Dennis: Pam just walked in while I was on my conference call. As we have to share our home and both sustain our working environments, I am learning to manage along with my home coworker.

Perhaps tonight I will call a meeting with my home coworker to put some effort toward producing a corona boomer.

Or even worse, you start bringing that fugly beat to parties and showing them off to your friends.
