Something extremely tragic has taken place here at the Rdesk. This morning, we found that our beloved dog Spart has gone missing. Some of the AM team here at the Rdesk did not hear his little barks to state that he was hungry, or needed to be walked. As you can assume, the disappearance of our beloved mascot has really taken a toll on our morale.
This does not mean that we are taking more time to answer calls, or work or queues, or schedule pick-ups for mis-ships. This only means that we're working through our daily routine empty. Not like a deep emotional empty. We're not all writing depressing poetry, and drawing pictures of emo angels to later scan and share on a forum where depressed people tend to hang out on. We are just missing a team member, and the space that Spart used to take up on Jeff's desk is in disrepair, and may even start collecting various forms of dust.
It is true that we could take this dust mound and draw a face on it, throw an eye patch on it, and call it our new pirate dust pile, "dusty the pirate of the dust pile". We choose not to do this because, quite frankly, that would be insane. Some of us may actually think that Spart the stuffed dog mascot actually does bark, but still...that doesn't prove anything in regards to madness.
We also would like you to stop thinking that we're all insane, thinking that walking a stuffed dog may actually stop it from whining. It's early in the morning, and some of us have yet to actually taste coffee.
So in closing, if you have our stuffed dog, then please give it back. We don't want to make a dust pile our new mascot. It would be very dirty, and not at all flattering to show off when doing tours around the building.
