Tail Ends of Conversations

The men's and women's bathrooms in my office have their entrances directly across from one another. As I was leaving the bathroom today, my coworker Mark was leaving the men's bathroom. He opened the door and said to someone still in the bathroom "Here's your dollar back, thanks for playing." At that point we were face to face and I began cracking up. He looked a little embarrassed and tried to explain that he was finishing up a story. That made me laugh harder and I told him how wrong it had sounded. We continued to walk in opposite directions down the hall, me laughing hysterically, and him continuing to try and explain.

Long Weekends

I love long weekends, and I try to prepare myself for them before I leave by jotting down the important projects I am working on just before the vacation starts. The problem is, when I come back, what I wrote down is now a cryptic mass of what might as well be Sanskrit that requires a secret decoder ring to figure out.

Welcome to the Ranch (Part Deux)

Cubicle Ranch is a small team project to bring a little humor to everyone's day. Not only will I be sharing funny stories from the goings-on at my 9-5 job, but there is also a store full of all kinds of funny t-shirts, mouse pads, and even wall clocks. Check it out!

Welcome to the Ranch!

Cubicle Ranch- noun. An office with wall to wall cubicles and a handful of offices for the privileged few in a higher tax bracket than yourself.

Throughout college I had odd part time jobs to fill my overly abundant spare time. And I had plenty of them because I have two degrees. But once I crossed that last auditorium stage and accepted my second diploma I entered into a whole new world. I should have known what was in store for me when my first day of work at my first real job was April Fools Day, but it was only a hint of what lay ahead.
