Random Observations

I'm already old and crotchety. 
People who use fake voices at work need to shut up. The Yorkie-pitched "Hi! How are yew todays!," the "Doop de doos!" and the "Good MOOOOOOOOOOOORNings!" make me want to hog-tie and taser you.

Lately I've resulted to doing just the opposite. I like to channel a touch of Roz (from "Night Court) and Ben Stein when I greet people with desert-dry comments such as "Mornin'. Isn't this the most fantastic place you've been yet?," "Don't you just love it here?" and my best yet, "One time as I was hugging a toilet, I thought, 'There just isn't much that's worse than this,' and then ... I came in here today."

That last one got an eye bulge and 3 seconds worth of silence, followed by a "wow." My job's done here folks ... hopefully not literally.

This Halloween.
This Halloween, thanks to

rachel, 

I'm going to be No Child Left Behind. Yes, I'm spending the latter part of my day flashing and pointing at my left butt cheek, but it makes people laugh and I've already gotten candy so it's awesome.

What are you dressing/dressed as?

How many times has Danita listened and danced to Monster Mash today? Twice. It catches on in a splash, so how could I not get my chair mash on?

Every girl needs a workplace survival kit.
I felt a bit warmer under the ol' collar a few minutes ago and then I realized that I had forgotten to put deodorant on this morning. How many of you have forgotten to do that? (Don't raise your hand! Ha!) 

Yes sirree, that's why having an old makeup bag packed with travel-sized deodorant comes in handy! My Secret is thankfully safe and non-stank with me. My kit also includes toothbrush & paste, mouthwash, floss, eye drops, chapstick, headbands, a needle and black thread and a couple of safety pins. This one at SeeJaneWork is also really awesome, but you know you can do that cheaper by raiding the travel accessories aisle at Target. 

Holla.
