I’m drinking some cheap French Roast coffee, the kind they have at my office. I take a shortcut through the bathroom to the kitchen, clicking my heels on the little square tiles, and disturbing the anonymous folks biding time in the stalls (that’s what I do when I have no other way to waste the hours-I escape in there, spending 10 minutes just ( Read more... )

Ok kids, let’s wake up and smell the coffee. I know that this is something we all briefly proffer attention but subsequently brush over because, I admit, it is simply not worth our time. But I have time on my hands now and would like to put it to use by pointing out how absolutely asinine some people’s away messages and profiles are. Let us now ( Read more... )

I hate when the whole world bears its weight upon your shoulders. Especially when the shoulders seem so small and frail.

So this morning I woke up for work just like any other morning. I was especially excited that today is Friday and I get off at 1pm. Plus Christian is coming to Boston-tonight we’re going to a free presentation of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc at the Hatch Shell and tomorrow we plan on heading to the Museum of Science to see the ( Read more... )

As I sat here at Little, Brown on a Tuesday morning and ate my mini snack baggie full of Kix, I realized, “Wow, working in an office SUCKS.” Now, usually this mentality flits around my mind every week or so, threatening the strong countenance I have built up from waking up at 7am every weekday and forcing myself on an hour commute each way to the ( Read more... )

Recently I have developed a love for Johnny Depp. I know, I know, I’m about 7 or 8 years behind in this discovery. Actually, I’m not even sure if that is the correct time frame. I simply never knew about Johnny. I missed the bandwagon, as I did with New Kids on the Block and apparently leg warmers (then again, I did live in scorching AZ). I ( Read more... )

I was a live journal virgin. Until just now. I honestly have no idea how this is going to look once I post it, nor do I know whether I am using the correct formatting. Maybe I should be using some cryptic html. format. All I wanted was something to occupy me at work. I thought it could be cute and pretty and every time I opened my livejournal ( Read more... )
