WALLY, THE STATUS REPORT THAT YOU EMAILED ME IS BLANK.

THAT'S BECAUSE EAGLES CAN'T TYPE.

THE MOTIVATIONAL POSTER IN THE BREAK ROOM SAYS I SHOULD BE LIKE AN EAGLE.

WHAT?

THE POINT OF THAT POSTER IS THAT YOUR SPIRIT SHOULD SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE WHILE YOU CONTINUE TO DO WOULDN'T I DIE IF MY SPIRIT LEFT MY BODY TO GO SOAR?

YOU'RE CONFUSING YOUR SPIRIT WITH YOUR SOUL.

WHILE YOUR SPIRIT IS SOARING, YOUR SOUL SHOULD REMAIN TRAPPED IN YOUR BODY, SLOWLY DECAYING WHILE YOU CREATE YOUR STATUS REPORT.

HUNNUMNE WONA.

WOULD IT CHANGE ANYTHING IF I GOT A POSTER THAT SAYS, "YOU WANT IT WHEN?!!"
