Office Matters

Ok my faithful readers, both of you, I have decided to give you a day in the life of me. Since everyone knows what DJ's workplace looks like or at least part of it - on the game days (I'm still working on him to take a camera to the training room and start snapping pictures, don't get your hopes up on that one) - I thought you should know where I spend the majority of my life. You might want to run and fill up your coffee so that you have something to keep you awake. That's my warning. So don't blame me when you wake up and can't explain the sudden onset of drowsiness and then waste all sorts of money on doctors trying to determine the cause of your random weariness only to find that you are perfectly healthy - you just have a lame friend who shows pictures of gray walls taken on her low quality camera phone. Anyway, let's get started...

I've been "upgraded" from a cubicle in Albuquerque to a cubicle WITHIN an office in Knoxville. Yessssss.

As you walk a few steps and pivot, you see this…

A step toward my desk and now you’re almost ready to sit…

What’s that? My phone is ringing! I better get it…

“Oh, I billed the client 5 million dollars and I was only supposed to bill them 4 million dollars? That's bad.”

“Are you sure that was me???”

“Oh, look, a bug. Gotta go.”

Ook, time to turn on some tunes. (Sorry especially for these terrible pictures. A girl's doing her best with the resources she's got. And while I'm apologizing, sorry for the terrible formatting on this post. You would not believe the problems I've been having trying to post today!)

Pandora.com. Anyone heard of Pandora? It’s basically the best. You choose what artists you like and it creates a radio station with those artists and artists similar to them from some Music Genome Project or whatever. If you don’t like a song, give it a thumbs down and it will change to the next song. These are my radio stations.

Cross off a day on the ol’ calendar. I do this for sanity's sake. I like to see that days are going by cause sometimes I forget when I'm sitting in my office with no windows.

Ok, time to get to work.

This is my new computer. It’s giving me problems. When I first got it, I said “Computer, you and me can be best friends or we can be worst enemies. It’s your choice.” It chose worst enemies. Nuff said.

So here's a funny story. I walked into my office the other day and I noticed this.

Apparently the maids didn't know whether they should throw this box away. But how much more obvious could it get??

So I took my note and stuck it on top of their note as a way to say “Hello! You can take it away! Remove this box from the premises! Leave! Be gone!” It’s still sitting there.

So that's a day in the life of me. Anyone feel free to come join me. I know it looks fun and exciting. Oh, no? Not really? Well now maybe you can understand why I am the way that I am and why this blog is what it is and why I am starting to match my clothes with the colors of my office and... Please send emails (and cookies) to brighten my day. I work in a sad, sad place.
