Repeat, please.

Lady Gaga's Alejandro song. Oh face it, I mean all Lady Gaga songs. I could listen to them on repeat forever! And it didn't help that NPR this morning featured a bit listing all the songs that 'Alejandro' makes them think of. Now I also want to listen to some Ace of Base and Madonna. 'La Isla Bonita' anyone?

Tip O' the Week

I happen to currently work in a building with 10 stories. I'm on 10, the "Penthouse". In a cube though, so my view is not picturesque but beige all over. Anyway, my tip for today is about utilizing the floors in your office building, specifically the break rooms on the floors in your building.

Let me tell you a little story...yesterday I had to mosy on down to the 8th floor vending machine, as I was in search of Puffy Cheetos. They were out of stock on 10, and 9 was closed for cleaning. However, on the 8th floor, not only were Puffy Cheetos available but there was a buffet of leftover food from something. A party-celebration thing that required pasta salad, spinach dip in a bread bowl, hummus with pita triangles and sushi. Awesome! Not but a day before, I found chocolate cream puffs out for consumption in the break room on my floor! yum. e.

TIP: So the next time your feeling peckish at work, ideally around 2-4pm, check out the break rooms. All the break rooms.

Greetings Sirs and Madams

Work is fun and stuff.


The idea here on this blog is to discuss the little things that make work fun and interesting. Obvisouly I don't mean lame stuff like acutual work, but the moments in between that make your day. For instance the office Halloween costume contest, where the bearded lady won. Or days when there is birthday cake. Or when those special order pens you like arrived. Zebra brand in black AND blue? :)

Hope you enjoy and share your 'work is fun and stuff' moments.
