Friday, August 26th, 2005

later that day I recieved a post it with the following:

Christina,

(followed by a tiny classified ad clipping that said:)

I got to my desk this morning to find the following on my desk:

Christina: F.Y.I.

followed by a newspaper clipping with the following:

"FEMALE SOCIAL DRINKERS CAN EARN $$$

Women of color and white woment wanted for a study on alcohol and social interactions between men and women. Participants must be unattached female social drinkers, age 21-35. Will be paid $10/hr up to $65. Call  . . . blah blah blah . . . Part of a project at the University of Washington Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute."

Why me? Is there free alcohol? . . . .

Gopher

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

I got caught doing the gopher today at work by the Human Resources Director. For those of you who don’t know what a gopher is, it is when you pop your head up above your cubicle wall to look around and then sit back down in your chair. You know you do it . . .

The good thing is that we can all laugh about it afterwards and then other people pop their heads up to see what the laughing is all about. God Bless Cubicles and their creators.

However, me and a certain friend of mine might be kissing the cubicle life goodbye. Hello office with a window. A window that looks out onto a shady alley. An alley where homeless crack addicts sleep. And across the alley, a place where squatters live and furtively peer out of windows.  Ahhhh . . . life is good.
