I'm going to be responsible for crushing many...
Take Your Kids To Work Day is a week from today, and I’ve (hilariously) been asked to let the six kids that will be in our office job-shadow me. My job is pretty extremely uncool. No kid (and by kid, I mean grade 9) is going to be interested in what I do! It’s going to be like when Pam from The Office has to bribe the kids with candy and talk about how she gets to shred...

The stupidest thing I did today (so far)
Someone has placed a giant bowl of Halloween candy on my desk and I have been surreptitiously eating most of it. This presents a problem mainly because I’m technically not supposed to eat at my desk. There’s been a lot of hiding candy under papers and ducking behind my computer to scarf something quickly. I worked my way through all of the chocolate, and then ate all the Tootsie Rolls...

We have blue soup to start, orange pudding to end,...
Bridget: How’s it look?
Mark: Uh, great. It’s, um, blue.
Bridget: Blue?
Mark: No, but, blue is good. If you ask me there isn’t enough blue food.
Bridget: Oh, shit! It must be the string.
Mark: Oh, it’s string soup?
Colin Firth might be at his best in Bridget Jones’s Diary. As Jack Donaghy says, the man can wear a sweater.
CAN I AGAIN EMPHASIS HOW WEIRD TODAY HAS BEEN?
my actions caused someone to cry! this almost never happens
I was so stressed for most of the morning I was doing my mom’s trick of holding onto my thumbs, which was helpful in a distracting way, but then also made me look a bit crazy. I should have also started muttering to myself to really pull it off
I ran into someone I haven’t seen since high school! And he goes to the same...

AWKWARD
As if my day wasn’t weird enough already, the girl at the burger place looked at Peter and I and asked, “Are you guys brother and sister?”
Uh. No. Not at all.

I am in favour of these new architects
On the bus back to Toronto yesterday, I sat next to a girl who was typing away on her laptop. Occasionally I would (nosily) glance over at what she was working on. It looked like floor plans, like for an office, and then I noticed a room labeled “interview/crying room”. OH MAN. How badly do I need a crying room at this office? I have cried here at least four times: twice at my...

The Anxious Hostess
projectgutenberg:
The anxious hostess does not insist on your ceaseless activity, but she is no less persistent in filling your time. She is always asking you what you would like to do next. If you say you are quite content as you are, she nevertheless continues to shower suggestions. Shall she play the phonograph to you? Would you like her to telephone to a friend who sings too wonderfully?...

My to-do list is remaining untouched for the...
Whoa, is there such a thing as October blues? Early onset SAD? I think I have it. But mostly just when I am at work and especially just today. Most days are good, but today everyone in the office is in a weird funk and keep snapping at each other about really small things (like: who will be the first to add food to the food drive bucket? who signed up for this meeting room first? where are...
