Speaker Phone Seth
It is my belief that the only people who should have a speaker-feature on their desk phone are the people who have an actual office… that can be shut off to the rest of the building with a door. In past years, I think people in the office used ...
The Boy Who Cried “Exclamation Point!!!!111!!!”
We’ve all heard the story of the boy who cried wolf - the one where the villagers didn’t believe the boy because he lied time after time. Today, I’d like to tell you about the Boy Who Cried “Exclamation Point!!!!”. The e...
I spy with my eye…
Last night before heading out for some sushi, I thought “my contacts are kind of dry… I should take them out” So I headed over to the bathroom, washed up my hands and tried taking out my left contact. It wasn’t cooperating, so...
Depressed Dilan
I’ve never had the privilege of working with Dilan but I have heard aaaaaaall about him. He can’t function without the 10 different meds he takes and he is very open about telling you about every single one. He tells you all about his b...
Promiscuous Pat
First things first: Pat can be a guy or a gal. Think SNL Pat - it could go either way. The difference here is that this Pat is way overly promiscuous while the Pat on SNL probably never saw any action at all. I’ve never been against a little ...
Lindsay the Lush
Just about every night when I get home after a long, stressful day at work, I pop open an ice cold Bud Light or pour myself a glass of wine (or two.. or three). It helps take the edge off and I admit I’ve been more regular with my evening s...
Gild-Challenged Glenda
Have you ever heard that phrase “everything (s)he touches turns to gold”? Well, Glenda is kind of like that.. except not really. For some strange reason everything Glenda touches seems to turn to crap. She can be given the easiest as...
Gossip Girl Greda
When asked, I will be the first to stand up and say I love girl world. I love the dresses, the handbags, the shoes and all of the lovely pastels around Spring. The one thing I do hate about Girl World is that girl or girls in just about every off...
Copycat Cathy
When you are around a group of people, eventually, you will find someone you admire and want to emulate. Most smart office folks (*cough*me!*cough) will emulate people by following certain behaviors and mannerisms… because if you do that enou...
Down with Gopher Boy!
This week has already started out with a bang… and not a good bang at that. I had a different post planned for today, but I decided to save that for another day to put this instead. When you graduate from business school (or whatever school) ...
Cutting out the Middle Man
Lately, my boss has been a complete useless fool!! I don’t mean to cut the guy down, but he’s not really the type of guy to take charge. Actually, he’s the complete opposite. I used to like the fact that I could pretty much do w...
Nosey Nancy
There is a saying that tells us “knowledge is power” and our friend Nancy takes that phrase to the extreme. I agree that being informed is a vital part of keeping your head afloat, but I firmly believe there are some limitations to it. ...
Carefree Casey
Casey is quite possibly the coolest person in your office. She tends to be the self-appointed Happy Hour Coordinator and Event Maker-Upper. She believes in the whole “make lemonade out of lemons” theory: If you’re being forced t...
Personal Problem Patty
There is at least one Patty in every office. She exudes a nice, happy demeanor which may lead people to think she “has it all” and has the perfect life, but once you get the privilege of sitting within a 3-block (cube block that is) rad...
Carpet Caleb
First off, you need to know “carpet” does not refer to a faux hairpiece. Carpet Caleb is the guy or gal who happens to be the boss that can’t make any decisions on their own. They absolutely must “touch base” with th...
