My new threads

| Viciously Sweet

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!

Professional Quote of the Day: August 10th

| Viciously Sweet

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.

Professional Quote of the Day: August 9th

| Viciously Sweet

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.

Pixie Stix Disaster 2011

| Viciously Sweet

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?!?!

The Moral of the Story: Laughter

| Viciously Sweet

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.

Professional Quote of the Day: August 8th

| Viciously Sweet

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.

Professional Quote of the Day: Aug 5th

| Viciously Sweet

It’s Friday! Friday! You better be professional on Friday!

On this the end of the Professional Week I present to your eyes and brains this very professional opinion about the world prior to the world-wide webs:

Basically Eric’s life didn’t begin until there was the promise of email, the freedom of internet browsing, and the cool tapping of a brand new keyboard under his fingers.

Here is a bar chart to help clarify this (for all you visual minds out there):

Have a professional weekend everyone!

They call her “Jazz Hands Keelin”

| Viciously Sweet

Christine, princess of dip, Tsar of Mucho Guacamole and Grand Benevolent Ruler of fried zucchini batter has not always wanted to accept her delicious role in life… In an alternate universe Christine would have followed her love for pristine white gloves and fedoras and become the most supreme modern-tap-artist, adored by tweens worldwide. She would have a sponsorship paid for by the big Suspender companies, she would have the taps shoes of a God…
And this is what it would have looked like:

Happy Friday!
TA-TA-TA-TAP!

Jimmy’s wishful thinking

| Viciously Sweet

There are some days when you just want to get away. Some people suffer from these days more than others for so many reasons.

Sometimes people take days off of work and have fun. Jimmy is doing that tomorrow, and I will be trying to figure out what color a weird-faux-spanish-style-previously-a-Big-Lots building should be.

I just can’t figure out a correct color scheme for it…. URG. I digress.

Here’s a doodle of Jimmy:

I tried to find where Jimmy is working. But, I just settled for a house in Pacoima

Best part, tomorrow… he gets to go there. Have fun Jimmy!
