An Attempt at Workplace Humor, Courtesy of Yours Truly

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—The following exchange took place today on the sixth floor of the News Corp. building between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m

MY BOSS

Is it Thursday yet? [Side note: Thursday is her last day of the work week—as is mine]

ME

Sorry, it isn't.

MY BOSS

Is it close to Thursday yet?

ME

Depends on what you mean by 'close.' If you just go by how many days it is 'til Thursday, then yeah, it's pretty close. But if you go by how many hours it is 'til it officially becomes Thursday...then that might seem like a really long time.

Well, my boss cracked a smile at that, at least...
