cubicle love song
dear bible thumpers,
so, this is where i live now.
lacking in empy parking lots filled with weeds and bodegas that smell like incense, downtown is pretty much all its cracked up to be, minus the minorities and affordable parking.
changing jobs is like getting plastic surgery or something. everyone wants to hear about "the big change," and you're surronded by people who don't recognize you anymore.
it's fun to get thrown back into what you love doing, though - in the last month, i've run into at least three people i lost touch with since college, all who've kept their senses of humor, something that was imminently void when i was working for my dad.
working around people your own age with similar interests is fun, too. my building is bustling with people of the proactive persuasion, all of whom are very concerned about the environment and the state of the union. i have yet to disclose my political views for fear i won't get invited to the organic brown-bag lunch table, but i'm sure it'll come out sooner or later.
hopefully by then i'll have fooled them all into thinking i know what i'm doing. until then, though, i'll just continue to make snyde, under-the-radar comments about the oversaturation of sector acronyms until the smell of patchouli dissipates.
i do miss seeing my dad, though, which i didn't anticipate.
send money.
anne

manic monday, ohh-oo-oh.
so, on a scale of one to ten, one being "not at all, you narcissistic whore," and ten being "totally. everyday. i've been waiting," how much do you guys miss me?
if it's closer to one, get off my shit. and if it's closer to ten, send me some money.
anyway, i heart my new job and my new job wants to make out with me, so we've already got this unhealthy work relationship thing going with is always good news.
oh, and my dog is sick. probably of me.
and i think my car wants to break up with me.
but let's not get into semantics. i know some of you have been dying to know what i thought of the project runway finale, and i'm sure you'll be shocked to hear that i didn't see it.
on the tail end of the busy week from hell, i was only able to see the last 15 minutes of the episode, but did manage to capture all of the corresponding online footage. but my real reason for withholding spoken opinion is because this fourfour kid does it, like, fourfour hundred times better than me, and he uses soundbytes and video clips and animated .gifs, so until blogger allows me to do that shit for free, i'll avert your attention to someone who can.
fourfour is probably the best reality television blog i've come across in a long time, and i'm kind of tempted to just quit watching the shows altogether and waiting for his post which are much more likely to involve less involuntary vomiting and more laughing.
don't miss his bit on dianne.
sweet home alabama, indeed.
more later this week, after i quit getting so much traffic for "daniel vosovic michael kors hand job."
no joke.
happy monday!

new job perk #213:
when someone turns on luna (RIP), we ask why we can't smile just like we used to, instead of someone walking by my office and giving me the "these kids and their newfandangled music" look.

dear the entire staff of watercourse:
look.
it's not that we as a city don't get your schtick. we GET it.
yes, you have awesome food, and yes, it's really great that your entire menu can be ordered to suit vegan demands, and i really get the whole attitude thing - you know, there's always a wait because your staff full of mod/hippy/alternanerds doesn't feel the need to put a little fire in your pants - it's part of the atmosphere. it's your brand.
WE GET IT.
however - you have to admit, seriously, sometimes your service just sucks.
dude, you're a business. and while i'll admit that my complaint will hardly cause a dent in your popularity, i can't help but wonder if it's just that you single me out every time i come in there, or that every customer has the pleasure of being talked down to and made to feel like a burden because we wanted to come dine in your restaurant.
and i can't believe you took the sid off the menu. boo on you.
anyway, congratulations on being so much cooler than everyone on the face of the planet. i'm sure i'll come eat there again sometime soon, and continue to enjoy the self-superior service we've come to expect.
p.s. i think it's fucking hilarious you guys use styrophoam boxes. just sayin'.
