Oh also: Happy Valentine's Day

When I woke up this morning I had no idea of the horrors that awaited me. I began my work day as usual, sitting at my desk playing a Facebook game, happy as can be.

Suddenly, a car pulled up to the door. I initially paid it no mind but it idled there for a long time so I eventually glanced up...

And there she was. Staring at me. Her eyes empty pits of despair. I was startled but I assumed she was waiting for someone so I went back to my "work."

...I'm not sure what made me look up...

Like some ghostly apparition she appeared standing just outside the door, still staring at me. Frozen in fear, I could not help but look back at her, feeling myself falling further and further into those sorcerer's pinwheels in her face. 

Finally I managed to tear my soul back from the wretched thing. But I couldn't very well leave her out in the cold. I invited her into the lobby to wait for whoever it was that she was here to see. There are two couches in the lobby and abundant floor space. Where did she chose to stand? Right in front of me. Staring. Staring. Forever. And I couldn't help but hear the whispered words of Edgar Allen Poe's prophetic masterpiece:

"Nevermore..."

Tis The Season

Have I mentioned that my coworkers are strange? I have. But they can also be incredibly sweet. Case and point:

They gave me this as a present. It's both freaky and adorable. Much like the people who gave it to me. I'm touched.

In related news, I've become addicted to a new hobby: making lipbalms/sticks/glosses. Unlike many of the hobbies I find myself undertaking, this one seems to have true staying power and at least some potential for return of my investment given that a number of people have expressed interest in purchasing more for their friends and family. :) It's also INCREDIBLY fun to do!

I'm amassing an army. We will take over the world. And it will be FABULOUS.

Happy, Merry Holichrismachanukwamadan/Secular Sunday to all!

Wait For It...

So my favorite office character to write about (the Korean secretary who likes to hum weird things while walking aimlessly around the office) did something today that put a such a huge smile on my face I think I may have sprained something.

While in the midst of her aforementioned hobby of wandering and humming, she inadvertently began to hum the following melody. Please keep in mind: she is weird and Asian.



After laughing my ass off at my desk for a few minutes, I realized this was the perfect opportunity to finally use the Ninja Candi I drew a while ago. Enjoy.
