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.

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 […]
Brain Bile, in Bullets
I am a tightly-wound ball of nervous energy this week. Let’s bullet it out. Yesterday, I was waiting for the elevator to go down to the lobby. One of the mail room guys was waiting with me, but he was going up. When one of the elevators stopped, he held the door open and said, […]
Mental Tendrils
These bulletpoints are brought to you by: lack of sleep, Fran Drescher’s bray, and the Korean letter ㅊ which always reminds me of those weird twig-person things from The Blair Witch Project which, coincidentally, I made a bunch of several years ago when I decorated my co-worker Mitch’s office with a “Blair Mitch” theme for […]
Saturday Six Minus One
This was intended to be a Friday Five but then I went all in after work yesterday on putting the finishing touches on my cult & spiritual leaders Valentine minis which have been plaguing my brain since I first decided last year that I wanted to make them. Hopefully people like them, so look forward […]
It’s Friday and Here are 5 Latest Happenings
It’s a rainy day, I’m working late shift, and a T-ara playlist is blasting behind me on YouTube. Overall, not the worst Friday. Here are 5 things off the top of my head that I feel like memorializing on this damn thing: SPOILED FUCKING BRATS Last week, Henry ordered some shit on Amazon and Chooch […]
Friday 5: Xmas Workout Edition! LET’S CHRISTMASIZE!!!
Guys, sometimes I don’t feel exactly inspired to workout. Maybe I’m tired from a mentally taxing day at work or maybe my body is just like “Yo please give us a break, lady” because I’ve overdone it with HIIT workouts that week. But I still want to do something! Usually I’ll start searching for niche […]
Friday is Still Friday in Whatever Language “Igbo” Is….
…but five is “ise.” My Cat Brian I recently watched the second season of Mindhunter. Don’t even get me started on how much I disliked the first season! It took me forever to slag through because it was so boring and I FUCKING HATED “DEB” and kept waiting for her to go away because Henry, […]
Oh Honestly, Erin Presents: a Bulletpoint Post
Pull up a (toilet) seat. It snowed one day last week and I think the general consensus here in Pittsburgh was one giant, jutted middle finger. Not only did it snow, but it was all gray skies and complete mid-January desolation out there, except that it’s still November and we want to be enjoying the […]
Friday 5: Kind of Like Sticking Your Head in a Beehive
Well, this was supposed to be last Friday’s “Friday Five” thingie but I’m a scattered mess inside that head of mine. So let’s try this again for today, I guess. Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve used a similar Friday 5 title in the past. Oh well. THAT TIME I WAS A PAWN IN A GAME […]
