What exactly do I DO for a living?
OOOOO!! Good article!

I have grown tired of seeing this word used within the design community. It is not our word. It is a word created by the advertising industry for their communication purposes. Outside the advertising community, however, it is incorrect grammar.
Now maybe I’m being a bit nitpicky here,...
Identity Crisis.
Yay, happy monday!
So, my title at work is “Art Director”…of a corporate website…but, that really isn’t exactly what I do. I don’t direct any real art, I do as I’m told on projects, little changes here, little changes there-very little room for creative art direction. I got hired on at this company as a Graphic Artist, which is a bad enough...

Go ahead, rub it in that my job is a bore to my life…do I feel alive? Well, I’m still breathing, I guess…

– -the Jersey Shore show
So, there is this email ring going around about the new Jersey Shore show on MTV (from the same people that made Laguna…I’m pretty sure) and people were writing back and forth making fun of the accents and such, and then this email comes in…I just rolled my...

4 hours and counting...
I’m still awake, must be my nerotic sleepless self, obsessing over what I have to bring in tomorrow for our “Gee Golly…we have Team Spirit…THanksgiving Department pot-luck lunch” ug. I don’t even eat meat…so, I’m not complaining (free food rocks), but, I can’t help but feel like….”YOUR TURKEYS GREAT AND ALL, but GIVE ME AND MY...

ALL CUBED IN
I’m not entirely sure why anyone would want to look at a photo-essay of cubicles, as if they are some exotic rarity, but just in case you DO find these sorts of things exciting, here’s a link just for you!

Why Your Co-Workers Act like Children
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1894164,00.html
Is your boss a bully who needs to feel important and boosts his ego by withholding important information from you? Or maybe you work with someone who is so fearful of argument or criticism that problems go unsolved because she won’t discuss them. And then there’s that guy down the hall who’s constantly annoying...
Things to do in an elevator.
littlemiss:
1) Bring a camera, and take pictures of everyone in the elevator. 2) Move your desk into the elevator, and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment. 3) Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they’d like to play. 4) Leave a box in a corner, and when someone gets on, ask if they hear something ticking. 5) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency...

Mom jokes DO get old.
I know, I know, I can’t really complain, I mean-it is ‘cool’ in a way to work in a corporate environment that is so laid back where it is ok, even encouraged to make Mom Jokes, but it’s getting ridiculous. I do laugh at these jokes though, especially when they are really bad (or really dirty), for example, in a recent meeting we were discussing how a dark crater area of the...

– http://mylifeisaverage.com
Man, there have been multiple times when I’ve gotten copy/fax machine ink on my hands and I simply just wipe it off on other pieces of paper left around the room when nobody is looking….then I laugh. Someone else’s mess to clean up!

I have work to do, but instead I choose to ignore my deadlines and create the worlds greatest RSS feed list. I’m so psyched, now I can have an even more organized, and time consuming way to waste my time at work. It’s all about wasting time efficiently, but seeming like you are busy bee. “Yessssir, I’ll get right on that….”
