Something fun today

I have to confess about a guilty pleasure of mine. I am soooooo guilty, but sooooo caught up in this horrible pleasure that I cant do anything else but to confess about it. Here goes…when I’m not out slaying dragons, fighting for creative freedom and enlightening the people, I indulge in the “reality” tv show…For the Love of Ray J.

*head hung low in shame

As much as I talk mess about the lack of creativity on tv and the tons of crap being manufactured and tube fed into our brains, I almost feel like a traitor for searching VH1 for its next installment of this…reality tv train wreck. I almost want to sing “blame it on the aaaaallcccoohhhhooolllll”, since I was sipping on some wine the first time I saw the show, but all the other times I was sober as hell.

What is it about this show that has me hooked? Is it that I’m looking for the real Ray J? not Brandy’s little brother or Raymond Sr’s son? Is it that I’m looking at how long these girls can pull off hiding the fact that they could really care less about Ray J and only want to boost their careers? Am I looking for a Brandy guest appearance? or am I truly just looking for an hour of escapism and it just aint that deep? Either way I’m hooked!

Whoo, got that off my chest!

Stupid Groundhog...

I am sure everyone has seen the Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day", where he lives the same day over and over and over and over....... Well that is my life. Day after day I come to the Cube Factory and repeat processes (some that I have created, damn me and my efficiency). Here is my day: wash. rinse. repeat. Riveting isn't it. Please don't pass out from all the excitement, I can barely contain myself. Le sigh...... As much as I complain on this blog about people messing up or folks irritating me, I actually think I subconsciously love it. Why, you nosy people may ask? It breaks the monotony. No wonder people thrive off of drama, gossip, and general assholery at work, because they are bored as hell. Routine and order is all good, but jobs really need to insert some sort of fun or something interesting into the day every now and again. What are some things that you wish management would do to spice up your work day? They can be real suggestions of facetious fun... I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter, and I am sure that would entertain me for the day, help a sista out!
