Hey! I used to work for that guy!

The problem with working for rodents is (wait for it…) they pay you peanuts.

2 victoreia 09.21.09 at 11:17 pm

@the bug man: You must have been the guy two cubicles over from me!

(And…*groan*…peanuts….)

This is so awesome, what a great little guy!

I bet his bedding is made out of recycled TPS reports.

Mr. Manager is a little weird himself. He’s crouching on his desk with his chair knocked over on the floor behind him.

I can see where this might make his unfortunate employees want to tell him only what they think he wants to hear.

He’s all “It’s not necessary that they like me, only that they fear me.”

11 Kenny G 09.22.09 at 1:02 am

Mister Manager’s crouching on his desk cos he’s probably pooped all over his floor. He’s looking pretty cross. I hope I’m not in trouble.

12 Hon Glad 09.22.09 at 1:36 am

Mr Managers says ” I didn’t get where I am today, by being nice to people. I had to tread on a few competitors along the way. So, remember to keep in the loop think outside the box and get all your Ducks in a row.”

13 serfer0 09.22.09 at 2:38 am

Yes, I like this. Animal friends contributing to the family income. In these belt-tightening times we can leave no revenue stream untapped!

14 Kellichu 09.22.09 at 3:20 am

awwwww the little grumpy look on his wee face! So cute.

15 Sam 09.22.09 at 4:26 am

Mister Manager gets extra points if he’s referencing Arrested Development.

16 Rachael 09.22.09 at 4:30 am

Mister Manager is on the warpath again. Heads are gonna roll!

17 Paul 09.22.09 at 4:49 am

Mister Manager definitely looks like Penske material.

18 metsakins 09.22.09 at 4:59 am

Who are these people who make furniture for there rodents? (and where can I place an order)

19 Saffron 09.22.09 at 5:26 am

Hey I did not see this particular episode of Mad Men yet, so don’t post any spoliers about what happens with the Thompson account.
Thnx.

20 AmyJ 09.22.09 at 5:30 am

I think Mister Manager getting ready to eat his desk.

21 Wolfie 09.22.09 at 5:41 am

He looks so sooooft…. I love working for a softie!

22 TW 09.22.09 at 5:45 am

Mr. Manager “Team! TEAM! T – E – A – M! Team! I love saying TEAM!”
(brought to you courtesy of “The IT Crowd”)

23 J. 09.22.09 at 5:45 am

Who says unemployment doesn’t bring out people’s creative side?

That is just… brilliant.

Now we know what’s inside Intel!

24 ding 09.22.09 at 5:52 am

Mr. Manager is perfectly round!

25 Cambridge_Rat_Mom 09.22.09 at 5:53 am

But it’s such a good weird!

26 fft5305 09.22.09 at 5:56 am

Ok, how many people’s bosses actually sit ON their desks? Shouldn’t there be a little tiny chair there?

Btw, Meg, I think that might be an old Texas Instruments. Looks like the old TI-35 I had in high school. Uh oh. I think I just heard the Geezer Alarm go off…

27 gizmo 09.22.09 at 6:11 am

Paul @ #17: You are aware…

28 Marianne 09.22.09 at 6:29 am

I agree with Sam #15!!!

29 Andi from NC 09.22.09 at 6:34 am

The look on his face is priceless – he’s so “scary Bossman”!!

30 Lerrinus 09.22.09 at 6:59 am

Awww, too cute!!!!! :-)

31 Justin Fair 09.22.09 at 7:04 am

awwwwwww

32 pyrit 09.22.09 at 7:12 am

Mister Manager’s teeny fists have, “system error!”, written all over ‘em.

33 ding 09.22.09 at 7:34 am

That is a beautiful charcoal grey suit. I would really like to see a striped tie on Mr. Manager. Just sayin’ . . . .

34 Baykon Cheezburger 09.22.09 at 7:39 am

“Because I’m Mr. Manager!”
“It’s just Manager”
“But you said…”
“Doesn’t matter who.”

35 Lu 09.22.09 at 7:40 am

“Computer says nooooo……”

36 AmyJ 09.22.09 at 7:56 am

Thanks for cleaning up my sloppiness, Ed!

37 Theresa 09.22.09 at 8:02 am

Mr Manager seems perfectly spherical!!! I’ve had bosses like that!

38 bee 09.22.09 at 8:03 am

and i am one of them!!!! ladies you have outdone yourselves, this is so something i would have done when i still had hamsters

39 JustMME 09.22.09 at 8:05 am

He’s cute, but he looks like a *micro* manager to me….

[LOL, naturally - Ed.]

40 xandria21 09.22.09 at 8:06 am

Do you think Mr. Manager could get my dog a job?

41 Catnap 09.22.09 at 8:18 am

Mr. Manager Gerbil is sooooo cute!

Where’s his mouse? Does he use a touch pad instead?

42 kittyadventures 09.22.09 at 8:24 am

Oh Dear Peeps you have me rolling with laughter this morning and I have not even gone to work yet.

Of course Mr Manager is not a good manager if he has not managed to work Synergy, at least twice, into his speech to the office, at the morning meeting.
Then he is worth his weight in gold… okay maybe worth more than his weight in gold since he is a hamster and weighs next to nothing

43 Sprock 09.22.09 at 8:27 am

Mr. Manager is angry because you forgot to include the cover sheet on the TPS report.

44 Fleur 09.22.09 at 8:42 am

Mr. Manager is super adorable!

Where should I drop of my resume? I’d like to work for him =]

45 Katrina 09.22.09 at 8:55 am

I see our work-a-day hero popping through his desk, rather than setting up it like a nest. Yes? Ah, whichever, he is very cute.

46 AB 09.22.09 at 9:45 am

We just say manager.

47 Corion 09.22.09 at 10:02 am

For those of you that have no idea what Arrested Development is or what people here in the comments are referencing, here is the clip on Hulu:

48 MeganQ 09.22.09 at 10:25 am

Mister Manager is indeed named after our favorite banana stand manager.

49 MaggieBee 09.22.09 at 10:29 am

OMG lol, you people crack me up!!! Super lol to JohnnieCanuck and the tipped over chair….. XD

50 BrisaE 09.22.09 at 10:33 am

The internet called us weird! But the truth is..Mister Manager bought that from Ikea!

51 BB/VA 09.22.09 at 11:59 am

I did not have the privilege of working for Mr. Manager. However, I was employed by the Crimson Permanent Assurance (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) at one point in my life.

Sadly, I was laid off prior to the rebellion.

52 Von Zeppelin 09.22.09 at 12:18 pm

Mr. Manager dreams of the day when he becomes Mr. Vice President, and gets the better quality office with the wood-grain cardboard furniture.

53 luscher 09.22.09 at 12:28 pm

Mr. Manager’s computer has crashed … that’s how cute he is

54 sky's mom 09.22.09 at 12:48 pm

“Have you seen my stapler?”

55 laurie 09.22.09 at 3:42 pm

Aww! I love all these hamster photos!! I hope one day my Hambina will be famous too :

sorry for the shameless plug…i guess every pet owner thinks theirs is the cutest…but with Hambina it’s true ! :)

56 Queen of Dork 09.22.09 at 6:18 pm

Meg, the “boop boop beep boop” on the computer… :) LOL!
Mr. Manager looks so cutely grouchy but I still wish my boss was that cute! (Mine is just a grouchy poop stain).

57 Messica 09.22.09 at 6:26 pm

Weird… And AWESOME!!!

58 Queen of Dork 09.22.09 at 7:03 pm

Mr. Manager’s demeanor has intimidated me so much that I will work on the Thompson account all night. NO SLEEP FOR ME! (said in the Sienfield Soup Guy’s voice).

59 Leslie (NTA) 09.23.09 at 5:43 am

@ Catnap:

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL (etc.)

60 wowy 09.23.09 at 6:08 am

omg so cute. Mr. Manager can fire me any time!

61 Kristabelle 09.23.09 at 10:11 am

Remember, there’s always money in the banana stand.

62 Maribeth 09.23.09 at 1:56 pm

That’s some strange funky linoleum on Mr. Manager’s floor!

63 Katrina 09.24.09 at 11:25 am

Laura, yes Hambina is very cute, such a pretty color, too!

Hooray for the “Two Week’s Notice” ref.
