Last 10 Minutes Of Work Day “The Worst,” Says Office Assistant


CLEVELAND—Office Assistant Amanda Hallady said the last 10 minutes of the work day are “pretty much unbearable,” and that oftentimes, she’ll spend those last few minutes staring at her 1973 model Swingline stapler.

“When 4:50 rolls around, it’s like I’m stuck in some sort of time warp,” Hallady said. “It’s even worse when the girl in the next cubicle spends those last 10 minutes slurping on a frappuccino that was pretty much empty two hours ago. Nothing’s going to come out, chica. Give it up, for God’s sake.”

When Hallady was asked what specifically was so terrible about the last 10 minutes of the work day, she replied, “Are you f-ing kidding me? Haven’t you ever worked?” Then she threw her 1973 model Swingline stapler at the reporter and was charged with aggravated assault. The stapler suffered minor injuries but is expected to be okay, since it's made of lead and weighs like 70 pounds.
