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.

An Update From My Porch.
(Random pic of Peenlop) Remember in my last post when I mentioned that we were taking a daytrip to Maryland today to go to our favorite Korean market and stock up on makgeolli and soju? Well, I had been internally bugging out about it all week because I just want to be as COVID-compliant as […]
Friday Fives Will Save Our Lives
Lol – lofty statements. 1. Brookline Gets a Veggie Burger …and is this the best picture of it? Nope. But it’s the best you’re gonna get from me at least because I was in a big hurry to start gnawing at this beast and couldn’t really bother with angles and close ups, etc etc. This […]
Coulda Woulda Shoulda Been a Friday Five
It’d be a true feat if I can even come up with five things today because this past week has been a snooze and a half so let’s not even front and just make this a free-form, who-gives-a-fuck type o’ update (as if there’s any other type ’round here!). First of all, I finished (mostly) […]
Friday Fiveday in the House (That We Have Been Stuck In Since March)
Hi peeps. Doesn’t it seem like, in spite of having nothing to do, these weeks are still somehow zipping by? Is it just me? March and April seemed to move in slo-mo, but everything after that has been a whirlwind. Which is strange considering every day is pretty much the same. Anyway! Here we are, […]
Fridays are for Fives: Dumpsters, OG Vloggers, Follow Loops, Wine Bottles from 1986, and Sidewalk Vandalism
Remember in the beginning of quarantine, way back in that month that some of us might remember as “March,” I was doing a Friday 5 recap of my work weeks in quarantine? And then I gave up after less than a month because it made me feel worn out and no way was I going […]
Somethings/Some Things/Sum Theengs
I need to shoot out some thoughts, bullet-style. Stick around – my word bullets are basically just styrofoam pellets so it won’t hurt too much if you get hit, but you mind your eyeballs on those typos. Goggles might help. Henry started working on my Seoul subway sign again on my birthday, per my wishes. […]
Friday Five: Birthday Edition
Celebrating a birthday during a pandemic is pretty depressing, especially when pre-pandemic you had a 5-day amusement park-laden road trip on the calendar. I’m not going to lie and pretend like I was a big girl yesterday and being grateful for the good things because come on–we all know I’m a bitch baby Leo suffering […]
Where I List 5 Things on a Day Called Friday.
Here I am, reporting from the Pioneer Ave construction site. Kitchen is still not done. SOS. How hard can this really be? Anyway, here are five things going on right now that may or may not be kitchen-related, and no, the irony of a person who has little use for a kitchen complaining about not […]
It’s My Day Off, But It’s Friday So Here Are 5….Things?
Hello from Erin’s Day Off! It’s silly how giddy having a day off makes me considering I haven’t been going into the office since March but just knowing that I didn’t have to log on and sit in front of the computer all day (as I’m sitting here on my laptop, lol) made me feel […]
It’s Friday and I’m Feeling Fine x5
Oh boy, another Friday, another list of 5 worthless things. Well, maybe some of these things will be worthy? But first, a rando photo from the Boulevard: I sure hope Jo’s Salon survives COVID-19 because this place and its ever-changing window displays is a true neighborhood institution. (I have never been inside, mostly because I […]
Vegan pints, Japanese crime novels, Korean breads: A Weekend.
Weekend bulletpoints? I DON’T MIND IF WE DO. Sugar Spell did another presale of pints last week, with the pick-up set for Saturday. The last time they did this, I came to the party too late (you snooze you lose etc etc) and the flavors I wanted were sold out. This time, I set an […]
Friday Five Needs a Hand Jive
This week’s list is here for you with no intro because who cares. Another quarantine work week in the books. This week was fine but hectic. I had so many check-in calls this week (yesterday especially) that Chooch was like, “Honestly, how are you supposed to do your actual work?” and I was like, “One […]
Fiveday Friday Featuring Fufu
Here are some things (FIVE to be exact) that I will be talking (TYPING) about today. Put your reading glasses on. (Speaking of, I need those now I think.) But first, random picture of Drew and a dead plant in a pumpkin planter. Geromino Jeff The other night, I was laying in bed, trying to […]
bipolar bullets. bang BANG bang BANG.
I’m a damn mess. Here’s a splooge of bullets because I really just need to hear my fingers typing. I just need that. Let me have that. In one of the recent books I read, I learned about a Ghanaian food called fufu, became immediately fixated on it, and now Henry has watched numerous YouTube […]
Friday Five: Chooch’s Birthday Party Edition
Guys, hold the phone – tomorrow is Chooch’s 14th birthday so I’m devoting today’s Friday Five to my five favorite birthday parties that I threw him hahaha because it’s all about me, why bother asking him for his opinion?! It’s going to be weird not having a party for him tomorrow or taking him to […]
Friday 5: More Lockdown Stuff That Doesn’t Matter (Is This Week 4? WHO CAN BE SURE*.)
*(People with calendars, I guess.) Anyway, here’s another work week, pandemic-style. Keeping track of our mundane lockdown life is at least giving me something to do, I guess. Monday: I literally can’t think of a single highlight. Work was normal. The weather was nice so Chooch and I went for a quick walk during my […]
Friday Five: quarantine week 3 or 4? who cares?
Look. I’m over this. All the days blend together. What did I do on Monday? THE SAME THING I DO EVERYDAY, APPARENTLY. So here are some highlights broken up into five categories I guess, because I have little left to give. Full day recaps? To quote the letter HNC wrote the landlord, “that ain’t happening.” […]
Friday Five: Isolation Edition Week 2
Hello from Week 2 of Covid House Arrest. Things are still weird but I’m grateful that I have a job that allows us to work from home, where I can stay safe with Chooch who is mostly fine to be around, I guess. We both have our moments. Then Henry comes home and creates all […]
Friday Five: Isolation Edition
MONDAY Made Chooch exercise first thing in the morning. This isn’t vacation! I picked a workout that was annoyingly strenuous though and I don’t like hard workouts in the AM, so I guess the joke’s actually on me. Chooch started watching some stupid show on Netflix called On the Block. I hate it. The school […]
This Was Supposed to Be a Friday Five, But….
…I got distracted and didn’t finish writing it, so now it’s Saturday and you can have four things instead of five because what good are rules if you don’t ever break them? Fuck off, Friday Fives! We’re here for Saturday…Fours now. It Always Comes Back to Days Of Our Lives Yo, I was watching SuperM […]
