I go into the office as early as I do, 4:40am most mornings, because the office is usually empty at that hour and there's no one around to bother me.  The place is quiet and I can get some work...

---

So, because the department is minimally interested in moving us to an entirely new building, one that is larger and able to accommodate all the people we now have in the office, the powers that...

---

Dating back to when I was still in school and I'm talking elementary, middle, and high school, I had always been the type of student/person who always got to work and didn't bother socializing ...

---

I am livid.  Very rarely have I ever come home in such a state, especially at the end of a workday, but here I am.  I have reached a point where I don't know if all the effort I'm exerting at w...

---

Gloria thinks that she's narrowed it down to two of the security guards in the office, both of whom are young and have some measure of a beard.  Guys of course, although I think it'd be cool as ...

---

As is typically the case for her every morning, Kyra can never seem to come into the office quietly, sit her ass down, and promptly get to work. She always has to make a spectacle of herself ...

---

One of the lazier workers in the office, a work group assistant named Scummy, took it upon herself to start decorating the west side entrance of the building with Christmas stuff all the way ...

---

I don't know what the current temperature is as I'm writing this.  I don't even recall the time I fell asleep last night.  I know that I was tired though.  That sort of thing happens when ...

---

It wasn't in the forecast today, but the wind would end up kicking up something fierce this afternoon.  I don't want to say that we reached hurricane or tsunami-level winds, but the wind was j...

---

So Christmas came and went and now, life can return to normal.  I know that "normal" is relative, but for me, this means that stores won't be crowded, traffic around town is considerably reduced...

---

Every now and then, I get things right.  In the end, this might be a small victory, but it's still a victory, regardless of size or value.  At least to me, it is.   Briana had been one of the...

---

As has been the case for many years prior to 2025, things at work are supposed to slow down significantly as we head into the final week before Christmas.  For reasons that I cannot explain, ...

---

This week is going to be a short week at work, as I imagine it will be for those of us working in these good old United States.  Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday.  Today was slow at work, t...

---

Even though Gurney is long gone, Manteca continues to come by our little corner of the office.  Now, I'm wondering what her deal is.  At first, the thought was that she would only come by to chi...

---

I couldn't have been any more ecstatic than I was on Friday when Gurney's last day in the office had come and gone. I didn't care what his day was like or how everything played out for him in t...

---

Today the office held its now annual Trunk-Or-Treat event and third such event overall.  I meant to escape much earlier than I did, being that I wanted no part of this year's festivities.  My pl...

---

I meant to go to work today after my dentist appointment this morning, but in the end, I just did not feel like it.  Today's dental visit was for a placement of a permanent crown and then for ye...

---

Gloria and I had lunch today, as we seemingly do at least once a week.  Since neither one of us has much of an appetite these days, we tend to share meals.  At most, we each get a drink of our o...

---

The first of what I anticipate will be multiple office e-mails regarding next week's planned Trunk-Or-Treat festivities was sent early this morning.  I briefly glanced at the e-mail and promptl...

---

For the life of me, I can't understand why it is that everyone in my work group had chosen of late to treat Chortle like she was some kind of celebrity, especially when I continue to see her as ...

---

Vonda had a birthday this past week.  Maybe it was Wednesday?  Maybe it was Thursday?  I want to say that it was on Thursday, because when I came in early that morning, her cubicle had been deco...

---

9) Morie Morie is the supervisor of the work group.  She's in charge of this band of morons.  I don't envy her, but I know that she's battled the same frustration that I have, but obviously, i...

---

7) Vonda Vonda came into the work group alongside Kyra and while most would think that they are friends, Vonda will vehemently deny it.  I understand that.  Under no circumstance would I ever ...

---

6) Gloria Gloria is the "lead" of the work group and has been with the department for a decade.  By lead worker, she is second in command, just behind our supervisor.  This means that she has s...

---

5) Kyra Kyra is the second worst person in the work group, a very close second behind Gurney.  She is the type of person who has to be the center of attention at all times.  She is vocal, way ...
