Ouch!
Hey all:
One of the people who helped contribute to working daze as the real life partial inspiration to Roy got hurt pretty bad on Sunday. He was up on a ladder at his stepmother's house cutting down a branch with a chain saw. This real life Roy (we will call him Ron cause that's his name) succeeded in bringing down the branch, unfortunately (I think you can see where this is going) the branch also brought him down. He fell 20 ft, luckily, and luck is a very relative term here the chain saw didn't land on him.
Of course even without getting clocked by the saw he still received significant damage and had to be airlifted to a nearby trauma center. He is on the road to recovery now from: two broken heels, a broken ankle, a broken wrist (many bones in the wrist) and a couple of cracked vertebrate.
Feel free to post your "get well soon" wishes.
He is still texting and sending photos from his Iphone but finding it is very difficult with one hand.

BTW
When I mention Roy's quest to 1000 followers I will count both Twitter followers and blogger followers. I am thank flexible (i.e. desperate.) The more "we" get the more books I will give out.
Times are tight right now, I know a lot of people who have been "downsized" or "laid off". Being a freelancer I can't technically get laid off but people can cut back on their book buying and entertainment spending. Therefore I need to do more than ever to keep interest up.
Working Daze will be reflecting the tighter economy soon. Hmmm....
I just hope the country is on the road to recovery. I think it is. But then again I write cartoons and funny sci fi books for a living.

Quest41KFollowers
Hello:
We (well mostly me since Roy is basically a part of me and Scott doesn't blog) are now calling Roy's quest for 1000 twitter Followers: Quest41KFollowers.
Follow Roy at: http://twitter.com/WorkingDaze_Roy
If the goal is reached by mid June 10 (or maybe more) lucky people who commented on the blog will win free books. What books: well my sci fi books. I have a bunch of them to give away.
Now why should people follow Roy:
1) He doesn't exist yet he is still more like you than Ashton Kutcher.
2) You want geeks to be on your side.
3) He's witty but modest.
4) All the cool geeks are doing it.

1000 followers for Roy
Okay I really want to get Roy over 1000 followers on Twitter.
So here's the deal, if Roy gets over 1000 followers by the start of June 15th. I will give away 1 copy of one of my newer books to 5 random readers who respond to this post.

Office Bathrooms
This week's Working Daze will center on Rita's brilliant idea to make the office's bathrooms "pay for use". Yes pay toilets are not a new concept but 1) this never stopped Rita she never claims to be creative and 2) they are new to office environment.
At least I believe they are new.
Hopefully it won't become a real "money saving" trend.

Last week a trek week
Why did we do an entire week focused on Star Trek? Well for one thing it's a big geek event we thought Roy and Jay and company would be focused on this movie. Secondly, apparently Star Trek had some influence on my choice to become a sf writer. Thirdly, the gags just seemed to flow. Forthly, I don't really have a forth thing, I just wanted to write forthly.
