My poor little blog. I admit I have not been keeping you as updated as I used to. But there have been some big changes going on in my life lately! So, here's a little timeline of my ups and downs over the past few months...

July 20 - My house is majorly robbed. Thankfully, none of us were home at the time, but all of our small electronics were ( Read more... )

This afternoon at my office we were graced with a singing telegram from Elvis! Mr. R’s wife ordered it for his birthday. And I, sitting at the front desk, got the best seat in the house. He was wearing a sequined semi-see-through white jumpsuit, unzipped halfway down to reveal his ample body hair. He played an Irish Reel on the violin and sang ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my first official day in my new "Sales Assistant" position at work. For the past year & a half I've been the Office Manager/Receptionist. But when my jobshare partner quit a couple months ago, they decided to hire a new OM and bump me up to Sales Assistant. I'm still keeping my part-time hours, but now I have my own office with a ( Read more... )

When you answer phones for a living, as I do, you get pretty good at weeding out the important calls from the non-important ones. The telemarketers from the clients. But every once in a while, there are those people who just like to throw you off balance and keep you on your toes ( Read more... )

The company I work for has just launched their new website and it's so well done, I had to share it with all of you. They hired an ad agency to do it, and the video segments they put together are so funny and well done. MSM is a tradeshow exhibit company, which means we design, build and ship different booths to tradeshows. It is also an official " ( Read more... )

1. Saturday was a beautiful day for our Apple Cider party. We had a good group that went apple picking, and then had about 40 people over to our house for a party afterwards. I made 5 desserts and other people brought a bunch of yummy things as well. Plus I made homemade applesauce with the apples we picked, and we fried 3 turkeys. I stayed inside ( Read more... )

I know a bunch of you out there are musicians, so maybe you can help me. My team at work is doing a presentation lunch this Friday and our theme is “Happy Hour”. We’d like to put together a playlist of songs that we can play while people are eating, songs that have to do with being happy. So far we’ve got ( Read more... )

You know where you don't want to be when it's 100 degrees out? At at team-building event for your job. On a golf course. Being a spotter at a charity tournament where you have to tell the foursomes when it's safe to play through. Except you never have to tell them anything because there's never two foursomes at your hole at the same time and they ( Read more... )

There’s this guy at my office who’s one of those fun-loving-jokester-really-nice-guy kind of guys, you know? So today, I was entering some employees’ travel profiles into our company’s travel system and here’s what his says ( Read more... )

Today I used the word "gajillion" in business conversation.

"Could you please call this person back? She's called for you like five gajillion times," I said. What am I, 23?

I have so much love for Big Love. This week's episode was the best one yet. Chloe Sevigny is so fun to watch in her "not the best, not the youngest" role of second wife, and ( Read more... )
