I just used the phrases "out of whack" and "good to go" in an email to our Director.

We're about to switch to a new system at my company and everyone's worried about the data being wrong. At least it won't be my fault for a while!

Eavesdropping on the secretary pays off again! Secretary to facility services person on phone: "My boss needs to have his keyboard tray that slides under his desk moved to his new office...because you know he's so short."

Damn it! I have a fear of going to sleep with the dryer running. I started reading ruminations after throwing a load in the wash and I didn't hear it finish almost an hour ago! Now I'm tired, feel like shit from a Tuesday night 80s music drunkfest and working 12+ hrs today and my clothes still have to dry for 45 minutes! Damn you ruminations!

When you call me looking for some annual information for 2008 that my predecessor gave you last year for 2007, please don't keep saying "well can you send the same information you sent last year?". I didn't do it woman! My predecessor sucks at life and I have no clue what numbers you're looking for! Can you give me a little more to work with here?

People are going to start having a hard time running for political office with myspace, facebook, and now ruminations.com. Think about it, in election 2028 you'll see pics plastered on the news of the candidates doing keg stands, hooking up with random people, and news correspondents commenting "We uncovered a post from ruminations.com that he posted back in 2008 claiming he never worked, was always hungover and mastered the Alt+tab feature." Just another reason for me not to run for president!

I sit by a secretary and I swear I hear the strangest things come out of her mouth. She just asked someone if they wanted her to send something V.I.A. email. She spelled via out. Seriously?

Why does my boss feel the need to call me when I'm literally 5 feet from his office and I can hear every single word clearly if I put the phone down? Sometimes I want to hang up and just talk and see if he notices. Then again, I like my paycheck.

Why are the lights ALWAYS off in CSI episodes? Wouldn't flipping the switch work better than your tiny flashlight?

Why do I find it completely acceptable for a Friday happy hour to last from 6 until 4am...10 hours, but I find it to be the most cruel and inhumane punishment to expect me to stay for a full 8 hours at work?

I went to the store earlier to buy groceries and as I was checking out, I felt like a kid. All I had was Chef Boyardee, Easy Mac, Coke, chips, hot dogs and tater tots. Then I felt like an adult again as I swiped my store's VIP card and got excited for the discount on their gas b/c I spent so much money.

Is it acceptable to tell a friend who you know gets blindingly drunk all the time "hey...I didn't forget your birthday, I just figured you wouldn't remember if I called, so I decided to wait a couple days"?

It is NOT okay when I'm eating lunch with a coworker and you see my company ID for you to come up and talk to me if I don't know you. I work in a company of thousands of people in this city...no I don't know your friend's brother-in-law's cousin's girlfriend's aunt. And you're just CREEPY when you email me two hours later saying "oh, I saw your name on your ID and I thought I'd introduce myself" b/c my company's email addresses are my.name@company.com! That is just not right! Why would you think it is?!?!

I have a feeling next Tuesday will be the least productive day in September. Its the first day back to work after a long three day deabuchery filled weekend along with the kick off of college football. I'm already looking forward to reading everyone's ruminations next week! Is that sad?

I switched jobs back in May. The girl that took my place sends me this email that says "I've identified a few errors that need to be cleaned up from back in January. Any suggestions you have would be great." Am I allowed to respond: "Its your job now. You've identified the issues that I missed. What the fuck else do you want me to do? Pat you on the back?"

Unless you're Karo, should you really be ending your rumination with "Fuck me."? Isn't that basically saying you think you have something super funny to say, but you couldn't come up with an original way to end it?

My friend just mass emailed a bunch of coworkers asking if anyone wanted to start training for a half marathon and one chick replied to all saying "oh yeah!". My reply...."If you ever need someone to have girls night with, dance like a fool at a random bar, cry about your bf to, or gossip about other people...give me a call. I believe every friend has a particular purpose in your life. I've accepted mine."

It's almost 10 here and I've consumed more caffene and carbs than any one person should, yet I'm still hungover in my cube. Exactly why did shots, drink, and dancing like an idiot to every possible 80's song seem like a good idea for a Tuesday night? At least I feel like I'm in good company here!

Ever get the feeling when you upload a new picture to your profile and it is "processing" Karo's sitting somewhere on his laptop saying "hmmmmm...she's hot, maybe I'll hook up with her after the show in her city"? Or..."oh hell no, I need to stay away from that town".

Why is it that it 1) monsoons right at 5 o'clock when its been freaking sunny all day and 2) its the first time in a week you've left your umbrella in your car b/c you thought it was going to rain on your way home yesterday?

Does anyone else's company block websites and give you the "big red hand"??? Apparently I'm on this site too much, b/c I'm already getting it whenever I click "gourmet this"! Hell, even facebook and myspace took months to block! A couple of weeks in and I'm already being deprived of portions of an awesome site that I use to make the hours go by during a slow period (or to procrastinate during the busy ones!).
