Office Space Update

That crazy woman next to me is doing the time stamp thing again. It is shaking my cube as I type this.

I have had about 8 cups of coffee today, sometime I feel like Lumberg walking around with coffee.

Right now I have 2 binders, 3 notepads, 9 stacks/piles of paper, 3 different types of post it notes, 1 blue pencil, 2 mechanical pencils, 1 regular pencil, a 10-key (a nerds calculator), an empty coffee cup, an electric pencil sharpener I brought from home(nerd alert), 2 staplers, a ghetto printer, a yellow highlighter, a blue highlighter, a 3-hole punch, a half full (see my positive outlook) bottle of fruit punch gatorade, a tape dispenser, 7 binder clips, and a napkin I left over from lunch (which I ate at my desk like a loser). Is that not the nerdiest desk on the planet.

One day I am going to wear a green visor to work and see if anybody says anything. Does anyone know why the visor is always green?

One day I would like to leave work with less on my plate than when the day started. I heard rumors that this could happen. Maybe it would if I didnt write this post.

Office Space

Every day of my life, I realize that this movie is not a joke but reality. For my job I see many different companies and it never fails that I meet the different characters in the movie.

Today I had a woman blame her calculator for not adding a column of numbers correctly...she said "I knew that thing is wore out"

Also about three to four times a day the woman in the cube next to me time stamps about 50 documents. I want to crawl over the cube and time stamp her face.

Please tell me your office space moments so I know that I am not alone.

Most memorable movie scenes

I was listening to the ticket the other morning and they started talking about the movie scenes that stick with you. This got me to thinking and so I figured I would throw a few out there. Feel free to let me know of any that always stay with you (but since only about 2 people read my blog and one of them is my old lady I am not expecting an extensive comment list. anyway, here we go - my top five in no particular order:

1. The scene in Shawshank when he crawls through that sewer line of absolute filth and then bust out into the creek...something about that scene. This is probably the most memorable scene from my favorite movie of all time so I have to have it on my list.

2. The scene in Rocky IV right before he fights the Russian...I am always so pumped up at this point I feel like I can bring the pain to anyone, then I look at my muscles and quickly fall back to earth.

3. The scene in Gladiator when he sees his home and family burned

4. The scene in seven when that guy is in the whore house after being forced to wear that device...I dont know what else to say about that one.

and the w for me is:

5. The scene in Saw when that little clown guy/doll rolls into that room. That scares the absolute crap out of me, I start turning on lights and trying to tell jokes to myself in my head. It is messing now just writing about it.

Busy Season

I have been at work for 30 of the last 35 hours and have a few more to go before I leave. Auditing is awesome!

New Years Eve & Resolutions for '09

- First off New Years Eve is overrated. If I want to go out and throw a few cold guys back I dont need New Years Eve to tell me to do that. I was in San Angelo and played 42 most of the night and that was fine by me.

Resolution 1 - To lose less than 30% in my 401K (thanks '08 for setting the bar low)

Resolution 2 - Learn to identify all trees native to TEXAS. I got a field guide for all North American Trees and figured I need to put it to good use. Call me a dork I dont care.........I like trees.

Resolution 3 - Get in better shape. Again this is grasping for some low hanging fruit. Currently my diet consist of Ice Cold Rocky Mountain Keyston Light, Pizza, and ridiculous amounts of Mexican Food and my exercise is getting my heart rate up once a month with about ten pushups in my house.

Resolution 4 - For one of the Dallas teams to make it past the first round of the playoffs. I know I have little controls over this unless the players can hear me yelling at them through my TV but oh well I stand by it.

Resolution 5 - Improve my rib cooking skills. I love to grill out but I dont think I cook a very good rack of ribs. I also tried to make my own BBQ sauce one time and it sucked so I'll add that to the list to compliment my ribs.

Resolution 6 - Go to one Cowboys game in '09 at the new stadium.

Resolution 7 - Buy the Cowboys. This may be stretching it a little but if I can do this number 6 will be an easy winner and I will have a little more control over number 4. Any donations would be appreciated (see resolution 1).

Resolution 9 - Lop a turkey's head off via gobbler guillotine. You tube it...it is awesome!

Resolution 10 - Keep on truckin
