampant, but The Boss refused to consider the possibility that his beloved stapler had gone rogue.

Those denials were even less plausible on Tuesday morning when Cecil sent an email containing the first issue of “The Swingline Chronicles.”

Cecil appears to be taking himself a little too seriously, don’t you think?

Warnings to the Staff

Posted by shegeek at March 16th, 2009 | No Comments »

From: The Boss
Subject: Cecil B. Swingline
To: D. Messwith McStapler Esquire

 FYI. In need of some stapler-napping assistance.

From:  D. Messwith McStapler Esquire
To:  The Staff, The Building Manager, The HR Manager
cc:  The Boss

To whom it may concern:

We are aware of your staple-napping and are not impressed at your attempts to mask this haneous crime with delusions of “liberation”. This organization and it’s client – The Boss – will not respond to any demands from such clear terrorist organizations such as your own. Your obviously photoshopped images will not serve as the proof of life that we require before responding further. Return said swingline with due haste or deal with our most devastating wrath.

With Disgust,

D. Messwith McStapler Esquire
The Law Offices of Give Me a Break, You’ve gotta be kidding me, and Sons
1234 WTF Place
The City, And State 

There was question as to the competence of said attorney however, based soley on his inability to use spell check.
