The last month and a half in three sentences: I dropped off the face of the earth and fell into a cube. After 6 weeks I outgrew the cube and got moved into my first office ever. Once I found the sock monkey slippers I knew my life had changed forever.
Long story short: OMFGWTFBBQ where did the last month go?!?? I'll tell you where it went: me stuck in a cube with no way to internetz without everyone seeing me and my phone post blocking my FF efforts. Why do you think I'm so excited about the office: no one can see my monitors!!! =D - FFing Enigma

Actually, just about every salaried person in this place rolls with two monitors. They also have laptops too but I'm happy not having my work that portable. - FFing Enigma

Work is going well so far (1st paycheck is Monday, woohoo!!!). I'm about to be put in charge of managing and approving all store collateral for 50+ locations. Including office supplies. My inner #OfficeSupplyFiend wonders if they realize what they've done...

Oooh, office supplies are my porn...I went to Office Max today and wandered for a while. Bought the one thing I went there for and was very proud of my self-control. Cause there were some fabulous retractable gel ink pens I would have loved to own. - Corinne L

Hey Tina, haven't heard from you in a bit and am hoping the job is still going well. - Stephen Mack

One of the regional VPs emailed me today to introduce himself. He said that if I'm half as good as my boss has made me out to be I must be able to fly and/or walk on water. Perhaps I have failed to properly manage some expectations the past two weeks...

Either that or I need to stop bathing in awesome every morning ;) - FFing Enigma

Apparently this is what the aftermath of gross misconduct looks like. To explain: Saturday I went for a hit, caught my own toe stop and landed (HARD) as you see in the picture below. Please to be noting that the person I'm trying to hit is still standing. Photo courtesy http://ringsidephotos.net/gdd_871...
One ref (from the opposing team I might add) tried to throw me out of the game for gross misconduct saying I took a diving leap to hit my opponent. Luckily I've got an in with the head ref and just got a major penalty. Which sounds fine except IT WASN"T EVEN A MAJOR. Grrrr...... - FFing Enigma
Sorry. Are refs blind in every sport? - Alex Scrivener
And you were lucky enough to have some capture it for posterity. - Brent - Yes I am

Trip to the bookstore was fruitful, though I bought a book when I didn't intend to. It's for work so it's ok, right? I also bought an Italian Soda, it'd been years since I'd had one. Tasty but heavy on the syrup and not nearly cold enough.
But the good news is that Torani makes a cherry lime syrup. Life might just get interesting once I get my hands on a bottle of that stuff! - FFing Enigma

I think it's time to try the ChikFilA spicy chicken sammich. Nommage, here I come!
from
Verdict: sammich was tasty but not mind blowingly phenomenal. I like that they kept the sweetness in their breading, sweet and spicy is a favorite of mine. - FFing Enigma
thx! now instead of making dinner i am requesting the Ogre go fetch Chik FilA!! it's all good tho. he and the boy likely prefer this. =) - Lnorigb

Dave headed off to pool early so it's just me and the cats the rest of the evening. I was a responsible adult last night so i'm thinking I might indulge in the drive thu and a night at the bookstore...

It's my 2nd morning in a row in webinars where I watch someone else do their work (since I'll be taking over some of her duties). You know how you scream at the screen when the horror movie actors do something stupid? That's me right now...

It's a good thing I'm on mute! - FFing Enigma
Are you sure you want to post this kind of commentary in a public venue? There have been countless of stories of people's "backchannel-negativity" coming to bite them at some later time. This all the more since you're so glad to be employed again... - Meryn Stol
Well, that's part of why I do what I can to keep my online persona separate from my meat self. But with that said, this reaction is actually why I was hired. Many of the processes & reports I'm taking over are being run with 1995 methodologies and it's costing tons of man hours and keeping them from generating new reports because there's no time in the current way to do them. My job is to learn the old way so I can tear it apart and build a better way. - FFing Enigma

I can't find real sugar soda anywhere =/ I've got almost all the HFCS out of what I bring into the house (yeah, I'm aware I still eat it when I'm out), and I'm trying my darndest to find a normal not-breaking-the-bank soda and can't find any. Not even the Dr. Pepper that was supposed to be out starting the 4th of July. BOO!
Try the international section of a grocery store. Our Ingles has Mexican Coke in the Mexican food aisle. - Easter LAMB

I just yelled 'fuckers!' at my television, prompted by the fact that we don't currently have the Science Channel. I do this about once a week. "Science Channel" is currently tied with "skates" for the number one slot on the list of irresponsible things I dream of doing with with my first paycheck.
and when is that? :) - ۳۰ مرغ Loves Y'ALLLLL

I have a thrilling evening of cleaning the cat box, laundry, and working out the next 6 months of the household finances. It's gonna take a while to get the bank account over the sucking gaping hole that was the past year =/

First week at the new job is under my belt. Now to psych myself up for tomorrow's bout against the very large and formidable team from Richland county... And perhaps most importantly, I get to meat meet another FFer tomorrow!!

On day 4 at my new job I got them to replace my computer. The one sitting on my desk on Monday had 512MB of RAM with a new keyboard and mouse #BitchLips Today's replacement is a more respectable 3G and my first real foray into Windows 7.

I sleep with three pillows. All of 'em are flat, even the one that's a year old. I'm going to get a new one (or two) in the near future but have no real hope that either one of them will last more than a year either. Do your pillows get squished way too early in their useful life? Maybe I just need to established a pillow fluffing schedule o_O
i just got used to flat pillows. now i can't sleep with pillows that aren't flat. - Big Joe Silenced

We get the $1 pillows from Ikea - they seem to be fine, fluffiness-wise, but I fluff every morning when I make the bed. - Alix May

I made too many ravioli for the amount of sauce I heated up. So now I'm sitting here eating them like chips. I win today.

My new office is business casual with jeans allowed on Fridays. No sneakers allowed, though. My question is this: would Birkenstocks be considered even more casual than sneakers? I'm thinkin' they would. What about cowboy boots?
I get the pleasure of wearing jeans everyday :) - Jeff (Team マクダジ )

All of the sudden I'm super hungry. I can either wait 10 minutes in order to be able to eat ravioli (need to cook) with meat sauce (need to heat up), or I can be lazy and impatient and eat a giant bowl of cereal now. Hrm.....
cereal then raviolis - Steve C, Team Marina

Thanks for the reminder. I fired up the iron, but forgot to go back and iron my clothes. - Kevin Johnson

In 30 miniutes I made it to the grocery store, to the doughnut shop, and back to the house. In the next 10 minutes I put away my smattering of groceries and scarfed down my two hot'n'nows. Be proud of me for resisting the dozen. I could've easily eaten a half dozen in a sitting but might have been a bit queesy after the fact.
And in related news: Krispy Kreme makes a mighty fine cuppa decaf. - FFing Enigma
Lol! At this point I'm eating to stay in the interview clothes I bought a few months ago, we've added an extra hour of practice each week... - FFing Enigma

I managed to get sucked into a new-to-me episode of Bones on rerun. This means I have 18 minutes until I get to dash out the door, go buy some half'n'half, and hit the Kreme that is Krispy.
Aaaaand they just figured out whodunnit it. I'm off to get my doughnut on! - FFing Enigma
FFing Enigma
I have eaten dinner and followed it up with a bowl of ice cream. Now I must find the motivation to head to the grocery store, if nothing else so I can return with cream so that I might have some decaf this fine evening. Though possibly I'll return by way of Krispy Kreme...
Krispy Kreme...... mmMmmmmmm.... - Shawn Whitmire

I managed to sit my way through 2 conference calls lasting the better part of 3 hours. There's no phone at my desk yet so I get to sit in new boss's office while we're both on these calls. Luckily there's a massive window I get to look through. Today's accomplishments include creating a new report and planting the seed for a new incentive program.
Personal items at the desk so far are slim to none: my good ink pen and a coffee cup. All the important things in life =D - FFing Enigma
Sounds like lots of fun - making an impact fast! - Mary B: #TeamMonique

Famous moments in derby history: I gave someone a concussion at practice last night. While playing freeze tag... And yes, I skated a three hour practice the night before my first day at my new job. How else was I going to fall asleep last night?!??

Sorry for the late report folks, tonight was the derby league's monthly meeting so I left work, ate dinner, and headed straight there. Long day! Anywho, the first day went well. We covered all the day1 stuff my boss had scheduled, plus a fair amount of days 2-4. Tomorrow will see me starting back into the world of conference calls *ooooh*
Nothin' wrong with that. Go get 'em! :) - Josh Haley

This is one of the hottest, dampest summers I can remember. For the first time in my adult life I'm getting mildew on my walls even though we have AC (it's a common phenomenon in the south in houses without it). I'm sitting in my 72 degree house in shorts and a tee shirt and I'm burning up b/c it's oppressively humid in here.
:( Yuck. - Jenny
