Conversation I Just Had With the Rest of the Editorial Staff at D Magazine
ME: Hey, I have an important question about the January issue, which we start shipping in a matter of days.
ME: Oh, right. I’m the only one here, because Krista and Nancy took time off and Tim is playing golf in pants that make him look like Henchman No. 4 in The Joker’s gang.

To be fair, Sara Reiss is here, but she’s on the other side of the wall, and it screwed up my joke — if that’s what you want to call it — anyway. Creative license.
Also, it’s not really a wall so much as it is a short divider delineating different work nodes. I purposely shot it low, so as to not get anyone else in the shot, especially Sarah, as her presence — right on the other side of Nancy’s desk — would have ruined the joke. Again, if that’s what you want to call it.
Okay, so there ARE actually two people in the shot, now that I look at it again. Well, one in the first photo and one in the second but I think you can gather that I am referring to the entire desk triptych as “the shot.” Or The Shot, if you prefer more capitalization and less punctuation. Which, I used to, but then James Frey happened and all of a sudden random capitalization was a crutch or whatever.
In your defense, I was running around trying to offload those damn cookies. It was a funny bit, though.
but still not in my chair…which means not at my desk. And anyway, I HAD just gotten in after spending the morning with “hostile pretzel guy” which is where the cookies came from.
Ah, the circle of life.

“and Tim is playing golf in pants that make him look like Henchman No. 4 in The Joker’s gang”
That makes my Top 10 All-Time Allusions List, man.
This is how my 10 year old tells a joke.
UNGUARDED WINE IN PIC 3.
@TLS: Highest compliment.
How do you guys work with one monitor? I have three and still don’t have enough screen space to fill all the hard work that I do when I’m not mindlessly commenting on blogs.
OK, more entertaining… Whose desk is it?
My guess:
#1= Tim
#2= Krista
#3= Nancy
all of which are neater than my space currently
@Paul: Nailed it. My desk is more than likely messier than yours.
Someone on a magazine’s staff doesn’t use a Mac?
@Paul
Not like it’s very hard, with the name appearing when you hover your mouse over the pic or anything.
And Tim could use some pointers from Krista about cleanliness.
Nancy’s note-to-self to “save” is hilarious.
I like the bottle of hand lotion on Tim’s desk still there from the contestant selection phase of the Dallas’ Most Beautiful Women contest.
Shot a 95 at Northwood, if you must know. And yet still somehow won money. Pants did the trick apparently.
Yaaaa…. but in Krista’s defense, doesn’t she usually sleep there? Mayhaps a day off is merited. IJS.
Tim, thanks for saving all your best shots for the final six holes.
Wait…Wick gets a full office with casting couch, wet bar and personal toilet, but the staff can’t get cube walls higher than 3 feet? Sheesh.
