If you don’t see me posting as often to this blog, it’s because my office uses Websense and now drivelocity is blocked. I hope to find a way around it soon. Suggestions are welcome

My office complex seems to be having a problem with trees dropping their limbs in the parking lot. It really hasn’t been much of an issue, other than a mere inconvenience, until now. last week, a coworker had a large limb drop on her brand new Honda Accord!
One theory is that the types of trees [...]

A coworker just gave me some King Lear Shakespearean Insult Gum… It’s a little box with two gumballs and an insult printed inside. When I opened the box, it revealed the following:
Thou art deformed, crooked, old and sere, ill faced, worse bodied, shapeless everywhere, vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind, stigmatical to making, worse in mind [...]

I just received an email from someone in my office that basically instructs us to update a shared Outlook calendar, which is fine and dandy. But, if we schedule something during the current month, we’re also supposed to pencil it in on the printed version of said calendar. This now makes five calendars I need [...]

We all get headaches and there are many well known remedies besides popping pain killers. While it’s important to find the source of a headache, our busy lives provide too many possibilities. Some of these may include bright lights, eye strain,  stress, or a blockage somewhere, among any number of other possible causes.

The highlight of my day… a “new” chair for my cube.
I’ve been at my current job for a couple years now and I’ve had the same broken chair the entire time. It wasn’t enough for me to complain about, especially since I was new and then grew used to it and, after a while, didn’t [...]

I’ve been at my current job for a few years now and from day one, through today (and beyond, I’m sure), this one coworker has been going through a brutal divorce. I feel for her. Really, I do. But the office is no place for anyone to get into heated arguments over the phone. Some [...]

Inspired by the ranting post here, I would like to state my position on the subject. It seems as though, in some offices, we share the restrooms with two year olds. When you step up to a urinal and have to straddle the large puddle of pee you begin to realize that people you work [...]
