As a fairly avid consumer, I like to think I’m pretty sensitive to customer service in as much that I try to be as friendly as possible and tip generously. I don’t want to be that asshole customer that unnecessarily ruins everyone’s day; I think the worst thing I’ve ever done was leave an eleven [...]
Music artists shouldn’t use police sirens or police siren-like noises in their radio songs.
Especially if I’m speeding.
(Not that I ever go over the posted speed limit or otherwise break any traffic laws, Mr. Police Officer.)
On my desk sits the cutest little vase, filled about a third of the way with origami stars.
I was working on setting up my Sony Reader for the husband and happened to glance over at it. My first thought was, Huh. Those are getting low.
Y’all.
My jar of origami stars is evaporating.
And then my brain sputtered [...]
I wish I could say the last week was spent in some exotic locale, sipping a fruity drink garnished with an umbrella and soaking on some much-needed sun, but sadly, I was tied up in Corporate Hell.
The company I work for utilizes the Six Sigma program. Basically, it’s a means of fixing a problem, preferably [...]
Things For 2010
A shiny new fridge! (Preferably one that qualifies for the tax rebate.) When we bought our house, it had the same fridge that our previous rental had. The fridge in the rental needed repairs within the first few months, except it was never fixed because the leasing agency was all, “Hey, it works, [...]
I had so much to write about — Kindereggs and Haribo candy and Halloween’s highlights and something else I forgot about but thought was an awesome idea at the time — but then my husband got sick and I’ve gotten about four hours of sleep the last two nights so I feel like I might [...]
I’ve been at my new job for exactly two days and holy wow.
Moving from a small business to a giant corporation is crazy. (Did you know the sky is blue also?) I mean, I know it sounds obvious but really. My basic benefits — health, vision, dental, life insurance — are paid for. I have [...]
My desk is bare except for the basics: stapler, tape dispenser, phone, monitor, etc.
A bag is heavy with my personal artifacts: various pieces of origami from my Origami-A-Day desktop calendar, a breast cancer awareness bracelet that hung from my bulletin board, the attempts at seasonal decor including a glittery mini Christmas tree, and all the [...]
When you’ve gotten about four hours of sleep, seeing one of those freaky realistic babydolls laying perfectly still and unmoving (as fake babies tend to do) in a car seat in the backseat of someone’s car — with the windows rolled up on a Florida summer day — is an absolute mindfuck.
Happy birthday, Husband o’ Mine! I apparently have a thing for old men so you’re in luck.
So yesterday was quite possibly not the best day ever. I woke up with a splitting headache, had a ton of stuff to do at work and then, the crowning glory of a shitastic day, some guy [...]
