Work. It’s what I do. It’s what brought about that “Office Monkey” thing (that’s a LONG story. Okay, a reasonably short one, but still.). I work in an Office, so it makes sense to me, okay, bub?
Over this past weekend, I bought four pounds of M&Ms. I couldn’t find the dark chocolate ones, and I wasn’t about to sacrifice the one dark chocolate bag I have at home, so I settled for the kinds I like, peanut and mostly chocolate. Mind you, I’m not actually allowed to eat any of them
Well, I’m a complete and utter idiot. The word “Fuck up” (pardon my English expletives) comes to mind. I screwed up with work last night. I don’t even have a good excuse — I got a bit distracted. It doesn’t help, though. Probably the worst mistake I’ve made at work. It isn’t insurmountable, I hope,
The show is still as stilted and contrived as I remember, but from the perspective of someone who’s read “If Chins Could Kill” multiple times, I do appreciate the fact that major characters who were around for a season or two are consistently brought back in major roles.

My current assignment at work is to code review a component of Office. code review – To read through every line of source code and examine it for potential security risks. This is even more boring than it sounds, but everyone has to do this around me as well, so it’s shared misery. Not halved,
Thanks Abigail for saying it, and Jonathan for recording it… but it is damn funny.
When you have real work you HAVE to do… Calorie packing. I haven’t been sleeping really well the last few nights, so having a private office is like an invitation to napville. Instead, I’m alternating “power naps” with calories. Chicken Noodle Soup Cup of Soups currently. I need more sleep.
So following on yesterday’s “What am I getting myself into?”, I had a meeting yesterday evening, during which results of some performance investigation I did last week were discussed. Everyone was very surprised by the results — despite my having posted all the results last week for everyone to see — including a summary. So
