Are you in a cubicle too?
i am working from home today and tomorrow. on wednesday, back in the cube.
best thing about working from home is that i don't have to wear anything.
I'm doing an audit on all my accounts. Blah.
alecia, what is your profile pic of?
*sidenote* i've been catching up on old threads, did you or are you about to get married?

It's a bridal bouquet (which reminds me, I need to change my avatar to something new). I'm getting married October 15th of this year. We were going for 9/10/11 (that date would've been so cool), but the reception venue was having a concert that night so we had to change it.
Balls to this cube, I left an orange on my desk and now I have fly friends!

So a fat lady called in today saying she wanted to file a claim for her dead yorkie. Apparently she accidently suffocated it to death while it slept in the bed with her. I tried to explain to her that although she did have accidental death coverage with us, it only covered her, her husband, and her two children. She pleaded for us to cover her dog's death, but I told her it wasn't going to happen. I told her I had to hang up with her to take another call and wished her the best of luck. I didn't really have another call. I just said that so I could go feel Marcy up in the copy room.
Hahaha

My wedding is oct 22nd of this year.
Congratulations to you!
noah-
Our managers gave us free lunch all week last week, but they forgot to have the cleaning crew stay late each day...every day we came in and the entire second floor smelled of whatever we had eaten the day before.
Friday the same thing happened, the difference was that we have no cleaners on the weekend. Friday was "taco bar" day.
And to you.
By the way, I dig your bouquet.
Rotten Taco meat...sounds, well I wont even make a joke thats terrible.

I'm in a basement at a desk right now. Jammin' out to this:
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
changed my mind, today is an of montreal day. everyone who comes to the basement thinks I'm weird as shit, but I don't care. I fucking love of montreal.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
Back to stinky food. The cleaning lady at my work sounds just like the cleaning lady from Family Guy, I always say hello to her and what not and its just grand when she answers.

the cleaning lady here and I have lots of conversations in spanish. she always asks me if I have a boyfriend yet, and I always reply no. and then she tells me I should find a boyfriend and get married.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
These guys live literally a block from where I'm sitting. They're kind of jerks.
You know in all the years I've been here I've never been sigged?
REALLY? damn.
(edit: lawl post 69. I am 12 years old.)

Not this new years, but last I was at their house for New Years. Friends of my roomate at the time. They're pretty boring live. I dug what I heard on the album though.

Oh you hip indie kids with your music and whatnot.
But if you dig that vibe you may also enjoy, The National - High Violet. My favorite album of the last few years-ish.
and Noah-
I saw you dig a lot of ska-ish grooves. I actually played with Streetlight Manifesto and Spitalfield a few years back. Super cool dudes.
...i would cut off a handfull of fingers to play with Streetlight, i really need to get my horn back out. There horn section is amazing.

I just woke up from my lunch time nap. Every day I get my half an hour lunch, and everyday I borrow a blanket from my neighbor, crawl under my desk and take a 20 minute power nap. Its the highlight of my day.

Saturday this lady comes into the Library.... She is asking (very loudly) Where she would find the legal seperation papers... so she could legally seperate her husband. She is obviously drunk and acting belligerent. In the state of Texas, legal seperation is not possible because you either get divorced or not.. It was just so funny because she is in the stacks screaming about her problems and everyone in the library was like....omg.
I love when shit like that happens, makes my day.
The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.
Wow...in Alabama, you have to be legally separated for something like 60 days before you can even file for divorce.
I think legal separation is just the exact opposite of a promise ring.
Well, the process of divorce takes forever in TX so they say that legal seperation is unnecessary because you have such a long period of time before you are actually divorced. I think it's smart because its one less set of papers you have to file.
It is the exact oppisite of a promise ring. It's a promise of divorce...
Lol.

This is what I look at 8 hours a day.
There are windows and through them you see a pond, waterfall, and beautiful park.
It's great.
I love my job. Endostorehh.

Thank you.

I love the drunks who call in this place, if there is a UFC fight most everyone is drunk. When they start crying though, thats when I really stop caring. I have had people cry, threaten, scream, beg, and shit themselves over there cable. And people who are getting divorced, oh wow. They love to tell me all there problems.

So Jim came to talk to me about a claim taken over the weekend that was not ok'ed by our boss. Since our boss is on vacation this week he needs a second signature in order to process the claim. He said it'd be great if I could sign off on it because the person, a female in her late 20's,who just so happeneed to report her house burglarized only a week after she signed with us. Jim just so happened to assist her that day. He continues that if she can get this claim filed for her, bot she and he will be ever so grateful and he gives me a wink. It reminds me of the wink his wife gave me after she blew me at the last company picnic. I tell him to go find some other asshole to sign it and I go back to playing sudoku.
you're killin' meh, frank!
this is everything right with the world
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
hahahaha, oh god. Frank, the amount of win you possess cannot be properly quantified.
Today was one of the secretaries birthday. It's the ugly one so I tend to forget her name. Maybe Linda, Lucy.. Stacey, I don't know. Edna, the office kiss-ass, took it upon herself to buy her a cake. During lunch hour they sang to the girl and cut the cake. Once I heard they were done singing I went back and got a piece. The cake was good so I went to get another piece. Edna stopped me from swiping another and said that we could only get one piece each even though there was half a cake left and everyone who wanted cake already got a piece. I tried grabbing another piece anyway but she took it out of my hand. I looked at her and then proceeded to cough all over what was left. Happy? Now, no one else gets cake.
Reminds me of Jim Gaffigan. Lol.
"It's Bill's birthday"
"Ehh I hate that guy."
"There is cake in the conference room."
"Well, I should say hello."
Hahaha.

Frank dragged me to this thread because he thinks he's sooo funny. What a joke 
I don't work in a cubicle anymore thank god but I have plenty of stories to share from my cubicle days that are to painful to bring up right now(actually i just have to go finish up more important stuff before I get sucked into one of these awful stories).
I'll be back!

Right now I have two things going. One is a crappy estate sale I'm working on, the other is new for me. I'm getting paid $35 an hour to de-clutter and organize a woman's house while she is in the hospital. Apparently when she gets home some heads are going to roll, but I will be long gone by then, leaving behind me a lot of neatly stacked boxes, a detailed inventory, and a very clean house. Luckily I don't actually have to do the cleaning, they will be paying someone to come in behind me and do that.

Ohh find anything GoodCreepyGrossDead?

Well at the former I found a quarter pound of pot. At the second I found things covered in larvae.

I did get paid to go to the Zoo today. There was a big company meeting, free snacks and soda. They talked to us about this and that, omporving goals, selling more stuff general nonsense. It was hosted by one of those peppy little guys that are overly excited and ask you hows it going 3 times.
"Hey ever, hows it going? I can't here you. Ohh come on your better than that." Turns out he was the head of this region. I really want to be there when he does that the second time and no one says anything.
I sat in the back half, played sudoku on my phone while dealing with a nutty ex with the other hand firmly rested on my bits. We didn't actually get to see the animals, which seems like a major cop out. We were at the zoo, I could smell the animals filth. I could here the Sun bears and Orangutans calling for me to mock them through the cages. But no, that wasn't part of the deal they tell me. I can handle that though, I got a sprite and some cookies out of the deal, a couple hours off the phones. But then im waiting for The Max, Portland's train deal, back to work and a bee, a fucking bee stings me on the hand.
I did get to see a girl/guy on the Max with stitch marks tattooed where there eyebrows should have been.

Norm, you are awesome!
In other news, next week I get my cubicle / office! I'm going to have so much OCD type fun organizing all the piles of paper left for me by the guy before the girl that's in the position now. She apparently left it exactly as is was when she got it because she was a temp until they found a person to fill the position, but she's been there for 5 months now. I will have two filing cabinets and one of those long storage dealies to go through, along with 2 desks - one complete with locking drawers! Also there are five unmarked bankers boxes stacked precariously in a corner that I have been itching to dive into.
Gotta go to work now.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Jim had to go home early today because someone planted condiment packets under the toilet seat in the men's bathroom. When Jim sat down, the packets exploded all over his legs and pants. McDonald's will give you extra ketchup if you ask.

You seem so overeager for tedium.
I wish I could look at everything that positively.
I've decided that I like my job and instead I just despise my coworkers.
I have become completely disenfranchised by the severe lack of ability for anyone over the age of twelve in America to learn.
My co-workers could easily form an intermural basketball team and be handily beaten by a youth special olympics squad.
There is no cohesiveness or cognitive ability betwixt the entire second floor. It's just sad.
+1 for betwixt. i haven't read that word anywhere in approximately 7 months.
Lugging around heavy furniture and running around the store helping dumb old people find just the right brand of shampoo all day makes me wish I worked in a cubicle.
cubicle days:
So my first couple days on the job in a cubicle I feel asleep almost every morning on the job, talk about a good impression. You would too adjusting to the new hours driving 2hrs in traffic just to make it on time to open mail and count documents to make bundles of 25. I'm pretty sure I drooled on my desk a couple times too.
Let me describe the setting so you'll get a better grasp of my stories to come. There were several departments and two buildings. I worked at the smaller building down the street from the main one and I was stuck in a room with no windows, one door, 4 desks, boxes, and aisles of files/documents. I was fortunate enough to be stuck in that room with the 3 people who could still be considered human. Another perk to the job was having potlucks every other week for someones birthday or holiday. Overall that place was drama you had your Filipinos gossiping about who was getting fat and critiquing what everyone was wearing, there was the eccentric older woman who just came back to work after having a stroke applying her new diet regimen onto everyone else, we had the 23yr old with her 3 kids from different dads that didn't hide her attraction to whatever new prospect crossed her path, and the supervisors who wanted to be your best friend but had no idea what our department was responsible for.
Actual stories to follow later since I'm gonna have a lot of time on my hands but right now i have to finish laundry.
Hello cubicle buddies and welcome back from your weekends.
I have been sick for 5 days and was finally able to eat and drink yesterday without vomiting, so I am in a great mood and ate a banana nut muffin today.
How is everyone else?
By the way for those of you that don't work in a library, onread.com has been an awesome resource for reading material lately.
