The Order Of Thing

[iAmBaronVonTito]

I would like to have called in and posed "Casual Fridays" to get Tom's reacton.  I had one job where we did Casual Fridays. Beyond being able to wear sneakers--which was awesome--it was kind of irrelevant.

There's something about seeing packs of office drones in blue jeans, white sneakers, solid color polos with embroidered company logo, and photo ID keycard on that belt-mounted retractable string thingy slowly walking 4-wide down the sidewalk to lunch talking about the Peterson account that really gets my ire up.

welcome to my world, Josh...TGIF!!!

I bring a sack lunch to work to avoid that.

Don't know how low this goes, but people at work interrupting me with questions while I'm trying to catch up with the podcast. Definitely above the migraine, but not by much.

i'll expand on that with people at work asking what's so funny, i dismiss them, they insist, i explain, then i'm the bad guy because it wasn't funny.  i get the "o...kay" response.

Bottom of the list:

• You send me a logo
• You ask me to shrink it
• I tell you it will be too small and the text won't look good -- it will be blurry
• You ask me to try it anyway
• I try it
• I send it to you
• You tell me it's blurry and ask me to fix it

[Spoony]

Oh my God, Erika, you're a designer. I had no idea.

"But I don't understand why you can't print this logo I pulled off a website! Why are you being so difficult?!?!"

Had I been able to call...

Good: Waking up thinking it's a work (or school) day, then realizing you have the day off.

Bad: Those walkie-talkie phones and their owners.

chicken and waffles should be pretty close to the top of the list.

Colorado/New Mexico-style green chile, also near the top.

The smell of the air coming off the water as I walked down the hill to town at high tide today.

Second-worst, only to Brooklyn Vegan commenters: being assured by multiple parties (employer and club alike) that yes, I am on the guest list to see Paul F. Tompkins at the Triple Rock, then being told by the dude at the door that I am actually not on the guest list and that I won't get in for free even if I'm reviewing the show for the blog of the local alt-weekly I work at, then discovering that I do not even have adequate cash to pay to get in.

What did the Brooklyn Vegan commenters do?  I read the ones on the TL page and they were just garden variety Internet morons from what I could tell.

Aw man... I'm that guy!!  Except for the walking four-wide... I hate that crap!

Cancerface is on the top of the list.
