I rather hate it when it's gray and ugly outside, even if it makes it easier to see. It just creates some kind of annoyed tension in the air.

My Izuru is on vacation again, so I guess I actually have to do some work. Woe is me.

I hope that mailing list is in order now, people have been asking a lot about it.
Reporters never shut up, do they?

Oh, does anyone want any spare posters~? Seems I ordered too many. Again.

Now the electricity is wonky as well.
Really now, there seem to be problems all the time.

Who's to blame, really?

See? I did tell you it was rude to discuss people's health status, did I not?

Never mind. What do you think of our new poster, Ran~chaaaan?
Thank you for modeling ♥~!

Now, now. What's the deal with discussing people's health?
Who cares about who's dying or not? It's not like the company will go under just because some of it's leaders have serious medical problems, now will it?

Shame on you. Really.

The lawn is starting to look more like a swamp then a lawn. Really, is there anything that works in this place? It almost makes me wonder about the management, really.

These rumors are also a bit too much. Really, have we not better things to do~? I'm sure our company president is doing just fine; that was a long time ago. Such a serious heart attack couldn't have left any lingering effects, could it?

I'm certain he has a good reason for never stepping out of his office these days.

[ooc: Strikes are made so hackable it's not even funny XD]

Looks like they finally dried up the second floor. Good work.
Let's not order water coolers from that company again.

I'm still looking for someone willing to model, by the way.
I'm not gonna pay you, but you'll get makeup and hair by a stylist, and photographed by a good photographer. Trying to keep it within the budget, here, and it's good for the company.

Anyone?

Let's NOT talk about the new rumors, shall we?
The press is breathing down my neck so badly that I don't need any air conditioning.
Sexual harassment AND we hire criminals? Really now. ♥

...speaking of that, if anyone actually does take their clothes off, I'm not going to cover it up for the press. It's bad enough for the company policy to see people wear shorts, seriously.

In other news, is anyone willing to model for SSI's new campaign?
I'm on a budget, and Kuchiki-sama is giving me the Kuchiki Cold Stare™, so I guess he's not up for it.

The company sure is busy today, isn't it? If it's not lawsuits and scandals, it's spring cleaning.

I~zu~ru, have you seen the files on the Daily Spirit's reporters? I need you to find it, update it with all the information that's available and put it on my desk as soon as possible.
They're annoyed again. I really don't understand why.

Ran~chan~! Do you want to catch a movie tonight?
Or are you busy with him?

[ooc: Strikeout is so deleted that it was never even written. XD ]

Oi.



Press conference today. Those who know they're supposed to attend, please be there on time.
The rest of you, behave in front of the reporters. They are everywhere.

I~zu~ru~! I need that powerpoint presentation now, and I hope everything is ready~

Beethoven was a rather amazing person, I must say.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend~?
I know I had.

So how does everyone feel about our big bad company eating up a smaller one?
Proud? Disgusted? Happy? Nothing at all?
More money down your pockets, and the press is more then happy to tell little lies.

...that reminds me. Press conference this Wednesday.
Be nice to the sheep.

I'm terribly bored.
Isn't Izuru back from that vacation, yet?

I found this caterpillar in the plant I got from Ise-san.
In winter. Odd.



I think I'll name it U-chan.

My, there's not a day without drama in this place, now is there?
No wonder we're such a popular place to work, hmm? ♥
All the gossip at SSI is enough to last a lifetime.

The elevators are still broken - must be a big problem, ne?
Seems most people at SSI are fit enough to walk up and down the stairs, however... with the exception of a certain secretary who had to abandon his hourly vending-machine run, and Ukitake-sama, who sounded like he was climbing a mountain the fourth time I saw him in the stairs today. Stubborn, stubborn.
Anyone else having troubles? It's only four floors, be happy we do not live in a building with over 100~ ♥

The press are all hot and bothered about this lawsuit; they really must be bored.
Is anyone else bored~?

I miss my Izuru. ♥

My, this is all dreadful and annoying, isn't it~?
I cannot picture Kurotsuchi-san as someone to steal designs. Do you?

Truth or not truth, it sure is raising questions~ ♥
The phone's been ringing all day, with idiots reporters in the other end, asking for tips.

We're in all the three newspapers; only Karakura Times is defending SSI.
The Daily Spirit is taking Hueco Mundo's side, and the Rukongai Gazette... well.. they're saying it was aliens who stole the design. I'm not sure if they're calling us aliens or clearing our name.

Let's hope this little stunt does not damage SSI, hmmm?

Watch out for reporters, people.
They've been snooping around.

...and why aren't the elevators working?
One would think at least one of them would be operational.
Let's hope no one has a heart attack in the stairs, shall we~? ^__^

Looks real good in the window.
Thank you, Ise-san~~ ♥

...and a thank you to the people who did the survey!
The press loved the statistics. Fools them every time, hmm?
Thought they'd know better.

Now, I got my files stuck in my backup disk here, and I don't know what to do...
I must say I miss Ishida-kun.

The weather is boring. All gray and soggy.
The snow reminds me of bad oatmeal.
It's almost like one of those cartoon-cliche mondays, isn't it~?

If anyone is still interested in taking the survey, it's in my last post.

Things I've learned from the survey is that some people are sensitive to certain words used, have humor on middle-school level, SSI's products (that pays our wages, people!) is expensive, and most people use some kind of SSI product or know people who do.

Isn't the power of statistics grand?
That would mean that even though people think it's expensive, they're still using them~~ ♥

Woe, my little Izuru is on vacation. What ever will I do without him, hmm?

The press is being just rowdy lately. First this little legal problem with one of our fine employees, then the release of the Jigokuchou Cell Phone. Nifty little thing, that.

They're all over it, so I thought I'd set up a little company survey, hmm? ^____^
I'm sure you all will like it~ ♥

Name:

How long have you been working at SSI?

Do you use any SSI products?

Would you recommend them to friends and family?

Go forth my minions, do my work for me~~ ^__^

No news are good news, hmmm? ♥

It's another scandal waiting to happen, shhh~

The press knows nothing about the explosion, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
I spend six hours in a press conference yesterday, explaining what did not happen~! ♥
What I really do not need is people talking about said thing that did not happen, when the press conference was over and people were piling out like the sheep they are.

People really should be more careful, ne~? I hope they learned their lesson.
We don't want to give the company a bad reputation, now do we? ^__________^

I~zu~ru~? Be a good boy and forward a few messages for me.
The Daily Spirit seems to keep misunderstanding what I'm saying.
I really thought that a newspaper should have people understanding simple words, hmmm~?

It's Friday... drinks, anyone?

Well, now. I was starting to wonder if Kurotsuchi and his scientists were losing their touch.
I must say I'm impressed. It's been a while without a workplace accident.

I guess we all need to cash in on our bets now.
Who voted for six months, hmm? Looks like you won ten bucks.

Oh, and whomever owns the blue-gray car on the employee parking lot?
Looks like some kids pelted it with snow balls. Tsk, tsk.

So everything is back to the usual? New year, new messes.
I only wonder what will happen first~! Nothing surprises me about this place, anymore.

I have a meeting with a woman from Karakura Times today. I do hope she won't storm off like last time. Really, reporters are so very sensitive these days.

Oh, and I~zu~ru? Be a good boy and get the lady what she wants when she arrives, will you?
