Newsworthy!

Here's a real scoop...



I think if/whenever I think I've totally lost it, I'm just going to re-read that bit of news and I'm quite sure I'll feel good about who I am and what I'm doing with my life.

Haven't posted anything in a while, but I have used a few post-its.

It would appear that one of my co-workers felt it was safe to take Monday off. It was not, and the 3M corporation thanks me for the increased sales of their popular Post-It product.

I think my lame office pranks are starting to grow predictable and stagnant. The formula seems to be:

Co-worker is away = Scott (and others) cover desk with crap.


Next time, I think I'll break the chain and just throw someone's shit out the window, or cover their tinfoil in office supplies.

When they return, I'll just deny everything. Now there's a prank. I can see it now...

Co-worker: "Dude... WTF? Where's my desk?"
Me: "Dunno. Haven't seen it."
Co-worker: "Seriously... not funny... where's my desk... my computer..."
Me: "I already told you... I haven't seen it! Fuck off already!!"

...oh the hi-jinks and hilarity that ensues...

In another work-related topic: I must travel to San Diego this weekend for a Pharmacy conference. Aside from scoring free drug samples and visiting the zoo, I'm open to suggestions on things to do in San Diego.

(This site needs a typo counter... mine would be up to around 500 b y now)

i wish you worked in my office.

I got it. Steal a page from The Office tv show. Get in good with the guy who stocks the vending machine and place as much as you can of the guys belonging in the machine for sale.

Foiled!
Category: work
Here's why you should never leave your cube unattended anywhere near mine.

This cube belongs to The PJ, former drummer for a bunch of crappy bands, including my own former band 10 Pound Cock (Long defunct drunken punk rock band, and source of current user sound)

PJ's a coworker of mine and well, we all just felt he needed to be foiled.

As you can see, there's nothing quite like it. It's like a mini-xmas. Oh the joy!

Feel free to rip off this juvenile prank for your own purposes. (I sure as hell didn't invent it.)

Fucking brilliant. I know that Jason would laugh at that.
mrmike - 05/26/06 13:52
That's too damn funny -- what if Bryan Ferry was cast in "Office Space." I applaud your thoroughness

Random Pulp History Tabloid Expose
Category: crap.
Ok, (e:libertad) inspired me with his recent post. (e:libertad,26)

I felt I needed to post some history, American style...

With the Davinci Code movie about to be a big friggin' hit and all, I have been researching the occult and odd twists of history.

It turns out that George Washington is actually a lich (WIKIPEDIA - lich) (All you secret D&D nerds probably won't need that Wiki to know what I mean.)

As it turns out, ol' GW is alive and with us, and still quite manly. He has, however decided that the world is open-minded enough to accept him as the manly woman he always wanted to be, which explains why you'll never see both George Washington and Bea Arthur at the same dinner party.

Then... Fantastic!

Now... Fabulous!

Foul magic indeed.

omg that is too funny.

I always thought the elks/masons were just silly old man clubs, but then all those movies make it sound like there's definitely some more to it... and yesterday in Forest Lawn with (e:ladycroft) I realized that there are masonic icons on like half the stones. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some huge network of undead-president-actors among us!

mrdt...that is discusting!
mrdt - 05/05/06 20:30

Soundtrack for Shy Moments
Category: music
I read (e:jenks,123) and felt compelled to post a soundtrack entry that fits the scene.

We all chicken out when it comes to asking someone out. Asking someone out involves putting yourself out there, ready to be crushed. It's a vulnerable state to be in, like Rhode Island. (No one wants to be in Rhode Island.)

Anyways... here's a great song that might help change the ending of that scene next time. In honor of (e:jenks), I've even posted the song as my user sound.

Scene: Letting someone slip bye without taking a chance. This is the music that should be playing in your head when you finally muscle-up the courage to walk over and ask him/her out.
Song: Stupid
Artist: The Long Winters
Album: When I pretend to fall
Description: A jangly indie-rock track. These guys sound like Wilco meets Paul Weller. They have a strong Weller-like beat here, with the folk-charm of Wilco in a rock song. The lyrics describe a guy who's been too shy to ask someone out his whole life, but decides he'd be more stupid if he never tried. Great motivation. Perfect "soundtrack music" for a soundtrack moment like (e:jenks,123)

Terry just burned me the Long Winters CD- its awesome. I love it. More importantly I'm all about your "soundtracks to life" I feel like with an ipod my life really does have a sound track. Im glad someone else gets that whole feeling...
jenks - 05/01/06 11:36
Ok, just for that I have put up a new user song, about Rhode Island.
scott - 05/01/06 11:14
Ok. You win... but still, Rhode Island's definitely vulnerable. I mean, it's totally surrounded!
jenks - 05/01/06 11:06
oh but I still love it! It's a beautiful place. You should go. I actually have two songs about RI- maybe I'll see if I can put one up as a user sound. (Holiday in Rhode Island, by the Softies)
scott - 05/01/06 10:58
But you are not IN Rhode Island...
jenks - 05/01/06 10:57
You do know I'm from RI, right? hehe
