As you may have noticed, we got some new desks, and some new equipment.

Right now.
Close the door.
Okay, I, I didn't know there waa meeting, okay? I'm sorry.
Who scheduled that, or when? It wasn't.
I was making an announcement.
They give me a promotion.
Oh, cool! Dougie, that's so cool.
It means our department is really gonna be on the radar now.
I gotta meet with top brass about bureaucratic whatnot.
- Okay? - Okay.
It's bad enough that, that you show up late every day, but I also know you ain't doing jack! Everybody here is lapping you, okay? How we gonna make the company more productive, if we're not? You know? On your desk, is employee logs from all our warehouses.
If those stacks aren't logged today, I'm gonna put you in my status report.
Things have changed.
I'm a VP now.
You may go.
Oh.
Jesus Christ.
Are you kidding me? I'll never get through this today! Ugh.
There's no way I'm gonna get through that stack.
I mean, why me? What's that guy's problem? Well, you are always late.
And you don't really work.
Very hard.
That's not it.
He has it out for me.
I need to get on his good side, you know? Well, he's pretty horny.
Maybe if you got him laid That's disgusting, Tyler.
No.
Ugh.
I'd feel like a pimp.
I bet if you set him up, he'd let you start your women's group, or your community outreach deal, or whatever.
I mean, how would I do that, anyway? You should set him up with that girl who came to your yoga thing.
What girl? She's tall and blonde, she came to your yoga thing.
- Uh-huh.
- He's talking about her a lot.
- He is? - I think he's really into her.
Yeah, he talks a big game, but I think he's pretty lonely.
You know, everybody wants a girlfriend.
Hey! Hi! You caught me ****, by the way.
No, you're a mom, you have to do that.
Um, hey, listen.
Um, what's the name of that girl you brought to yoga the other day? Harper? Yeah, the tall one, right? Blonde girl? Is she, is she single? Yeah, she's single.
Why? Well, I was thinking of maybe setting her up with a guy in Cogentiva.
If you can just e-mail me her extension Sure.
Okay! - You know, Amy - Yeah? You know who we should set up? You.
What? Why? - Why not? - No.
I'm really taking a break from all that right now.
Yeah, but you have taken break, Amy.
You can't take a break forever.
Don't you want some love in your life? Don't I have love in my life? I don't know.
Do you? Is there any love for me anymore? Where would I find it? Men can be such monkeys.
Most of them are so ridiculous.
The dumb monuments to their egos.
Pissing matches and their titles.
What happens when the thing that used to attract you now repels you? Where do I go from here? Hey, Dougie! What's up? How's your stack? Um, making progress.
Yeah, so Um, listen, I hope this isn't inappropriate, but, I was just wondering if you were in a relationship now, or anything? Really? No, I don't mean for me.
- I heard that - Hey, Big Dog.
- Holding down the fort? - Oh, sure.
I heard that you had an eye on Harper.
I could talk too her, 'cause, since I know her, right? And like, talk you up, or see if, you know, she's interested or whatever? Yeah? You'd do that? We gotta support each other! Yeah? Do you think she'd like me? Well, you're a popular dude, right? - So, I mean, she'll feel that way too, right? - I love this chick stuff.
