What is that ball of string thingy that appears on the desk sometimes? Why is it there?
A. That is NOT a ball of string. It is a special utilitarian sculpture often found in office environments known as a rubber band ball. If and when it appears on your Metapet’s desk, it is because your Metapet has either bought it, received it as a gift, or spent long hours constructing it for the sheer pleasure of doing so. Q. My pet is sending personal emails on company time. And some of them are downright nasty! Others are ridiculously romantic, and prove that he does not exactly have work on the brain. What should I do?
