Thursday’s child has, apparently, far to go. But we have only about 36 little hours to go until the weekend, so grab these attractively-arrayed stair wires and hang in there. We’ve got your news headlines to make the time pass a little easier.

Remember, if you open this in a new window you can Alt Tab back to your work window when the boss walks by and look like you’re actually working. Furrow your brow if you can; if you look like you’re not enjoying yourself, they always think you’re working, trust me.

To make things more plausible, we are presenting the links in the form of interdepartmental memos. You’re welcome.
