What work looks like

My big project at work this week: take employee photographs for BigCorpthattookoverus' badges.
Does that fit into my job profile? No.
Will that let me advance up the corporate ladder? Highly doubtful.
The methodology involved in completing project: send out emails, hunt down people.
A thought: There's always one person in office that you want to talk to and be friends with but if you do it without the help of a project, you just come out as some despearte weirdo?
For me, it's JR. He's funny, has the best come backs and is gloriously and outrageously gay.
And now, because of the project, is roomie and mine's Friday drinking partner.

That's JR's hair, dyed red and made spikey for badge
















My cute casual Friday shoes.
















My gigantic headphones through which men at work whisper in my ears about the land down under
















The evil and ancient color printer. Gerry calls it my personal nemesis. It has been resurrected from dusty storage room just so I can print my colorfully designed corporate brochures.
It stops printing after every 50 pages and spits out a "caliberating NOW" message. When it does that, even the IT people are scared to go near it.

There are three printers in my office, two color and one not (that's mine). One of the color printers hates me. I call her Pamela and she's a bitch. So, I know what you mean.:)

ugh! I have a brand spanking new - purty as can be color printer at work.

It copies one page, overheats and then shuts down. I have to leave it off for at least an hour before I can turn it back on.

I feel your pain.
