What's Wrong With You ?

It's Wednesday, people of blogland ! I love confession days because it allows me to get my rage out.  A day to get out all the wonderful things I want to say so desperately, but don't due to political correctness, professionalism, or just not wanting to be a rude, raging bitch. WHOO ! This weeks confession theme is brought to you by: my office.  Or offices in general.  Or any type of job that requires you to interact with people.  Let's begin.

// My office is my space. Not the place for emo bands, more like my personal bubble.  DO NOT COME BEHIND MY DESK.  I don't walk into your office and start touching your stuff, do I ? Exactly.

// What is it about an office environment that automatically makes everyone SLOBS ? I have called the exterminator 4 times in the past 2 weeks because my office seems to have an infestation of ants.  Where ? Oh, around the chips on the floor.  And the rouge M&M chilling over here by the window.  Wait, why are these things over here ? Are you, a bunch of 30 something and up adults, throwing junk food at each other ? And then not cleaning it up ? And then wonder why you have ants ?

// Speed Racer in the parking lot. Stop it. Let people cross the cross walk.  It's not going to kill you. And when you speed to only pull up in front of the building to park in a spot that you know you're not supposed to park (because it's a walkway and NOT a place for you to chill) - you look like the douche bag you really are. Knock it off.

// To the people that ask my boss a question, then come and ask me the same question, hoping for a different answer: We are not your parents.  If mommy says no, and you ask daddy, the answer will be "What did mommy say?" Grow up.

// Meetings.  I waste an hour of my day every Wednesday to put together a list that tells someone how to do their job.  Because otherwise they don't do it.  First, I have to have a meeting with my boss to talk about all the things we need to address...I HAVE TO HAVE A MEETING ABOUT THE MEETING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE. And then I sit through the actual meeting of telling this person what to do - basically reading off the list I made in the first meeting.  And the whole time, they sit there, listing all the excuses of why they haven't done it, can't do it, didn't know they were supposed to do it.  Why are you still employed ?!

All the office rage at stupid people.

Do you have people like this where you work ?

Facepalm

I logged in this morning so I could head over and hear all about Alyssa's big news (hint: it's super good news for her !) and realized that all those fun posts I scheduled...never actually posted.  Not a single one.

I can't help but laugh because honestly it's just the icing on the cake of my life at the moment. Oh well.  My intentions were good.  And I'm over here laughing so hard because I spend a good portion of my job writing policies and procedures for a company and I can't follow simple instructions.  The irony is not lost on me.

So now that I have an explanation as to why my inbox has been so empty, I'm going to go giggle to myself while I spend today making overly detailed "How to" instructions for people to follow.

Seriously guys, I can't stop laughing.  This isn't really that funny but apparently I think I'm hilarious.  I think I've lost it. Am I crazy ? (The answer is yes.)  I hope you're laughing at  with me !

What's the silliest thing you've accidentally done ?

Happy Birthday !

Can you believe that 1 year ago today, From Zero to 13.1 started ?! I mean, have 365 days seriously passed already ?

Wow.  Just wow.

Did you miss it ? Don't worry, the posts didn't go anywhere so you can click through them and catch up !  I will say that after looking back at the posts from last year vs thinking about everything that's happened, I'm going to make a point to be more open.  I feel like everyone has a tiny, microscopic glimpse into who I am based on what I've posted and that's cool and all, but I feel like there's SO MUCH MORE we could talk about, explore, and learn.  

25 Things

25 Get to Know Me’s

1. What is your middle name?: Marie.  Pretty sure every girl born in the 80's had this name

2. What was favorite subject at school?: High School would be Performing Arts or Chorus.  College was Epistemology.

3. What is your favorite drink?: I could drink white mocha soy lattes forever. I especially love when there's a shot of vanilla added.  I'm in sugary, chocolatey heaven.:)

4. What is your favorite song at the moment?: I can't pick just one, but right now I find myself gravitating towards The Pretenders "500 Miles" when I can't think of what else to listen to at the moment.
