    I have a visitor waiting in my lobby for a lunch meeting. Not really interested but I guess I have to meet him now that he is here right? His name is Joe Zaff

    Get rid of him - tell him your esthetician had an emergency and had to move you pedicure and eyebrow waxing... He'll understand.

    All of you had great advice and humorous suggestions.

    Here's what I decided to do. I told my assistant to ask him to wait in our lobby because I was on an important call. After an hour, I asked her to bring him a cup of cocoa (Joe is a girl and hence the cocoa). He fell asleep abruptly after the fourth sip of cocoa. I had my assistant wake him at 4pm to advise him that I was available at 3 but didn't want to wake him. At 4, I was busy.

    My assistant left at 5:30 and I forgot about Joe being in the lobby. Embarassed that I had left him in the lobby for 5.5 hours, I slipped out the back door. The doors are now locked and I think he may be stuck inside.

    Anyone know a cop in Newtown square? No! Not to help get him out! To have him arrested for trespass!

    I just found this thread...I thought I would give all of you a little update on how I spent my afternoon...

    So at 9:30 this morning I get a phone call from Joe Mac. He was very distraught because it has been two months since he lost money on a car and he is jonesing to blow a big wad of cash. He begs me to come to his office and help him scan the internet for swampland that he can buy high and sell low. Concerned for his mental health, I jump in the car with a copy of the wall street journal and some fig newtons (they always calm him down) and head to his office. When I get there, his secretary tells me that he has barricaded himself inside and refuses to talk to anybody. At that moment, out of the corner of my eye, I see Joe running with nothing but a viking helmet and a mink coat while security chases him like keystone cops up and down the hall. Finally, he makes his way back to his office, locks the door and yells with a madonnaesque english accent, "FROM NOW ON, CALL ME THE GOVERNOR"

    I slump in my chair, realizing it is going to be awhile, and ask his secretary for some hot chocolate to warm myself up, as they have shut off the heat in the building in an attempt to compel the now naked, helmeted, Joe M. to leave his office.

    In my chair, drinking my hot chocolate, I eventually go to sleep. I awake briefly to the sound of stun grenades as SWAT breached his office, but fell back to sleep soon after. I woke up at 5:30, Joe was gone, his secretary was gone...all that was left was a smokey lobby, latex gloves the medics left behind when they were subduing Joe M., a couple of empty cans of Tab (Joe's favorite soft drink) scattered about and a viking helmet with the horn broken off dangling precariously at the top of the stairs. I guess I missed the action.

    I am glad Joe is OK,

    Now how in the hell do I get out of this place?

    Wait until morning and take his secretary to breakfast. She'll tell you about everything you missed. Have her pay for breakfast out of the office petty cash. :)

    Joe Mac, you will need to work a little harder if you intend to mince words with Mr. Zaff.

    I have to give Zaff credit for that post. And, most of it is correct. Well, the part where he describes his drinking cocoa is correct. everything is false. However, I was trying desparately to find a way to spend cash yesterday and decided, after sneaking out the back door leaving him stranded in my office, that I would go to the store for a new haircut and a fresh suit. Here's a picture of me last night with a buddy of mine at a bar in Manayunk. Obviously, I'm the one on the right. Like the new look?

    Is that a new haircut, or did you finally run out of those 20lb tubs of hair relaxer I saw in your garage? :D
