Things Not to Do

Don't forget you have to attend a "Professional Presence" workshop and further emphasize that you forgot by showing up with a face that has gone unshaven for two weeks. Especially if you can't even grow a beard and you just look homeless. Inevitably the topic of grooming came up and the senior management in attendance had to try extra hard to not call me out in front of the group.

Lost & Found

I've had the pleasure of changing cubicle locations 4 times in my less than two year career. Luckily this has previously been a result of being hired and subsequently promoted twice, but this most recent move, it seems, was just a result of a corporate shakeup. Just mix things up, see how the people react. Because of course, shuffling seating can lead to more productivity...or something.

Anyway, the most recent move unfortunately took me away from my corner window and into the middle of an aisle on a higher floor. The only positive thing to come from the move was the above item, a "glare shield," if you will, which this cube's previous owner left behind. It's interesting how much clearer my monitor is with this strange device. Also, one of these retails for about $95. I'm just sayin....

Most Blogs Die

It's hard to tell when this blog jumped the shark. Some will say it was doomed before it ever began. Others will point out that I'm just lazy. Me? I blame the financial markets. It was September 29th to be exact, the day the markets died. Ironically, while the economy is in the shitter my job has become increasingly more important and busy. Thus I have nothing office related to blog about. But really, did I ever?
