Month: July 2003

My observations after a very long day at work:

:: I can use a Marks-A-Lot marker to dial my phone. This requires far less effort than dialing with my hand because I don’t have to reach quite so far.

:: All people that use “Thx” for “Thanks” in business e-mails should be bitch-slapped. Leave the abbreviations in the chat room or on IM – it doesn’t belong in work e-mail. (Note: None of my co-workers did this. It was in documents I was producing for a case.)

:: Having a celebration for a co-worker’s birthday is a good thing. We had food from Chick-Fil-A for lunch, and a birthday cake to go with it. Yummm…

:: Any crisis you can think of is guaranteed to take place while the secretary takes a day off. Documents will be lost, things will be going crazy, it will be a madhouse. When the secretary returns (thank goodness she’ll be back tomorrow!) you should always remember to thank her for the peace and sanity she brings to the world.

I noticed on CNN the other day that Flip-flops are gaining office popularity. As cool as it would be to work at an office that allowed flip-flops, I’m thinking it would be really annoying too. Maybe it’s just me, but wouldn’t that “thwap-thwap” sound as people walked down the hall get on your last nerve?

I have to consider things like that when I work in an office where the women outnumber the men.

(How sad is it that I started to write this post on the afternoon of the 22nd and just finally finished it on the 24th? *sigh* Such is how my life goes lately…)
