Hop to it, hoomans!

Good morning, my favorite hoomans! It’s Kenny here, your fluffy alarm clock and resident workplace wisdom dispenser. Hope you’ve all had your morning carrots — we’ve got a busy week to hop through!

This 4-day workweek thing better involve unlimited treats or I’m raisin’ some serious carrot concerns.

First up, this ‘four-day work week’ nonsense. Look, I’m all for more nap time, but let’s be real. You hoomans can barely handle five days without losing your pellets. Now you want to cram it all into four? Ha! I’ll believe it when I see it. Just remember, whether it’s four days or five, those TPS reports won’t file themselves. My verdict? Approach with caution, like you would a suspicious-looking carrot.

Now, onto the hot topic in our cozy burrow — that Gladiator II trailer. Oh, my sweet summer children, I know you’re all aflutter about Pedro Pascal in a toga (though personally, I prefer a nice fuzzy onesie). But 47 viewings? That’s excessive even for a bunny’s appetite!

Ugh, another helmetless Pedro Pascal sword fight? Don’t get me wrong, I get the appeal, human, but this rabbit prefers hay over Hollywood.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good epic. The first Gladiator had some dreamy meadow scenes that still make my little cotton tail twitch. But this sequel? Let’s just say I’m withholding my carrot of approval until I see some proper veggie representation. And honey, that November release date? In bunny time, that’s like waiting for carrots to grow! My verdict? It looks… interesting. But maybe we could alternate with some nature docs? Mama needs her meadow fix!

Ugh, another field of dreams with nothing to eat. Maybe next time?

And let’s talk about the real issue here — the volume. Every time that booming trailer voice says ‘This November…’, my fur stands on end. I’m trying to nap here, people! November? That’s practically a lifetime away in bunny years! My verdict? It looks… fine. But maybe we can watch it on mute next time? Or better yet, how about we put on some nice, relaxing nature documentaries instead? You know, something with meadows. And bunnies. Now that’s quality entertainment!

Lastly, a gentle reminder about office etiquette, my darlings. These adorable ears aren’t just for show — they’re sensitive! The symphony of crunching and slurping in your open offices is like a lawnmower through a lettuce patch. How about we save the loud munching for the break room? Or better yet, take a leaf out of my book — eat quick, quiet, and green. Your co-workers (and your waistline) will thank you.

Ugh, giant hairless space bunnies and their space shawarma? No thanks. Give me some peace and quiet with a nice, leafy salad any day.

That’s all for now, my lovelies. This bunny’s got a busy schedule of napping, followed by more napping. Remember, I’ve got my eye on you… when I’m not catching my beauty sleep, that is. Hoppy Monday, and catch you next week for more cuddles and critiques!

I better wake up to treats in this bowl, hooman.
