I am looking for a story (or thread) about a guy who was working in a professional-type office setting, and then began to work less and less until his job was basically sitting in an office doing absolutely nothing. The department lost track of him or something, so he never had a manager or had to do any work whatsoever.

Thanks in advance if anyone can parse my partial memories.

Can't remember what it was called, but I know this came up earlier in the thread so if anyone has SALR you can search the thread for the answer.

I'm looking for a cartoon that's about someone saying they have to write a paper or do homework, the next frame they say "finally finished!" or something and the last frame shows a big Minecraft creation.

I'm looking for this video - seems like lots of people are from Googling. Here's how one person described it:

quote:

This reminds me of a television interview I saw many years ago. A reporter
from one of the major US television networks (I forget which one) was
interviewing black British athlete Kriss Akabusi after being a member of
the 400 metres relay team that took the gold medal at the 1991 Athletics
World Championships. The interviewer started off with:

"So, Kriss, what does this mean to you as an African-American?"

"I'm not American, I'm British"

"Yes, but as a British African-American ..."

"I'm not African. I'm not American. I'm British."

This went on for some time before the reporter got so flustered that she
gave up and went to interview someone else. I guess more than anything
else it demonstrates the potential absurdity of political correctness -- this reporter
was so tied-up with the idea that the "correct" term for
someone of afro-caribbean ancestry was African-American and not Black that
she couldn't cope with the fact that many black people are neither African
nor American.

I know I saw this video at one point so it must exist

Internet peoples! I'm trying to find a children's book on manners. It was a family of rabbits, and their cousin rabbit was weird and wore a hairband with stars attached to it. It taught how to behave at birthday parties, while travelling and while spending the night at your friend's house. Please help!

Was it the My Little Golden Book of Manners? It's not only rabbits, but it does have rabbits on how to behave at birthday parties.
