8> Late at night, the boss insists you wear nothing but your bra and panties.

7> This is*worse* than a horror movie! Even a horror movie has to end *sometime*!

6> You walk through the billing department and tell me they aren’t all zombies.

5> The office virgin is always the first to get assigned to the new projects.

3> The recent project cancellation is due to strong competition, insufficient capitalization, poor market response and those meddlesome kids.

2> There’s one obvious course of action to take, but the people in charge insist on doing just the opposite.

and the Number 1 Sign Your Office Is Really a Horror Movie…

1> I started off on a team of 10, now it’s just me and I’m afraid to sleep.
