I made all of these halloween characters when I was bored at work the last few months. This is the devil and his girlfriend. He looks sort of french and she has a penchant for fake designer handbags. Posted by Hello

Someone has a case of the Fridays

I can't bring myself to do meaningful work today. I've been listening to http://www.woxy.com all day today. I really need to get back in the musical saddle. People always used to ask me what I was listening to, and I never really knew why. But compared to those good old days, my current musical savvy is really sort of embarrassing.

Speaking of when I used to be cool, I just remembered something funny...We went to a Promise Ring show in Richmond and after the show I ran into the lead singer on my way out. I totally sidestepped decorum and my natural anti-meeting-celebrity-types-inclinations and totally shoved him ala Elaine Benis and said "HEY!" Puzzled, he responded likewise and we both laughed. That was it. No "I love your music" or "Thanks for coming to my show". Perfect!

The Best Compliment Ever

It's not often in jobs (at least in my experience) that people take it upon themselves to share POSITIVE gossip about you. My fellow COWS (Common Old Workers as my room-mate calls them) work tirelessly under the radar to ensure that the people above them look intelligent. Today Mary S., a senior COW, stopped me in the hall to share that she had overheard a conversation and that my boss was having with the HR lady Van Goober.
A year ago and a half ago, VanGoober interviewed me and apparently couldn't show me to the door fast enough. 6 months later after re-evaluating me (with some help from a connected insider), I was worthy of the job here.
Mary S. said that my Boss, The Boys (the presidents) and Van Goober were extremely impressed the efficiency of my work since Co-worker X was gone and that I was a "sweet girl". Mary S. coincidentally is in charge of payroll. What could that mean?
This compliment means the world seeing as how this time last year my boss was calling me an adultrous traitor.
What a difference a year makes.
