According to some bored psychologist out there, January 24, 2011 is the most depressing day of the year. As I look at out the window and a winter snow storm brews up yet again, I ask myself, “Why can’t I hibernate?” Perhaps this is clearly a symptom of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and I should [...]
Pictures sometimes say a thousand word. In this instance, this picture only says 16: “Oh look, a light at the end of the tunnel! Oh, nevermind…that’s just my coworker’s office.”
It’s the first work day of 2011. Am I waking up an extra hour early to tighten up those love handles at a pilates class? Am I spending 30 minutes in the morning to learn Italian for a hopeful trip to Italy this Spring? Am I giving myself enough time to cook a delicious breakfast [...]
I’ve compiled a list of my favorite tweets from 2010, just in time for the new year! Check out the highlights-
Ladies and gentleman of the cubicles, I got what I asked for..a vacation, I mean jury duty. So for the remainder of this week, I’ll be bringing my serious face to where it counts. I didn’t want to abandon you in the office today, so I thought I’d pass something some holiday cheer for your [...]
I’m beginning to think that even the US government understands how much my jobs sucks. How else can one explain the third attempt to get me into jury duty during the past two years? It’s been a game of tag as I’ve moved from college in Virginia to three different apartments in Queens, Manhattan, and [...]
Ho! Ho! Noooooooooooooo! The Secret Santa game has officially started in the office and I haven’t even had a chance to regain a little sanity over Thanksgiving weekend. Between chatter of, “I’ll tell you if you tell me?” and “what are you going to buy?”, all I can think about is how I promised myself [...]
I just came to the realization that I’ve never had a job in which I’ve had my own voicemail box. When I was a giddy college grad ready to enter the workforce, “making it” in my book was getting to the point where I could travel the world, own multiple pieces of property, and driving [...]
In the middle of a body cleanse? Good for you. Annoy the hell out of your friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc. Leave it out of the office please.
Believe it or not, I’ve already had a dream job in my lifetime. And believe it or not, I’m not being sarcastic. During my glory days (college obviously), I worked full time as a student videographer for a nationally ranked football team. Since I write anonymously, it’s probably best I keep my alma mater secret [...]
Store all of that valuable information while giving back to Mother Earth. And you thought bamboo was just for panda bears….
The phrase, “the third time is the charm” gets me every time, especially when it comes to social experiments (and punchlines). If you’re a loyal reader (Hi, Mom), then you know that over the past few weeks I’ve been conducting my own social experiments in the office, simply for my own entertainment. I owe this [...]
If you fill an empty jar, they will come. That’s the suggestion I imagine Jesus would give to his disciples if he had an office job. To recap the results from my first social experiment last week, the presence of candy corn at the front desk created a mixed bag of emotions: giddiness, disgust, confusion, [...]
