Based on the poster board / cue card sized things he's holding, I'm going to guess Love Actually.

Wilford* Brimley. But I still enjoyed your joke. :)
I wandered in here from all, so I'm afraid I don't know anything about baseball.
But I'm pretty sure QT is for QuikTrip, a convenience store found in some regions of the US (mostly Midwest and South I think).
If high doses of caffeine make you feel relaxed, you may want to look into taking an ADHD assessment, and getting some medication. This is not medical advice. Just a suggestion.
As the article points out, pretending to do work and look busy isn't new.
It happens for a lot of reasons, and I'm sure I'm leaving some out:
- I'm constantly overworked, and pretending to work will keep something new from being pushed into my lap.
- I hate this company and I'm collecting a paycheck until I can find something better. Who cares if I'm actually working.
- My supervisor has been told by the higher ups that if the workers don't look busy when they walk by, then we certainly don't need any more workers (despite the fact that the workload has natural fluctuations and we do need more people).
- I only get paid so much. If there aren't any tasks for me today, great. They're not going to get me to ask for more work, or work beyond my job description.
- I'm only doing just enough work to not get hassled or fired (a la Office Space).
Nah, I don't think Office Space had a "Jim" character. My bet would be The Office TV show, American version.
Nope. Especially not in Texas in the summertime. The pipes are close enough to the surface that they warm up (unless you have well water, which is always cold).
How? Serious question. My bf is having this exact problem. Daily. It's bad.
Ooh, I'll play! I'm 40 years old. I write checks every month to pay my rent, which has to be delivered to their office either by snail mail or in person (no online payment option).
The last time I saw a dedicated fax machine was my retail job in 2008.
The last time I used a deposit slip was three years ago when I deposited a gallon bag of change in person with a bank teller.
Yes, and well before that too. It meant an unmarried adult woman over the age of _____. (Here is where the discrepancy lies.) It was always true for an elderly woman. But could sometimes be applied all the way down to age 30, especially if you go far enough back that you were expected to be married in your 20s. (And if you weren't, there must be something wrong with you.)

I read books. Always fiction. If I want to escape humans (almost) entirely, fantasy books.
If you want something light, usually fun, and almost guaranteed to end happily, there's supernatural romance.
