1. the snooze button and the office party committee
    fine. i’ll admit it. i’m one of those snooze button people. for the past almost 8 years (holy crap, my baby is turning 8 on sunday. EIGHT!) i haven’t had the need for an alarm clock. hoo boy, no sir. there was always someone awake in the wee hours of morn….as in the 0500s…yes, what’s [...]

  2. turkey day and mickey d’s truthiness and bagel smiles
    It’s Thanksgiving in Canada, which feels weird. Thanksgiving for me, since i’m a total plant, is in November. and it involves a full day of eating and football. it’s on a Thursday and the entire day on Friday is spent shopping until i drop. or at least until the husband takes away the credit card. [...]

  3. the joiner, the myspace, and the suckers!
    look at me, quite the little joiner (what movie? anyone? free candy to the first person who guesses.) but seriously, look at me. not only am i using a hula hoop.. AT WORK…but somehow i agreed to be a team captain for our second annual third floor bbq and games jamboree (still probably not the official [...]

  4. wimps…clibamas…and fingers in boxes
    safe and sound. all in one piece. alive and well. unscathed. at work. Canadians sure are weenies. We live in a city where it snows. a lot. hell, it has pretty much snowed every single day since the beginning of December. It’s not like snow in Jerusalem. We should be prepared for winter storms. all it takes is a little [...]

  5. office space
    yesterday, Tova came to pick me up for lunch. she recently started working this.close.to.me. so it only seemed right. she came up to see my cube – which is full of nothing but books from floor to ceiling. ask her. it’s not a joke. oh, also there’s this scary mask that i had to order [...]

  6. the romance just about kills me…
    me, lying on the bed, half-asleep: babe, i don’t think i can have sex tonight. him: not even if i turn on that movie you like? me: okay fine. let’s go. you are now left wondering two things…a) what movie was it? School of Cock? Shaving Ryan’s Privates? Gangbangs of New York? Pulp Friction? Breast Side Story? (i could [...]

  7. look at what i did on my lunch hour yesterday…
    ah…relax….it’s certainly not as exciting as is could be. a) it’s fake and b) it was done at work. by a co-worker. during the first annual third floor bbq and games jamboree (probably not the official name). i’ll admit it…i was a little bit nervous about having ‘forced fun’ at work. during lunch…when everyone else [...]

  8. great….
        the day will end in one of two ways. either i will be getting myself a brand-spanking new monitor, or i will be having a seizure. my job sure is fun… (i’m now wondering if my wonky screenshot of my wonky computer screen only looks wonky to me….please let me know…) (damnit to hell…i have now moved to [...]

  9. wins and losses
    yesterday we had the first ever intra-departmental mancala tournament…and who says editors never have any fun??? the combination of some new blood in editorial (people i like! a lot!) and an article someone was writing on mancala prompted this historic event. and, folks, you’ll be pleased to know that after many intense rounds, that i – [...]

  10. mish-mash part deux
    first things first…Dorothy had a burial at sea last night. it was a traumatizing experience all around. there were tears, mine included. Emily wasn’t even able to stay in the bathroom during the entire service. and Josh didn’t break down until later when he burst into tears and a certainly overdramatic “i want Dorothy to [...]
