VOTE FOR YOUR NEW TEA FLAVORS |

Hey guys. I've been hearing grumblings about the tea selection and I'm willing to throw two new flavors into the rotation. I'm keeping English Breakfast and the Sleepy Bear tea because everyone seems to like those, but I'm getting rid of the green tea that nobody ever drinks and also the orange pekoe, which somebody altered on the box to say Orange Pukoe. I got the hint. So, without further ado, here are the five new options to choose between. Pick your favorite two and stop by my desk to let me know.
1. Nutcracker Delite. This tea is supposed to taste like Christmas. It kind of smells like gingerbread, but personally I think that's a stretch. It's very cinnamon-y, though, so if you like cinnamon, this might be a good choice.
2. Berries and Cream. I don't know about the cream part so much, but it's definitely heavy on the berries. I don't know exactly which berries it tastes like, but I'm thinking raspberry mostly.
3. Passionfruit. We had "Tropical Breeze" a while back and this one is pretty similar. People seemed to like it for about a month, then the craze kind of died down. If you vote for Passionfruit, keep in mind that we'll have it for at least six months so don't vote for it if it's just going to be a passing fad again.
4. Earl Grey. Classic. Not much more to say.
5. Peach White Tea. White tea is supposed to be really good for you. I have no idea why, but I've seen commercials that say that, so if you want a healthy tea, this is it. Also, the peach flavor is really good. I know I'm not supposed to do this, but this one is by far my favorite and if you vote for this, it would make me really happy, especially if you don't vote for Berries and Cream. I realize this is inappropriate, but Peach White Tea is so much better than Berries and Cream. If you appreciate me, you'll vote for Peach. It's really just better. |

REMINDER TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK |

 I know it's only October and early for a Daylight Savings Time reminder, but last year I forgot to remind you and everyone forgot to remind me, so I wanted to get an early jump ahead -- no pun intended -- on things this year. For Daylight Savings Time, roll your clocks BACK ONE HOUR on the first Sunday in November. We all know what happened last year, but for those of you who forgot, I didn't come into work on the Monday after we rolled the clocks back, which is not my fault because my clock isn't made in America and doesn't know about Daylight Savings Time. I now have a clock that observes Daylight Savings Time, so I will be at work on that Monday, just like you should be.
To recap: Daylight Savings Time means you move your clocks back one hour the first Sunday in November. If you miss Monday, it will be counted as a personal day.

BOCCE BALL ANYONE? |

If you've ever been to Italy or studied Italian culture at Cornell, you know how crazy awesome bocce ball is. It's the ultimate in "aiming sports."  There's a tourney coming up in McDade Park and I want to get a team together so Dunder Mifflin can rock it out. If you're interested, let me know ASAP. Once we get the team sorted out, we can start practicing, which will most likely be four times a week at my pad after work (I've got an awesome courtyard outside my apartment). I've already got a sweet design for our t-shirts from my ex-girlfriend and I know a guy that makes custom headbands, too. This tournament is going to ROCK, so polish up your pallinos and let's get ready to bocce!

 After personally conducting a cost-benefit analysis, I have concluded that the company can no longer afford to be wasting its money providing you with free tissues. If you are a frequent tissue-user (I'm looking at you, Phyllis), you can choose to purchase a personal box of tissues or follow my example by bringing your own handkerchief into the office. Before you pass judgment, let me remind you that a hankey is a great way to be environmentally friendly. It also serves as a reminder of times past. My hankey is a family heirloom, passed down from Schrute to Schrute for generations. Every time I use it, I think back to the time when my paternal grandfather used it back in the old country. Once in a long while, I'll blow my nose and smell the rich aroma of ancient Bavarian beet fields nestled into the fabric of my hankey. I look at its frayed, tattered edges and breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I'm carrying around a piece of history that's helping me save the future.
