Dream Job

“What can you naturally do with ease that is difficult for other people to do?”
That’s your dream job, or so someone told me once. I have been thinking about this for years.
I am really good at making people cry.
I am really good at making sharp cutting remarks, like slaps on the knuckles.
I am as kind [...]

Tacky

My coworker has been on the phone all morning with various people from state agencies.. she is trying to get custody of her grandchildren.  There is a police report involved, her son’s wife is homeless… seriously, she sits about 15 feet from me.  WTF?
I do a lot of stuff at work that is inappropriate.  The [...]

Preggy vs. Fatty

The following is meant as comedy relief.  I am not complaining.  I know I sound like I do a fair share of complaining.  But, it’s not all negativity around here.  I’ll try to post more precious moments.  They occur all the time, I just dont’ really feel like sharing them. 
This however, should keep you laughing [...]

Look at me when you’re talking to me

There is a partner blog called “Ways to get people to stop talking to you” that pairs nicely with this.  I suggest you read them both and then you can know what kind of a jerk I am. ( in case there were still any doubts at this point.) I guess I’m the kind that asks [...]

Mrs. Emery

My friend Ana loves her job.
Mrs. Emery was my home Ec teacher. 
Mrs. Emery had a large mole and was SUPER ornery, but a funny lady if she liked you.  Would it be great to be her? 
The thought process is this:  I think it would great, as Ana thinks it is, to hang out with kids [...]

Ways to get people to stop talking to you

I have an attitude problem.  It’s OK.  I know it.
I do the worst with office small talk.  I am not talking about “what did you do this weekend” or “The weather sure is dry for this time of year.”  That is general small talk, a talk I can handle.
People sitting next to me telling me [...]

Working From Home

Today is the day the earth was created.  Or so thinks millions of people sitting on the parking strip right outside my house watching a Days of ‘47 Parade.  It’s when the Mormons came to Utah, and we celebrate it with rodeos and glowsticks.  I was going to write a whole post about how much [...]

The Ol’ One, Two

 

 
We were in a meeting today, talking about a decision that was made here at work, to change something pretty dramatic about the project that I am on.  It is largely political, and the move doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to us lowly ones. 
So, a coworker and I were talking about how it’s an abrupt [...]

Quote of the Day

i don’t care what type of work you like to do,
not even what type you’re qualified to do, but if your
company opts to pay you to be a manager you don’t
spend three solid weeks remodeling the lobby

My Upcoming Trip to Norway….

Just watched Sicko.  If you have seen it, I will forego the analysis and “holy crap” moments.  BUT, if you haven’t seen it, then you have to in order to understand my post.
I am packing my bags, and pulling out the binoculars, because I just KNOW that it exists.
Norway = Heaven.  Don’t know if you [...]
