Still In Pajamas

Dan of the Day — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:22:48 +0000

I always feel a little lazy when I realize it’s 3 PM and I’m still in my pajamas and people in the office are staring at me.

Closing Time

Dan of the Day — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:49:24 +0000

I don’t know why Semisonic’s “Closing Time” is playing on the radio at 10:30 AM, but I’m going home for the day now.

Tired At Work

Being “tired at work” takes on a whole new tragic meaning when you work in a tire warehouse.

Sucker Factory

I’ll bet sucker factory workers never get tired of calling each other Sucka! and then pretending they were pointing at candy behind them.

The office dementors have been trying to suck my soul out of my face today. Good thing I have this drawer full of chocolate.

In reality, the corporate ladder is missing a bunch of rungs, and those people at the top just rode the ski lift.

Goofing Off at Work

My boss says they don’t pay us to goof off. I say he doesn’t know how to write an accurate job description.

Not Proactive

Dan of the Day — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 21:03:36 +0000

I’m not really proactive – more like amateuractive.

Job Performance

Dan of the Day — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:15:12 +0000

My manager chewed me out for not doing my job right. Which is hypocritical, because he obviously botched it when he hired me.

Snowmen Golfing

There’s an orphaned whiteboard where I work. It’s in a rather public area where lots of people pass, and there’s a guy who regularly draws a seasonal picture on it for everyone’s viewing pleasure. His latest was some snowmen golfing. I couldn’t resist adding my own touches to it:
