I was a child who knew what things were good and what things were bad. This applied to cakes, toys that I played with, cartoons that were rad, and even people.
I was a judgmental little thing, and not really that much has changed*.
*Especially not my love of Pee Wee Herman, and hair accessories!
But good thing for everyone my mom doesn’t buy me bare midriff tops or hot pants in day glo colors, well at least not for work.
Happy Friday! Go Judge something for me this weekend.

There has been a severe lack of quotes as of late. But don’t worry about it… Eric is not losing his professional touch.
In fact today Professional Eric is sharing a bit of his professional life advice with us:
Maybe the next time you dine out you may want to eat like a professional!
As everyone knows It comes with a drink, professional side of your choice, and two new additions to your contacts!

I know I talk about Steve Martin and “the Jerk” a lot, but it is one of my favorite movies with one of my favorite actors.
I do enjoy all the lovely comments I get from other people out there who know what I’m talking about when I say:
“Be Somebody”
Which I said the whole week I was in Hawaii last year. And basically what I say anytime I get something with an umbrella in it.
I also just appreciate all the joy the movie has given me in life.
Like aspiring to have my own Disco Hall with my own disco dancers.
The dangers of cat juggling.
Why although I am blind I will never use an optigrab.
Open my mind to new foods. For example I still need to give pizza in a cup a try:
And most importantly to never trust whitey.
And mostly I think I like the movie, because we’re all a bit of a Jerk sometimes. Not in an awful Jersey Shore way, but in a way that we don’t always see our own assy-ness.
(My sad reality, is that when my mom saw this she said “Oh its perfect, you are a jerk.)

P.S. Following Steve Martin on Twitter can change your life.
I’ve been getting in some trouble for some months now, every time I dress nice… people follow me to my car, stare deeply at me, or accuse me of staring at their man.
Um I just tried to look nice for a change, sorry that me putting more that 10 minutes into my makeup offends people. To try to appease the public (and save myself from swift parking lot murders) I have decided to spice up the old wardrobe:

P.S. This is Christine’s response (which I immortalized in doodle):
Thanks little liquid beanie!
P.P.S. I did stare at him… he was sitting across the table from me. Hey Angel!
You might confuse today’s quote of the day partially with Wall-E and with the Terminator, or maybe even the Matrix.
But don’t be fooled… it is the professional quote of the day.
And we’re quoting it up Eric’s way:
Don’t try to control-alt-delete him. It gives him a tummy ache.

Today I debated on posting a quote since Eric was not really in the office.
But due to the request of Yonadab the quote will go on. (Nice Celine Dion reference, am-i-right?)
And although this is not exactly office related I hope that this professional pearl of wisdom will help you think about your activities outside of work:
I imagine somewhere in the 909 Professional Eric is rinsing his lawn, like a pro.

Last week my neighbors had a party where they had a candy bar. Jellybeans, weird toffee, snickers, twix, and a whole tub of pixie stix. When I saw those sugary tubes of joy I knew I had to have one. One turned into 3, and that turned into 7 and I was just so happy that my taste buds still thought they were as rad as they did 15 years ago. (I feel very blessed.)
So I feel a little less this:
And a little more this:
Although, now I feel like I have a problem. I didn’t realize at the time is that this candy would turn me into a sugar addict. Like Charlie Sheen style, on top of the world, kind of sugar addict.
So I tried to stop, but at lunch I had a Dr. Pepper and I’m back to basically wanting to roll through pile sugar (while I threaten someone into a closet, who will shortly call the police on me).
Also the biggest conundrum of all.. how am I supposed to lose weight for my sister’s wedding if all I want is to eat all the sugar in the world?
And worse is she going to replace me with Ashton Kutcher if I can’t stop myself?!?!

Have you ever met me and think I laugh too much… well here’s a little secret:
This is true for all the following people:
-The people who I had studio with
-That old lady who said I laughed too much
-Geraldine the Monkey Queen (Woodbury)
-Ummm all the Librarians who disliked my laugh
-All the people who sincerely try to watch “Titanic” when I’m around
-People who work at Hot Topic
-And so much more
The moral of the story is laugh more… because you like it. The rest is just a benefit.

It’s getting room temperature in here. So you better work to your optimal capacity. ♫
That song may not have caught on like Nelly’s “Hot in Hrrrr,” but it does instruct on how to make your work environment conducive to maximum output… and here’s the King of Output himself to drop some knowlwedge on you with today’s PQOTD:
Current Office Temperature: 76 degrees.
