Everyone in my office went on an early lunch today, leaving me alone for a good 90 minutes. By the time they returned I had claimed the land for the Principality of Deskonia and their good Queen Jessica, and used the printer paper boxes to fortify my cube desk thing. I even had a flag (clearly you need a flag for a good takeover) that prominently featured an angry squirrel.

Sadly I work in a sales company so they just rolled their eyes at the IT Girl and got on with the business of bidness. I bet people at Google make cubicle forts all the time. (Wasn’t there a story a few years ago about them having a real office monkey to boost morale? I never get company primates, or even ungulates. How am I supposed to have the will to go on working?!)

Anyway, I’ve approved an increase in Deskonia’s military spending to fund many tiny trebuchets. I have tomorrow off, and I bet with a little effort I could start an international incident before 5pm.
