Deciding that he is worth more then bleeding to death with vomit in his face, Toby makes up a story about his "medical condition" (which involves some tearing to the backside of his tender regions..) that should cover up the attempted theft. Between the explanation, the tears of pain that's forming in his eyes and the vomit.inducing smell which makes him gag, Toby also tries to clean him self up, incase the boss happens to walk by.
You start explaining to the researcher about some kind of "medical condition", but you're obviously in too much distress to make a convincing argument [1]. Covered in sick and bloodstained, she orders you to stand and lower your pants to show her your wounded nether regions. Unfortunately she recognises the shards of test tube sticking out your backside immediately and phones the boss's internal number, and then phones the extension for security. They're both on their way. You deeply wish, amongst other things, that you didn't have tears forming in your eyes.
Well, at least you've probably spared your colleagues from the boss's 11am rounds!

WARNING: Your morale level indicates that you are close to depression. This will affect your ability to work.I run down the hallways screaming "FIRE, FIRE!"
OOC: I just realized this isn't so much a game as a vessel for the GM to convey the plight of the working (wo)man. 
You flee your desk and run out the office [5], sprinting down the hallway screaming "!!FIRE!!, !!FIRE!!". The handful of colleagues who were also in your office look up and look towards your burning workstation and also start screaming. One blindly panics and opens the window, jumping out in a flash, three more run out of the office after you.
As you run along screaming, other office doors open. Heads pop out of doorways, smoke starts pouring out of your former office's door, and not long after, your building, Green Four 20, is filled with the ringing of alarm bells.
The building is evacuated. It's a nice day outside.
Morale Boost! Nothing so exciting has happened for YEARS!

Daniel cleans his shirt one more time, rolls up the sleeves, and thinks happy thoughts as he does the deed.[/d]
Rolling up your sleeves, you stick your arm down the toilet, eyes shut and happy thoughts activated [3]. It takes longer than it really should as it seems stuck in pretty bad, and at one point you clumsily stumble forwards a bit and get it nearly up to your shoulder, but you get the job done. Just as you do, you hear the distant ringing of alarm bells from a neighbouring building.
Morale Drop! Feces under the fingernails!
Success! Unblocked a toilet!
Task Completed! Unblocked toilet!

Make an elaborate plan to look busy when the boss comes by again.
You start trying to devise an elaborate looking plan to look busy for the boss, but just as you think you've hit on something, the boss appears [1]!
BOSSCHECK!"JESUS MILLER. Just what the HELL do you think you're doing sitting about drinking coffee? I told you to goddamn get that filing done just twenty minutes ago and there's NO WAY in hell you've finished it already, there's HOURS worth. Get back down there and finish the job or I'm gonna take you up to my office for a formal written warning you useless goddamn hippy..."
Mid-rant his mobile goes off: he answers.
"What the hell? A goddamn fire? Professor Crack's due to arrive in around an hour JESUS CHRIST."
He leaves before you get a chance to reply.

"Thanks, sir," Satoshi said, glad for a break. He felt like he had been working all day! ...Yet it hadn't even been two hours. Time felt like it had flown when he was caught up in his work, repairing the lift, and it was a bit of a cruel joke that it actually hadn't taken any time at all. Maybe if I'm lucky I can get a promotion or a change... or whatever... to the Maintenance division. He did love repairing things. Ah, well. For now he would buckle down and do his job - which, right now, meant getting a coffee from the vending machine and sitting across from someone on their break. He nodded to Frederick companionably but said nothing since he didn't really know the man. Ah, jeez. I wish I had a newspaper or something. He looked about to see if someone had left one behind.
You get a coffee and take a sip as you walk to a seat in the break room with the radio playing in the background - it sounds like Accidental Toilet's latest Elkcore-folk hit "Vengeance Tyrannosaur".
Burning heart of bitter resentment!
Steamrollered by your deathly engine!You look around as you sit down, and spot a copy of today's local paper in the corner, and go to pick it up. Underneath there's a copy of Home Tinkerer magazine! You settle down listening to the music with your coffee as you read an excellent article on repairing home plumbing systems.
Elk of wrath! Elk of death!
Elk of bitter and putrid breath!Morale Boost! Diverting reading material!
Morale Boost! Cracking tune!
Success! Drank a coffee!
Task Completed! Drank coffee!

Uninstall the old keyboard! Get back to desk before boss is pissed. If caught, make up story about how I was saving the company money by dimming the brightness on monitors to save electricity.
You try to uninstall the old keyboard, but for all you tug on the USB cable connecting it to the back of the PC, you just can't get the damn thing out!
Morale Drop! Outwitted by a cable!
Fail! Shouldn't you have got that done by now?
Task Assigned! Help uninstall keyboard!
