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.

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 […]
Sick Thoughts
Hey babes (???), I was sick from Thursday morning until, well, I’m still kinda sick (we’re at Slim-Fast-flavored cough phase) and basically my life is just wasting away because Henry was all YOU NEED TO REST and I really don’t know how to do that but I did try a little. Apparently, if I had […]
Friday Five: Hole-y Desks, Henry the White Knight, Corgi Mail — AND SO MUCH MORE
I’m always so happy to make it to Friday – doesn’t it feel like a VICTORY? Here are five things that have happened since last Friday because contrary to popular belief, I actually am back to living my life in Pittsburgh and not still stuck inside my head with Korea memREEZ. :( A NEW DESK […]
bang bang: word bullets coming atcha
All I can think about is the fact that we leave NEXT TUESDAY for our vacation and I am having such a hard time focusing on anything else, including blogging. Also, the last two nights I have had the worst sleeps and I think it’s because I’m so excited/wired/nervous about this trip that my nerves […]
Five for Friday: Three Fridays From Now I’ll Be in Korea, Yay!
My job gave all of the US offices the day off today and even though I am uncomfortable celebrating anything related to glorifying this strange and backward country right now, I am still happy to not have to go to work after volunteering to work yesterday’s holiday shift which exploded on me right out of […]
Friday 5: Bells and Blood and Beer and Broken Homes and Beatings
It’s Friday, you guys, which means I’m that closer to the next amusement park trip! However you have to get through the work week, amirite? Anyway, here’s some stuff – well, five to be exact since it’s FRIDAY – that went down this week. Can’t promise it’s going to be exciting or informative, but I’ll […]
A Week’s Worth of Words
I haven’t felt like blogging lately. But here’s a bullshit bulletpoint cop-out post because it’s a rainy Sunday morning and there’s nothing else to do right now so I remembered this thing exists. Chooch is like falling apart since we began working out in December. He acts like he’s some ancient being with creaky joints […]
Words About a Work Week
Suh, my pallies (whoever is left – I stopped paying people to read this). Here are some recaps of the current work week, because things happened, as they often do in that game called life. Please also enjoy some photos of DOWNTOWN which I took on Friday. It was a gloomy day. Staff Appreciation Day […]
April Affairs
Why does winter drag the fuck along like a person with a poorly-fitted prosthetic but then April hits the deck running? This month is more than halfway over and it’s been a blur, and we still have two more weekends that are teed up for some action. I haven’t had much energy or free time […]
Friday Five: What If I Had a Secret Son Named Clive
Oh damn, end of the week already. Well, let’s get this Friday Five thang started. I know, I can’t believe I’m still blogging, either. Stick a fork in it, Erin! Random “look it’s spring in the city” picture. WTF Lunch and Apple Slumming Typing this takes guts, because I’m about to admit something that goes […]
On Fridays, I Can Count To Five
You know what day it is. UNSOLICITED PRAYERS I came back from my lunch break walk on Tuesday to the dreaded red light all lit up like a Bad News Beacon on my phone. A VOICEMAIL. NO! Turns out though that it was from some place called the Hope Prayer Center or something, and the […]
Lunch Break Tales: Winter Blues
It’s been a minute since I regaled this bleak corner of the Internet with some Lunch Break Tales. To be fair, not much has been happening because it’s been fucking COLD in case you didn’t know, so I spend most of my time on the streets of PGH walking super fast to stay warm, or […]
Thinking on a Thursday
JUST SOME THOUGHTS THAT NEED DUMPED INTO THIS INTERNET COMMODE. Carry on. I have been feenin’ for some rollerskating action recently (it sucks when the closest rink if run by non-great people which is why we stopped going regularly), and then when I walked into the dentist’s office this morning, RETURN OF THE MACK was […]
Word Bullets for my Blog Pistol, pewpewpew
I have had so much to say but so little time! Most evenings, I’m too caught up in exercise/roller coaster videos/k-dramas to focus on blogging. #EXCUSESOLDASTIME But I do enjoy blasting out these bulletpoint thought collectives and I hope that’s OK. So here’s a recap of WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING ASIDE FROM BREATHING. I […]
Friday Five Is Still Alive (Barely) (It’s On Life Support)
If I were to compose a Friday Five tracklist for today it would look like this: TODAY IS TRASH THIS WHOLE WEEK WAS BAD LAST WEEK WAS BAD TOO JANUARY HAS BEEN A DISASTER UGLY CRYING (WITH WINE) Honestly, all my stress lies in one area of my life but it’s starting to bleed into […]
Lunch Break Tales: January Jollies
Wow, I have been slacking with the lunch break tales! I still go outside for a walk everyday, in spite of the gross winter weather, but I have to speed-walk to stay warm and that makes me less observant to all the oddities transpiring around me. However, human interaction happened 7 TIMES in the last […]
Sunday Somethings
Hello. Hi. Annyeong. It’s been a minute since I did a bulletpoint recap of my life (I think? I can’t remember what bullshit I spray up onto this piece anymore!) so here is a pointless, themeless collection of pictures and thoughts that I need to preserve like some kind of basic berry because I’m obsessed […]
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 […]
