I walked past a co-workers desk today and saw a little plaque hanging that said "How can I think outside the box when I work in a cubicle?" I love when people have sayings that are just thinly veiled ways of saying "Sometimes I hate my job" hanging by their desk. But of course, that is so not what my "You're no good unless you are a good assistant; and if you are, you're too good to be an assistant" (Martin Fischer) doesn't mean that at all... My mom gave it to me, I swear.
If anyone calls me when I am not in the office I apologize for the voicemail message. It seems that the fancy phone system hates me and won't stop putting my "Out of Office" message on. But trust me, I am at work. One day I'll figure out how to make it stop saying I am out and will return on September 10. Hopefully by June 2010.
In the midst of talking to a co-worker today I noticed that I was losing my voice. I assumed this was because I was drinking and *around* people with cigars and cigarettes this weekend. But sadly, as I drove home, I started to noticed that my eyes were watery and I was coughing. That's right people. I think I just got my first cold of the season. Can I blame Swine Flu or is that passe now?
I have a plan to convert one of the conference rooms into a stress relief room since everyone is under so much stress at work. Now in your mind you may be picturing it like a spa, where people can smell some aromatherapy and relax. But let's face it, that is not the best way to relax. What is? A ball pit. No one has ever felt stressed while in a ball pit. (Unless your parents put you in there when you were too small and you just sunk to the bottom. Then I guess 4 feet of plastic balls would freak you out. For those people I might suggest something else. Lazer tag.

Love the ball pit. Don't know where you'll find all those guys willing to let you jump on theirs, though.
I have to admit I loved the ball pit, until rumors started spreading that people were putting AIDS needles at the bottom of them. Nonetheless, i have to agree that a ball pit would be a pretty awesome way to relax at work. As long as it was a ball pit that allowed you to smoke cigarettes. ahhhh heaven.
My bosses boss has a plaque on her office door that says "I'm just working here until a good fast food job opens up."
OMG if there was a ball pit at my office job I would SO be in there all day.... you just might be on to something!!
