Happy Get Out of My Cubicle and Stop Sending Me Emails Day!

I would like to dedicate this day to the hardworking, underpaid, hardly appreciated employees out there that suffer continuously from the micromanaging, controlling, "I'm better than you" complex driven individuals that push us to the brink of insanity on a daily basis. You know, your bosses. Today is for anyone who has ever said "Hey, my boss is kind of annoying." or "No ma'am, I have not had a chance to do that yet because you just sent me the email 5 seconds ago and it is not the only thing I have to do today and emailing me 5 more times in rapid succession does not make me work any faster." or "Please, don't set that guy on fire. It's not funny. But rather quite illegal." (No seriously. This really happened to someone I know.)

I apologize if you are a boss and feel that I am giving bosses everywhere a bad name. I am sure YOU are the perfect boss and your employees love you and everything you do. Yes, I am quite sure of it.

But if you are treated at times as a lowly underling like me, then you must know exactly where I am coming from. Unless you are employed by one of the perfect bosses mentioned above. In which case, I spit on you. Not really. Hire me?

I shant say another word, lest I be persecuted for my insubordination. But just know, my fellow cubicle inhabitants, this day's for you, and there is someone else out there, somewhere, wishing they too could chunk their stapler at people's heads. Underlings Unite.

Today's Talking Points

• Yes, I would say some sort of revamping of the notification system should occur. Ugh, poor family.
• I'm with sweet little Taylor on this one. Yes, Kanye is a total jerkface, but is that really anything we didn't already know? I am glad the media went off on him, because he totally deserved it. But this is NOT the first time he has pulled some kind of crap like this. Why don't we all just start ignoring him and other similar celebrity fools and maybe when they realize they can't get publicity anymore they will finally GO AWAY. Just a thought.
• Really don't know what to think of this yet. Could be hilarious. But on the other hand, why not have just 3 judges again? It was a better format. They all talk too much anyway. And besides, what authority does Ellen have on musical talent? I realize how unimportant this is in the greater scheme of things. Humor my unnecessary concern.
• You so should be watching GLEE.
• Has anyone seen the "new" Jay Leno show yet? Is it worth wasting dvr space?
• Interesting. I feel like there is some kind of deep intellectual commentary in here somewhere about the importance of social networks and instant communication in our society. Meh.
• Seriously? Racism is a horrible thing. But jumping to this conclusion for the next 4 years everytime someone disagrees with the President? Insulting and inaccurate. Man should not have blurted out "You Lie"- that was disrespectful indeed. But COME ON.
• In entertaining fake news... Small inside joke to Amy: GONE WITH THE WIND! STONEHENGE!

9.11

Still get choked up watching footage. I don't think anyone will ever forget where they were when it all played out. Very important to remember what happened. God bless our soldiers protecting us today. This day always makes me feel extremely proud of my country. God Bless America.

09-09-09

*Today is 09-09-09. I feel like I should be doing something special. ...

*Random thought of the day. I love DVR. I can record beloved movies and TV shows and watch them whenever I please. Herein lies the new troubling condition I have developed: I keep episodes of shows or movies I have already watched on there so long, that now I can't bring myself to delete them because what if maybe, just maybe, someday I will want to watch them again? And if I delete them, won't I be mad someday when the only thing I want to do is watch them and they AREN'T THERE? So I keep them all and then eventually my DVR memory starts filling up and I have to make difficult, heart wrenching deleting decisions just so I can record more crap on TV. It is the new technologically advanced version of packrat-ism and hoarding. Here is the worst part: the movies I currently can't bear to part with? Au Pair and Labor Pains. Yes folks, THIS is the painstaking decision to delete I cannot make.

*Saw "All About Steve" on Monday. O. M. G. HORRIBLE. Least funny movie I have seen since "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". The only funny parts were most likely not meant to be funny. Towards the end, it got so ridiculously cheesy and stupid, my friends and I couldn't help but mock the crap out of it. I didn't like one single character in the movie. They were either completely vapid and unlikeable, or they were spastic and bizarre and sad to watch and generally unbelievable as humans. Don't waste your money.

*Self realization #1,256: I don't like meatballs.

*Some people are nuts. Others are judgmental. Some are both nuts and judgmental. Avoid these people. Really, they should be required to wear signs. Especially the ones that lie dormant for 3+ years and then suddenly attack you with their "high-and-mighty-I'm-better-than-you" crazy. I'd respect them more if I knew upfront- you know, like "Well, I DID see their sign, I had my warning....guess I can't be too upset now..."

*I just ate like an entire slab of jalapeno cheese. Regret in approximately...now.
