Taking Multi-Tasking To A Crazy New Level!

Quick note from work yesterday.  Went into the men’s room to take a leak (as we all do from time to time – damn you, caffeine!) and what do I see?
It’s a co-worker of mine standing at a urinal peeing while simultaneously brushing his teeth. 
I’ve written several times before about the crazy things co-workers do in [...]

Private Jets Be Damned! What’s A Lousy 25 Billion Anyway!?

Every morning when I wake up it seems that I’m greeted by the news of some other financial or quasi-financial company being bailed out by the federal government.  One morning it’s billions to AIG.  The next it’s billions to Citibank.  And then it’s AIG’s turn again. 
And when I say the federal government is bailing out [...]

I’m Not A Stay At Home Dad, But This Would Be My Anthem If I Was!

PS – That’s Robert Downey Jr. playing the baby.  Talk about versatile!

Corporate America Says “Only Suckers Like You Pay Taxes!”

Do you like paying taxes?  Didn’t think so.  Me either.  Most Americans don’t.
Turns out corporate America doesn’t like paying taxes either.  Shocker, right?  Only, it’s figured out really effective ways to get out of paying them.  The U.S. Government Accountability Office (or GAO to me and you) is set to release a study that proves that when [...]

Bruce Springsteen Wants You To Get Your Lazy A## Back To Work!

Here’s a great parody of a Springsteen video.  Although, my bet is that the real Boss isn’t so pleased… Especially with the lyrics.
I hope the Boss forgives me for having a few laughs.  After all, me and Bruce both agree it’s not so much American workers that are the problem but the influence [...]

I Don’t Love Sports That Much!

I love sports.  Basketball, football, baseball, hockey, you name it.  If it’s a true sport (and in my opinion that doesn’t include golf, NASCAR or the WNBA), than I’ve got big opinions about it.  I love to watch sports.  I love to talk sports.  And as must be obvious from this blog, I love to [...]

Cucumbers Are Evil And Must Be Stopped!

I was at a fancy work party tonight cause I do fancy work.  Anyway, there I am talking with some colleagues, drink in hand minding my own damn business.  I was totally oblivious to the assault my taste buds were about to under go!
The waiter, a trust worthy enough looking guy, came by with a [...]

Your Blackberry Will Get You Arrested! True Story!!

So you’ve heard the lame line how Blackberry’s are actually crack-berries.  It’s absolutely true. Blackberries are addictive.  Sure, the iPhone might be the gadget of the moment, but I’m still hooked on my Blackberry.
I have to admit that when I check my Blackberry and there’s no new email I let out a little mental sigh.  [...]

Tim, Tiger and Hydrogen!

It’s been an eventful couple of days at the office.  Unfortunately, not all of it has been the kind of news you like to hear.
On Friday, people at my office were shocked at the sudden passing of Tim Russert.  While the news of an unexpected death is always surprising and sobering, the death of Tim Russert shocked [...]

Update! The Strange Bathroom Habits of Co-Workers!

As some of you who’ve visited these pages before know, I’m fascinated by workplace bathroom behavior.  Previously, I’ve twice described the adventures of a mystery man co-worker who seems to have confused the company toilet stall with a reading library.

But recently, I saw something else that perplexed me.  A male co-worker of mine has repeatedly done this.  [...]
