You and Coworker M consider yourselves to be fairly hardworking, conscientious employees, who keep your noses to the grindstone most of the time. Coworker K, generally speaking, is not, but rather has perfected the fine art of wasting time, wandering about the office, and racking up large amounts of overtime in the early hours of the morning, many ( Read more... )

So I realized it's been quite a while since I've said much of substance on here, so I thought I'd make a fairly real update, while I'm in the mood ( Read more... )

I would love to call in to work one morning, and leave this message for my boss:

"Um, hi, (insert bossman's name here). I wanted to let you know I won't be coming in today. You see, I don't want to work. I just want to bang on the drum all day. So. Hopefully I'll be in tomorrow. Thanks. Bye."

....what? Oh, c'mon. You know you think it's funny.

Happy Birthday, rei_c!!! I hope you have a great day, sweetheart. *squishes*

rei_c: Ok, yeah. That's true. I'll give you that one.

Not that there's really going to be a great deal of gift exchanging this year anyway, but still. I finally bought a box of Christmas cards over the weekend, a box which ( Read more... )

Thank you for all of the snowflakes! You guys seriously brightened my weekend.

*hugs you all*

I've taken a few days off from work and run away to SC for the long holiday. Returning to the D on Monday. I'm currently chillin' at home, waiting for rei_c to get done with work, so that we can go get hot dogs with macaroni and cheese for lunch.
