Professional Quote of the Day: November 10th

Today on the Professional Quote of the day, I present to you a completely true and utterly fascinating fact.

A true Professional cannot take anything at face value.

They have to investigate, explore and comprehend before anything gets their professional approval. You can’t get anything past them, not one Provocative Cactus, or a chicken, or a picture of their face in one tiny but important rendering… it’s so unfair!

Someday I will succeed! Okay I’m done with this post… let me just double check it….

Professional Quote of the Day: November 9th

Good Afternoon All You Professional Quote of the Day Readers!

Some people have many questions about professionalism… Like: How can I tell if someone is a real professional or if they are a professional poseur? Is there some sort test a doctor can give you to see if you come up positive being a professional? Do they have reflections? Are they a card carrying organization?

These are very interesting questions with very interesting answers:

Firstly, you should ask them if there name is Eric, this may be a direct correlation to professionalism (science is still investigating this.)

Secondly, there is no official test to prove your professionalism. Sorry about that.

Thirdly, Yes professionals usally have reflections, you may be confusing them with vamp——-

Wait, you know the best way to find out about professionals is to read the criteria as specified by California’s Professional Hero:

Remember this pro-mantra, and maybe someday you will transform into a professional yourself.

The Most Beloved Printer

My boss is super in love with the worst printer. It jams, and never prints color drawings correctly. It seriously will never accept that purple exists, ever… But I digress.

But it is the first printer he ever purchased for professional use. And you know how the men folks feel about technology.

His love for the 11 x 17 near my desk is so beautiful I think it should be crafted into a beautiful heart-wrenching novel.

Move over Twilight and all those stories crafted by Nicholas Sparks…

Viciously Sweet Presents:

Never was there a love truer, than a man and his inkjet printer.

Samples of Awesome

Today I couldn’t have been more excited about getting new samples.

The best part of getting a new sample is peeling off all its protective coating. It’s like one of the best things about working in my office. So between all my deadlines I get to experience the shear joy of peeling off stickers!

This is actually the best thing that happened today! Because I’m not playing Call of Duty tonight :)

Professional Quote of the Day: November 8th

Good Afternoon Professionalites!

Now I am back in town and close enough to quote the Most Treasured Professional in the San Gabriel Valley. Much to my surprise, I have emerged from my Montana vacation to find the feistiest Professional Eric in Southern California. He is so angry he can hardly answer and respond to his work email… during non-work hours!

DUN
DUN
DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Now on to the PQOTD!

Lying somewhere betwixt the realm of everyone’s truest-gayest-love Oscar Wilde, and curmudgeon-y b.f.f. Winston Churchill; Professional Eric got his professional diss on:

So you better watch out, Unprofessionals all about the land. PSIC is mad as heck and he isn’t going to take it anymore!

Things for all the Time: An Inflatable Fiend

Today I am not near a computer as I traveled up to Montana for non-professional reasons.

So with a little bit of internet magic I bring to you today’s very special edition of things from a Halloween Store I need for all the time.

An 8′ tall inflatable Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from “Ghostbusters”

I had no idea that my life was so incomplete without a blow up version of a thing I loved when I was a kid. I mean, think of all the magic that my life could have been full of. It just makes me want to sit down drink some Ecto Cooler and watch Punky Brewster with the freaking thing.

Anyone got $140 to spare so my dreams can be alive?

Things for All the Time: Fake Birds

The newest addition to the Canon of things Christine needs for all the time is a beautiful and welcome addition to any home.

FAKE BIRDS.

Firstly, you can put them in your house and make it more exotic.
Secondly, you can reenact your favorite moments from “The Birds.”
And Thirdly, you can use them to make your guests feel incredibly odd.

Guest: “Um is that a Raven in my tea?”
Christine: “Why yes, I think it is.”

Happy Friday!

There are many things that make a professional jump for joy.
Here is a non definitive list:

-New technology
-USB ports
-Spread sheets
-Sending an informative email
-Scientific discoveries
-Scheduling
-Newer technology

But more than most things professionals like “proofing” or “pro-oofing” a situation, as shown in todays PQOTD:

And he was so happy that for the rest of the day he sync’d his phone with the joyous delight of 12 professionals.
