You think your job sucks?

Let me tell you about the people I work with. First, there’s this supermodel wanna-be chick. Ok, I’ll admit, she’s pretty hot, but damn she is completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on her makeup. She is extremely self-centered and never considers the needs of anyone other than herself. She is dumber than a box of rocks and I find it surprising that she has enough brain power to breathe. ...

Toilet Timer

The bathroom lights at work have automatic motion sensors. This happens more often than I’d like.

Angry Spaghetti

One time we got in such an argument over where to eat we finally stayed home and Carrie made spaghetti. You could actually taste the frustration and anger in the sauce. From that point forward, that dish has been known as “Angry Spaghetti”. We’ve never had “Angry Spaghetti” since.

The question was: What was something that was done to you as a child, although insignificant now, that still makes you furious?

Not my bathroom

At every new job, I spend the first few weeks looking for “my” bathroom. The one that’s less popular, usually clean, and bonus points for a locking door.

Shut up, green Meg.

Went to see “Oz: The Great and Powerful”. This is all I could think throughout the whole thing. I posted this to Twitter right after we saw the movie and got so much shit from people thanking me for ruining the surprise. Still not sorry. It’s funny.
