This is what breakfast looked like today and has managed to remain all that I have consumed today. In the hustle and bustle of a crazy work day which involved driving to wapato and toppenish to pick up competitors phone books from their respective chambers (of commerce) and cutting out many many ads I forgot to eat lunch. "yeah my pants feel a little loose"  This rarely happens, I will say I love my job the most when I have some errand to run. Something, that in a normal situation would never be fun is the best news ever. There will probably never be a time when Dave and I are sitting in the garage and the following conversation takes place.

"Man I'm bored" - Josh

"Yeah Man what do you want to do until the girls get home?" - Dave

"I don't know what do you think we should do man" - Josh

"Well Man we could drive to wapato and toppenish to pick up competitors phone books from their respective chambers (of commerce) "  - Dave

"Yeah Man let's go!!!!!" -Josh 

I just get the feeling that situation will probably never occur. However when someone suggests that in a work environment, my reaction is similar to the reaction I would have right now if someone offered me a Quiznos Turkey Ranch and Swiss. AKA I'd be all over that.  .....Man I'm hungry. 

That being said nothing really exciting happened at work today. No I didn't hear Jackie sing "I heard it through the grapevine". No I didn't have to explain to Dawn how to eject a cd from her computer. And No Phyllis didn't launch into one of her "history of the yellow page industry" sermons. Except she did teach me that Dex, Embarq, and Sprint yellow pages are all divisions of H.R. Donnley... Oh that didn't mean anything to you? Join the club. 

James will be here tonight which = awesome. What doesn't = awesome I'll probably be asleep when he gets here... I wonder if I take a nap when I get home if I can just stay up all night...hmmmm. 

Welcome to my life.

So I'm starting a new blog.  We'll see how long this lasts. It will be an account of all my "awesome" stories from work as the happen with the most vivid descriptions because they will be fresh in my mind. This way i won't have to try and remember the name of the song that played on the soft rock hits station 4x today when I try and explain to someone how much I hate Billy Preston and how "nothing from nothing means..." I'm gonna throw the radio through the window..... the only window in our office that is not tinted,  which just so happens to be the one right behind me that shines directly onto my computer screen. Good idea?

 No one will read this. 

Really my work is not that bad, I enjoy my job, it's just sometimes I get a bit annoyed and need a place to vent and hopefully along the way some other people can laugh or at least identify with someone.   

So my first amazing story for the day is as follows. 

 

Last night the construction crew started working on putting our walls up. That's a good thing what it really means is when the salesman are having their video conference with the owner of the company I will not be the weird guy walking around in the background to and from the copy  machine multiple times.  What's not a good thing is hearing everyone argue whether the frame they have so far is actually the right size of 10 ft. 

"I say it's 6 ft" - Jackie

"Looks like 7.5 ft to me" - Dawn

"No No its easily 9 ft" - Ida 

Ding Ding Ding. Ladies and gentleman Ida is your winner. Now for my comments during this conversation. 

"Jackie how could this be 6 ft tall when I am close to 6 ft and cannot reach the top" 

Her response... Swear to God .... "Maybe it's 6 ft metric" I'll give you a minute to digest that and wipe the tears from your eyes. 

Also 7.5 ft seems like a ridiculous guess to me.  but who knows maybe she was talking about 7.5 ft metric.
