You’ve been dating for a few months now and everything is fantastic. You get along, get each other’s jokes, and the sex is like no other. You’re past the “fling” stage and you know this because you actually care what he/she is doing, regardless if you choose to admit or not. The big “uh-oh” sign is scrolling across your forehead like a Dow Jones stock crawl. Could it be? Yes. You now have feelings; feelings that go beyond the physical aspect. What comes shortly after is the unknown – even... Read Full Story

And a field day it was for me! One would think to lock their office doors and PCs with me hovering around the office on April Fool’s Day. But if they were all smart, I wouldn’t have had as much fun as I did. Here’s the run-down of office pranks I executed today… Optical Mice Before I left the office last night, I put a piece of tape over the optical eye of three of my team member’s mice. One didn’t flinch, while I heard the other on the phone with the help-desk asking for a new mouse. The... Read Full Story

And here they go again...( See what you started Jason X? ) Read Full Story

On Wednesday morning I received an IM from my boss that read: “Do you want to do the donkey on Friday night?” [Thought bubble: Awkward.] It took me a moment to process and it’s not as bad as it sounded. However, to those outside of our close knit team, the statement may have warranted a meeting with HR, the police and PETA, perhaps. Context? The “donkey” is a piñata that my boss hung in my office as part of my birthday décor back in September. This was right around the time we were caught... Read Full Story

Ahh…Valentine’s Day. There’s nothing like coming into the office with Sweetheart candy-filled bowls, red sugar sprinkled heart shaped cookies in every break room, and flower deliveries rolling in right after the other. (I just puked in my mouth.) Fuck all that . Thanks to the Chinese Lunar calendar, Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year. We can all be spared from the in-office red and pink heart accoutrements; though I will miss out on the sugar cookies. However, we can’t avoid being... Read Full Story

Fiscal year 2010 is in full swing, kind of. We just returned to the office from the New Year weekend and a two-day offsite to talk 20-10 planning. After two eight hour days of executive presentations and break-out sessions with pompous sales and marketing guys, “we’re going hard on penetration in 20-10.” That’s the running theme I keyed on anyway. Not to mention, it was on a title slide in one of the exec presentations. Along with the day long ass cramp sessions, the execs shut it down with a... Read Full Story

New Year’s eve brings the whore out in everyone. It’s the perfect excuse to shove your tongue down a stranger’s throat at the stroke of midnight without getting slapped (maybe). It’s also a perfect opportunity for one night stands. With all the boozing flowing through your veins, your thought process will be overly skewed and you might wake up in an unfamiliar place with a stranger next to you the next morning. Having said that, and while you are still in the right mind-set, get your New... Read Full Story

It’s three days before Christmas and you’re still coming up empty for that special someone. What to do? The more important question is “what to get?” First, consider your budget. He/She isn’t earning your paycheck, so they have no right to dictate what they want from you (unless it’s sex). Click to Read More... Read Full Story

“’Tis the season for giving…” blah blah bullshit! After last week’s company holiday party and IT pulling a jackass move, my department continued on with the festivities by hosting a white elephant gift exchange at a local sports bar. The rules? A twenty dollar max limit, anonymity, and two steals per gift. My department began filing out of the office at 2:30p.m. By four o’ clock, two irish car bombs and three vodka crans later, the gift exchange began. There were a total of sixty people...

Each year, my company holiday party manages to unveil the “Jackass of the Year” award. The recipient of this award goes to a single jackass, who creates a scene or incident at the annual holiday party that ruins the festivities for holiday parties to come.   Two years ago, the “Jackass of the Year” award went to “Santa.” That’s right—Santa. The company used to raffle off door prizes to the holiday party goers. And what better person to hand out the prizes than a person dressed like Santa... Read Full Story
