Tales from the Job Front

We’re gonna let it slide

| Viciously Sweet

I realize fully that it’s the 2010’s.
But today nostaligia awaits me.
I turned on the car radio and there was Eagle Eye Cherry sending me morning greetings.
Right now I just heard Eric listening to Lit.
Someone else is listening to Alanis Morisette.
And I am currently grinning from ear to ear listening to this:

This makes me think about watching MTV with Kady and Jessica while drinking A&W rootbeer. We were probably discussing what happened on the latest episode of “Felicity” and talking about how we wished there was a little less TRL and a little more rock music on MTV… Oh how times have changed, and I blame Jessica Simpson.

Spiders in your cubicle and much more

| Viciously Sweet

So how dumb should I feel that I have worked full-time in this office for almost 3 years and still cannot transfer the phone correctly?
Yeah… I’m not feeling super bright today.
Also the phone situation, completely embarrassing.

On to today’s doodle and then we will talk about why I am glad I am me.

Today I have seen like 3 spiders making settlements in the office. It’s not like we don’t dust (every once in a while.) But seriously why are the spiders around here playing roller coaster tycoon in the office???:

Woomp there’s another one.

Okay and now on to my Liz Lemon moment. I would like to thank that guy from the mall and the lady from Subway who told me I looked like Wonder Woman. You unlike the weirdo who followed me to my car, made me feel like I can be Marcia for once instead of Jan.
I am really tired of girls who only try to get by on their looks… I mean seriously they are going to fade, you should try to be just a little smart. Even if it’s only like 2 subjects. Like for example: Latvian folk music, and Jack Nicholson movies.
More people will be interested in you… I PROMISE.
And looks are like in the eye of the beholder and some junk.. because I know some cute guys with some ugly girlfriends and vice versa.

My friends are kind of wonderful in the fact that they are both smart and beautiful. They have gone to school, received great educations, (know where Libya is), and they don’t throw themselves all over and under men who have no interest in them. Thank you for keeping it classy girls.
Did you know, Christine thinks I’m pretty :)
And I think she’s super delicious, in a totally happening way!
And don’t worry I don’t rely on my looks (just in case you think I have it all happening in a good way)… I rely on my ability to do spot on impersonations of B-List Celebrities.

Let me consult my…

| Viciously Sweet

A long unspoken dream of mine has always been to have a brilliant scientist friend.
So I can say, “Let me consult my brilliant scientist friend.”
However, the only question that I am usually asked is “Do you want this as a combo?”
But, the fact that I will have science as a friend… will thrill me.
My science friend is one who can explain why Spiderman and the Hulk can’t be real. (Because radioactivity doesn’t work like that… LAME) Also she has an incredible fear of sticky mats. And children coated in cotton candy…
Well now at last my dream is a reality. Isabel is going to be like the coolest thing in science since… atoms and such*

Congratulations on being like the next Bill Nye, Isabel!!!!

*I don’t know much about science

All I need is…

| Viciously Sweet

All I need is this penguin… and this paper pirate hat that is all I need. And I need this pair of Eric’s sunglasses.
I have decided that the penguin I stole from Eric needs protection from the elements because the arctic conditions in the office is cruel and such.

Cubicle Tour 2011!

| Viciously Sweet

I need a break, and this should take about 15 minutes. I am sitting about work kind of mentally numb, and I just had a brilliant idea!

I think I should have an open house of my cubicle for the internets… So lets start!

Here is my beloved Office Penguin… his name is Mr. Office Penguin, I have taken him all over the city of Los Angeles. He has since become a land locked pirate. Also there is my quote a day 30 Rock calender brought to me from New York, and wrestled out of the hands of an NBC Page (or maybe just purchased at the NBC experience store):

Here is an upclose of my shot glass collection. It holds Elliott Pierre the monkey (which I believe originates as a gift from Christine), and the x-acto blade I try not to injure myself with:

Now let’s have a look at my view, beyond the clouds is… the Dab:

This is my wall of silliness which every adult should have:

Here is an upclose of a photoshop Eric did of me and a doodle from Ariana (I like when people make me stuff):

Here is the proof I went to school for Architecture, This is a model from my thesis… which found its way in the office and has never left. And of course my diploma… aww the Wood.

Here is a doodle I’m working on:

and here is me, with my favorite artistic medium… le sharpie, yep mine is french… actually I call him Marky Mark:

That is pretty much it I have to get back to work, try to finish this drawing, and listen to the Scissor Sisters… Have a nice weekend.

Basically… All I want is a couch

| Viciously Sweet

Today I read on Yahoo one of the best things to do to not get sick is take a nap.
But, at work I gots no place to nap!
I wish we has a little itty bitty…. couch.
It would look great in the office and also be a comfy respite from the cold world of autocad.

All we really need is one couch.... and I already have a snuggie!

Nancy the Palm Reader

| Viciously Sweet

In a Pee Wee Herman like chain of events. Nancy Has decided to become a Palm Reader, due to the fact she can read my mind through the internet.
Her new stand is located in front of the Wendy’s.

Can I get a fortune and a frosty?

I had to photoshop this… because I pictured it so clearly in my mind.
