I've been pretty bad about posting on here lately. I find that Facebook is a better media for whining about my lame job and internal struggles. That being said, my best homie, Joie Brown, insisted I start a blog about my fridge posts. I decided to give WordPress a go, since a lot of marketing/writing gigs require knowledge in that software.

I was not surprised when nobody here at the office remembered my birthday. I mean, most of them didn't know it in the first place, and I'm not one to fish for sentiments. The few I did tell and the few who may have known didn't mention anything. It was a quite and uneventful day, which it more than I could ask for. I will be even less shocked if ( Read more... )

I don’t remember what my least favorite sound used to be, probably bad intonation, but mark my words. I would rather hear a stampede of sixth-grade violinists sawing on a flat, open e-string than the repugnant ringing of this phone! Ugh!

So, Survivor got a funny compliment from one of the more peppy executives yesterday, and it cracked me up. He came up to her and said that something looked different about her. He's noticed lately that she seems more "stylish" and "hip". "You look great," he finally concluded after a mile-long string of the awkward flatteries. I know exactly what ( Read more... )

Okay. So, I have certain solicitors who call every day...every freakin’ day, and today two of the gentlemen came to the office. Of course, nobody would come out to see them, so they asked if they could pitch their product to me and “breathe a bit of [our] air.” After that, how could I refuse?! Out of their briefcase comes a giant, pink, baby bib ( Read more... )

In the last week, I think I've collectively had one good day, which isn't too shabby for me around here. There are some weeks when I don't have any positive highlights. There are three scenarios that made this week less terrible than normal, not including the fact that I took a three day weekend ( Read more... )

Just when I thought payroll couldn't be any more obnoxious and unappealing to my body and soul, it came to me on the same day I start my period. I have not had this much trouble completing a task since, well, ever. Not only was the boredom pushing my attention span to the brink of obliteration. My cranky mood made me unreasonably frustrated.

At one ( Read more... )

This week on of my favorite coworkers came back from maternity leave. She brought her six week old baby in yesterday and today! He is absolutely precious, so tiny and sweet. This lady is so funny, and she cracks me up. I shall name her K-Dawg. K-Dawg is very open and up front about things, in a cool way. She says things that would be awkward or ( Read more... )

This job is like The Song That Never Ends. It goes on and on, and it drives me absolutely bonkers. I think I'm actually starting to get depressed. I'm like one of those lame drug commercials, sighing and losing interest in fun stuff, like cartoons and games ( Read more... )

I hate doing payroll ( Read more... )
