I have just seen Harley’s statement regarding the ongoing “practical testing” of Pepper’s recently recovered tennis ball.
Whilst I am naturally delighted that Pepper has been reunited with her favourite ball, I would like to remind Harley that the Office is presently dealing with a constitutional matter of considerable importance, making “practical testing” during office hours entirely unacceptable.
I further note that Form REC-14 (Departmental Recreational Activity Notification) was not submitted prior to the full Department’s relocation to Chester Racecourse.
I therefore must insist that the current game of fetch is concluded, the necessary paperwork completed retrospectively, and that all members of the Department of Human Behaviour & Statistical Analysis return to their proper duties immediately.
Reasonable celebration is one thing; abandoning one’s departmental duties during an ongoing constitutional crisis is quite another.
I would also like to note that I am disappointed by Toffee’s performance in her Parasite Awareness course. I expected better.
I trust no further action will be necessary.
