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!

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.

Good Afternoon Professionalites! (The followers of the Professional Quote of the Day)

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.

Professional Quote of the Day: November 1st

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The time hath come for the newest Professional Quote on the West (and the best) Coast.

The professional is hungry. And when he gets hungry… he does like every other coordinated professional does… make legislation.

While chewing upon the most professional sandwich in the San Gabriel Valley. He said the following statement:

And then we, the good people of the Office Oval vetoed that because we will not have that forceful type of regulation, even if the most professional had good intentions behind it. I would rather toss my lunch into the outside dumpster in protest in an lunch-y homage to the Boston Tea Party (as we are nowhere near Boston Harbor) than have my lunch pushed unceremoniously to the half hour.
WE WILL NOT HAVE IT!!!

Things for All the Time: Elvira Outfit

Now this is really not a shocking story to add to the “Things for all the Time” cannon.
But when I was a kid in the bustling neon world of the 1980s I was totally enthralled with Elvira.

Like, I wanted to be her when I grew up. The thought of having huge hair, fun make-up, that poodle with a mohawk, was one of the most thrilling possibilities I could come up with.

And plus she gets to make fun of herself for a living, and watch awesome movies.

For a mere $40 Halloween Town wants to help make my Mistress of the Dark realities a real thing.
And not just for Halloween:


Just imagine sitting behind me in a movie theater with that hair.

Professional Quote of the Day: October 31st

Good Afternoon Professional Enthusiasts!

Eric is trying to keep mum on a professional quote that has to do with Halloween.
Mostly, because he believes that professionalism does not mix with the world of Halloween.

But there are things that professionals like to celebrate… for example when they get a new email with an attachment:

OMG. Let’s CC: El Boo Hoo Hoo! The lovable office ghost!
♫Lauren

OMG. I hope someone dresses as professional Eric today!

Oh wait, the whole office came as Eric today!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
