Random Tuesday

My bank has started this exciting new service. Every day they will send you a text message with your account balance. Just what I need, a daily reminder of how little money I have in there.

There are only 2 ways I can eat lunch at the office: stuff everything in my face within 5 minutes or take 2 hours managing a bite here and there. Both ways suck. The 5 minute plan gives me heartburn or an upset stomach or both. The 2 hour plan entices everyone who walks in my office to exclaim, "You're STILL eating?" I'd give anything for a quiet 15-20 minutes of lunch time. Just me, food and eonline.com.

Dollface and I were in a candle shop on Saturday making up names for all the candles we thought smelled bad. Some of the top winners where "Dirty Old Man" and "Struck Wet Match". I should really go into marketing. I think I have a knack for it.

Sadly, one of our associates died last February. He was a wonderful man and very popular. Unfortunately, many people still don't know he passed away. So, they sent him a Christmas card. (he was Jewish - go figure) I have the glorious task of calling all these people and telling them he died. Just call me Scrooge. I bring you tidings of death and despair.

That's a wrap, lovers. Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine!

  1. I hate that eat at your desk thing. If I don't get out for a few minutes I go crazy.

    I like you candle scent titles. I think some smell like "wet dog" and "refrigerator science experiment".

  2. I need at least an uninterrupted 15 minutes to eat and regroup.

  3. I think that while you make those calls - you treat yourself to a wonderful cupcake or baked good - I believe that's how he would have wanted it ;-)

  4. Don't you have a door you can slam in their faces and say "yes I'm still eating because assholes like you keep bothering me!"??

  7. I definitely don't want my bank balance texted to me on a daily basis. Ugh. Though I suppose there are folks who probably SHOULD!

  8. Ugh! I'm not sure what's worse, calling to inform people that they sent a Christmas card to a dead man or seeing your bank balance every day via text.

    Right now, I'd rather make those calls...
