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.

Thanksgiving Eve 2021 Bullet Points
Yo yo yo. I’m feeling bullet-y today. Let’s do this thing. I’ll even sweeten the pot with some CAT PICS. My Squirrel-whispering (or, “whistling” as it were) ability is getting even more skilled. Over the weekend, one of my Buddies was in the neighbor’s yard (the one who hates squirrels!) so I whistled for him […]
Friday Five: Halloween Workout Edition!
The weather in Pittsburgh this week has been chilly & rainy. Now, I’m no sissy when it comes to walking in the rain, but sometimes I do prefer getting my steps in without fucking around with an umbrella. Thank god for walking workouts on YouTube, amirite? In honor of Halloween, I thought it would be […]
Friday! Woo! High FIVE!
There is nothing quite like a Friday in October to get the butterflies in my belly all boisterous. I love this month so much! I am going to write about FIVE THINGS today that have me in a GOOD MOOD, which means I can’t write about the ongoing DOMESTIC DRAMA on the other side of […]
A Blah-y Friday Five
Hello. Here is a very half-hearted Friday Five. I have had a pretty down week. THE RACCOON There was a raccoon on our porch two nights ago, helping himself to the squirrel food in the bistro. It was so exciting! I screamed about how I had never seen a raccoon that up-close before, and Henry […]
Autumnal Things I’m Looking Foward To
I know it’s only September 1st and still very summer (although today it’s rainy and with just enough chill in the air that I can comfortably wear SWEATPANTS, yessir thank you very much) but I am already getting the tickley sensation in my belly thinking about upcoming FALL stuff. I’m not a super holistic person […]
Friday 5s are still alive
Yeah, I’ve got very little in me right now so let’s see if I can actually dredge up five whole things from the swamp that is my mind. 1. Hubcap Heaven I saw this picture of Clarissa Explains It All on Instagram the other day and cracked up because for some reason back when this […]
Just some things unrelated to roller coasters and vacations
In an effort to cleanse the eyeballs of rollercoaster-related word overload, here is a round-up of bullets featuring the latest bullshit in my life. Wow, such self-importance. Over the weekend, I had this dream where Henry turned out to be some sort of immortal entity, it had something to do with apples like he was […]
F-r-i-d-a-y 1-2-3-4-5
Another emotionally exhausting week, coming to a close. Let us celebrate with a photo-dump from my phone and WELL I DON’T KNOW, five things!? In the Words of My Dad… I think about this a lot, but it’s funny how similar I am to my dad considering he’s not my biological father. I guess living […]
Friday Five: vive le vendredi*
*(Is this even right, I don’t FRENCH. I KOREAN. Barely.) This week has really been an emotional whirlwind and I am glad to have reached the end. Here is an assortment of FIVE THINGS that happened or are just ON MY MIND (what little I have left of it!). Unmasked Entitlement Chooch and I went […]
Friday Five: AAPI Music that Will Enhance Your Playlist
When I first started to listening to Kpop in 2015, I was surprised for several reasons: I don’t know what I was expecting Kpop to sound like, but my first impression was to think: “Holy shit this music is better than anything I’ve been hearing on American radio.” I was TOTALLY part of the problem, […]
Friday 5: From Pelicans to Fudge Factories
Henry’s Pelican Rescue Club Did you guys know that the Greek island Mykonos has a pelican mascot names Petros? I didn’t either until I was watching a YouTube video about Mykonos and there was this big ass friendly bird hanging around a cafe/bakery-ish place and all of these people were treating him like he was […]
Friday 5: Memories & Music
Oh why hello there. Warning: this is going to be completely scattered. I mean, when is it not. But you know. Math Blasting Myself in the Foot OK OK OK, listen. It’s no big secret that I was a Big Spoiled B when I was a kid. Good thing that didn’t shape who I am […]
Friday is For Fomenting Facts
I honestly don’t think I ever even heard the word “foment” before until that former President, forever dingleberry Trump incited an insurrection and suddenly that was the word du jour on all the news channels. Anyway. Just wanted an excuse to use that. So here are some things, not necessarily five as we’re wont to […]
A Friday Five / Things Around My House mash up
Is it weird to have your own art hanging in your house? I don’t think so, I guess. Most of my art is birthed from inside jokes (like the Tony Stewart portrait I painted for Henry while he was at store and he didn’t even appreciate it or the Ham Sandwich AF painting after I […]
High-Five, It’s Friday
Gonna be real honest here (I dunno why I always preface shit with that, as though I’m typically FAKE NEWS’ing my way through these updates), this is most TGIF’ish I’ve felt in a long while. Here are five things plus some photos that have nothing to do with anything. Henrys Voice Crush I guess helping […]
Friday Five: Things I’ve Recently Liked
You know, because I’m such an influencer (*eyeroll*). CLOTHES I saw this precious blouse in an Instagram ad and you know how fly-by-night those companies can be! But I did some research and the fact that the clothing was moderately pricey combined with finding the personal IG accounts of the artist & designer who collaborated […]
The First Friday Five of 2021
In lieu of doing some phony, gratuitous recap of 2020 (I think we can agree that we all have the same feelings for it!) or making up some lame resolutions (last year at this time I predicted that 2020 was going to be the best year yet so imma just chuck that Nostradamus act off […]
Superstuffed Weekend
I mean, as super and stuffed as a weekend during a pandemic can possibly be, which isn’t really much but as I sit here on HINDSIGHT tuffet, it really does feel like a decent amount of stuff happened and you know me, always keeping the ol’ LOG updated for alibi accuracy. So come on, Mary. […]
A Feeble Attempt at a Friday Five
Today is the three year anniversary (that word seems not right) of Jonghyun’s death and I burst into tears thinking about that while I was doing the dishes this morning and so let’s do a Friday five to distract that blog-author, can we? Can we really? I’ve been off work all week but as usual, […]
Friday Five: Work Anniversary Edition
You guys. On Wednesday, those of us in the Pittsburgh office of the law firm who celebrated a five-year incremental anniversary this year (is that even how you would classify that??) were invited to attend a virtual recognition ceremony. I have had to type “recognition” approx. 27 times this week and have tried to squeeze […]
