January 2012
Since I started at my job last February, my hours have been 8-4.
When we move offices, I’m going to ask to switch to 7:30-3:30.
I work from home once a week, but plan to increase it to 2 in the next couple of months.
If I ever have to work 9-5 again, I might shoot myself.
My boss and I are dressed almost identically...
Brown/purple patterned dress
Brown cardigan
Brown boots
I just responded to a chain email with a gif and no one has said anything.

I really wish more vendors would understand I have...

There’s one in particular who will send me an email with all the information I need and then call immediately after hitting send. Nope, not answering.
Or the one who you have told you have no interest in their service and they show up at your office and spend 20 minutes in the lobby writing you a note and giving you a box of cookies? And then after emailing again saying thanks...

On Resourcefulness
I just bought some kind of table/entertainment center type thing from HomeGoods.
It didn’t lay flat in my trunk by like, 1/8 inch, therefore the trunk didn’t shut.
I had no string/twine (why would I?!) so I unclipped the long, removable strap from my purse, hooked it onto the trunk and anchored it underneath my car somewhere.
Voila!
Fuckin’ purses, man!

On Kitchen Duty
Here at my place of employment, there is a system for keeping the kitchen clean. It’s called Kitchen Duty.
For 1 week a year (which I realize isn’t that much) every employee is assigned to Kitchen Duty. It’s your job to run, empty and even load the dishwasher, if dishes have accumulated in the sink while it was running. Aside from the serious issues I have with touching other...

I have nose issues.
In the winter I get pretty severe nose issues.
I won’t make you read this unless you want to and think you can help me, because it’s definitely TMI. If you want to continue:
OK so mostly in the winter (dry air) I get, for a lack of a better term, scabby, boogery things in my nose. They obstruct my breathing and hurt. Blowing my nose irritates it more, I think, but they just...

3 Surprising Reasons to Give Up Soda →
By now, it’s probably fair to say that most Americans know soda isn’t a health-promoting drink. Over the years, the carbonated beverage has been blamed for the obesity epidemic and rising healthcare costs. Some public health experts have even called for a soda tax to help deter people from drinking so much of it. While love handles and diabetes are obvious problems associated with...

A Problem
Dropped my car off down the street this morning (7:30) to have the headlight looked at.
Called at 2:12 to ask what was going on as I had not heard from them.
Told me they’d call back in 30 minutes.
It is now 3:45 (1.5 hours later) and no phone call.
I leave work at 4:00 pm.
As of now, I do not have a car.
This is a problem.
I've never purchased anything from Anthropologie.
Does this get me exiled from Tumblr?
Survey of the Day
Do you feel guilty asking for time off from work?
I always do, and it’s so ridiculous. None of my bosses have ever given me trouble when I need time off, but I tend to get nervous about asking.
Am I alone?

Dear [Redacted],
With all due respect, I’d appreciate it if you stopped contacting me. As I mentioned, we have no need for your services at this time.
Unless, of course, you were planning on sending more cookies.

do they run with you?
Yes they do! They are really good running partners and have so much fun. This week we did 5-mile runs and it seems like they could go more. It’s great because then they come home and sleep until the next morning.

I was going to make a pizza bagel joke when I got to the office but you ruined it. RUINED IT!
Pizza Bagels are nothing to joke about, sir.
Let’s hear your joke anyway.

Soup's On: Chunky Potato-Crab Chowder
emilyposts:
If you only make one soup I recommend all year, it should probably be this one. I love it so much! It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to call it Chowda. And it’s still low-cal.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery (I bend my no-celery rule for soup!)
1 garlic clove, minced
3 1/2 cups (1-inch) cubed red potato (about 1 pound)
