Friday Work Convo

conversations, Reporting from Work

Sep 072012

Glenn stopped by my desk to spray me with sarcasm.

“I’ll try to work on saying that without laughing,” he said to me, in continuation to a previous conversation.

Barb, who hadn’t caught what he initially said, piped up behind me. “Say what without laughing?” she asked.

“‘Nice to see you’,” Glenn replied drolly.

I think Glenn would make a wonderful Guest Frown of the Day.

Monday Mind Mayhem
Here’s a mind-dumping for you, in list form. 1.Today, Onew from SHINee enlisted in the military. As you know, SHINee is my #2 favorite kpop group so my ship (a/k/a MY HEART) is pretty wrecked over this. I know, I know, it’s just the way things are, I should be used to it by now, […]
Friday Five: Thanksgiving 2018 Edition
Look man I was just happy to have some days off work where I didn’t have to trudge to the damn trolley in premature winter temps. Plus, we’re leaving for Tennessee later today (Dollywood!) so I was content having nothing to do on actual Thanksgiving. My mom and I are both pretty meh about the […]
Friday Five, I Will Survive
It’s Friday and I’m still alive, so you know what that means! Here’s some 5 things. Emarosa You guys! Emarosa dropped a video for one of their new songs, and when I say new I mean NEW NEW. This is like a brand new Emarosa. Pop-infused. Dance-y. Ready to mingle with Carly Rae record collection. […]
Friday Five, or “fredag fem” if you’re Norwegian and Google Translate is Correct
Moodiness & political drama aside, November has started off pretty nicely. Sometimes I get so bogged down by the news and the pissiness of people around me that I forget that things under my own roof are just fucking swell. So here are some things from the last week that have made me excited, smile, […]
lunch break tales: autumn in the ‘burgh edition
It’s been a minute since I regaled this cobwebbed corner of the internet with stories from my dumb lunch break walks, but autumn has officially blanketed the city so I felt inspired to get snap-happy. The blue skies have been very welcome after the dreariness we’ve been experiencing here in Pittsburgh, and I’m not just […]
Moody Monday
I was having a, well, Moody Monday, but then Sandy texted me that she saw Downtown Jesus having a rest outside of CVS, and it made me smile. I love that my co-workers text me now with Downtown Jesus’s whereabouts! I almost landed in his lap Friday morning when I was leaving the trolley station, […]
happy thoughts on halloween.
Not gonna lie, it sure doesn’t feel like Halloween. I’m still relatively numb and dead inside so my goal for today is HAPPY THOUGHTS and staying busy because you know what they say, life goes on muthafuckas. I mean there was a show called that and everything. (Corky Forever.) Lets start with this inspirational graffiti […]
Thursday Turdsday
I still haven’t quite come back down from this past weekend. Every time I sit down to write in here, I get sidetracked by watching YouTube videos of the BTS concert which is baffling to Henry because he’ll never understand post-show sadness and my inherent need to relive every single of the night by watching […]
On the Bullet Train to “Get to the Point” Town.
Here is a lazy day bullet-point round-up. Remember when I used to write real blog posts? ME EITHER. Chooch texted me the other day with the best news ever: BROOKLINE AMATEUR CAR MECHANIC IS MOVING! This is the guy who lives on the other side of Hot Naybor Chris so in a perfect world, I […]
blogging confessions and sunday sundry
Here I am, up before 8am on a Sunday because kpop gossip has me shook, and as I’m sitting here with my coffee in a quiet house, I’m briefly reminded of a time when writing/blogging was my everything and I would proofread that shit 8x over before hitting “publish” and now, I write things in […]
Friday Five, Mildly Better Than Sticking Your Head In a Bee Hive
This week felt like it was never going to end, OMG, I’m the first person ever to feel that way, I know. But now it’s Friday, I wore jeans to work, I had a seat to myself on the trolley – life’s alright. Here are five things that have been going on in my “alright” […]
Friday Fives Are Better Than Friday Hives
At some point today we will be in Indiana, and I promised to do part of the driving so I won’t be able to liveblog. So instead, I guess have a Friday Five featuring things I’m currently into or thoughts that are glomming onto my brain. It’s a Friday free-for-all. 1. Jonghyun Pins & Making […]
Friday Fively, On Gossip Girl My Least Favorite Was Blake Lively
Yeah boi, it’s Friday (I was going to type Friyay just to be a douchebag but I was afraid you’d think I was serious as I type this while wearing a BUT FIRST COFFEE ringer tee) so let’s pull some five things out a hat and call it a day. My Broken Calf Remember sometime […]
Topics, Very Pressing.
I don’t have the mental endurance to talk to people IRL anymore so it’s all you, Blog. These are some topics I would have broached to people this week if I had energy to form words: Recently, I started hating the guy who lives on the other side of Hot Naybor Chris. I mean, yes, […]
friday fiver, let’s watch macgyver
Wow, just wow, I have been a mental mess. It’s becoming harder and harder for me to have conversations because my mind and mouth are suffering from an extreme disconnect, like get these two into a mediation stat, you know? This afternoon, I went over to talk to our new-ish admin person, Margie, about something […]
Friday Fiver
Today is Friday. Here are five things I’ve been happy about this week, I guess: This Korean art I bought in Insadong that Henry finally hung up for me before it ended up breaking from all the sitting around it did on the dining room table (“OMG just do it yourself” blah blah blah says […]
Gold Pizza & Noraebang: Chooch’s Big Fun Time Korea Farewell 4/1/18
Can you tell that I’ve been supremely dragging my feet with these posts? I know it’s annoying to everyone else that I have approx. 87 posts about a 10-day trip and that we’ve been home for over two months and I still haven’t closed the book on it, but you have to remember that I’m […]
Chooch’s Itaewon Recap: 4/1/18
Hey, Chooch here! The last day of Korea went by with many tears and broken heart fragments left behind. The morning was the same as any morning in Korea, with my feet still sore from the pain and agony of the hills and miles we walked the night before. Although, we never know what we […]
Things From Last Week
Brookline Machete One morning last week, I was walking by Lauren, who eschewed all socially acceptable versions of salutations and instead exclaimed, “Erin, where is your machete?!” She was in the process of struggling to open a box of crackers as she said this so I thought she was facetiously seeking the aid of a […]
Sinsa Sojourn: 4/1/18
Henry rues the day I ever found the Joan Day vlogs on YouTube because a lot of what we did in Korea was influenced by her suggestive Seoul videos. Lots of pink cafes and trendy boutiques and, you know, Gentle Monster. I might never have known about GM if not for Joan Day vlogs! She […]
