New Brunswick, MA (Just Laugh) – In a move regarded by many of his co-workers as “obnoxious,” Kevin Daly continued his tradition for its 130th consecutive week by commenting aloud “At least it’s Friday!” upon clocking into work at Sylvester Paper Associates this morning.
“It’s just … his thing, I guess,” commented Laura Miles, one of Daly’s co-workers that shares a cubicle wall and thus is subject to a majority of his quirks and asides throughout the 8-hour workday. “I’ve gotten to the point where I just sort of tune him out, but some people aren’t as easy to please…”
It was then that Dana Addley piped in, “Are we talking about Kevin’s stupid Friday bit?! Isn’t that soooo annoying? I swear, if I had a nickel for every time he’s said that, I’d have…”
“…six dollars and fifty cents!” interrupted Steven Alpietz, another of Daly’s co-workers. “By the way, did anyone see the weather report for this weekend? It looks like the cold one is coming this time for sure.” At this injection, the co-workers dissipated, leaving Alpietz to go strike up a conversation himself with Daly, a common event because the two seem to share the same interests – mainly talking about the weather, the local sports team, and whether or not it happens to be Friday on any given day.
In private, the remainder of the team reported that they just sort of “tune those guys out” by wearing headphones or pretending to be on an important conference call. “Seriously,” Addley concluded, “do these guys have nothing better to talk about?”
Apparently not…
