Office Pet Peeve of the Day #1
DO NOT. UNDER ANY. CIRCUMSTANCES. CLIP. ANY SORT OF FINGER/TOE/NAIL IN YOUR CUBE. That noise is unmistakable and not something I want to hear while working. Sick. Use your head. Follow social morays. Just ew.

Are you frightened by the weight you possess.
I am going to make breakfast for dinner tonight. I don’t know why but for some reason the thought of making waffles when the sun has already set seems sexy to me. I wish you were here. It would be like I’m waking up with you, and then I get to go right back to bed with you. It’s been so long since I’ve gone to bed with you. I like the way your skin smelled against my...

I’m like one of those choose your own adventure novels where no matter which raft or river you go down, you always end up in some sort of hijinx with a boa constrictor, or a case of yellow fever with a broken wagon tongue and runaway oxen. Or was that Oregon Trail? Regardless, I’m a wreck. When it comes to women I’m as toxic as an open bar to a designated driver. I love everything and...
She’s like Bridget Bardot meets Clint Eastwood. There’s a cowboy quality about her. In some ways she’s just like Montana. She has this vast internal landscape. Once she lets you in, you just marvel at the mountain ranges. There’s a pace to her, and if you want to get to those mountains, it may take a while to get there but you can get there if you put the time in.

I spent the better part of yesterday “cleaning up Christmas.” A depressing and daunting task if you ask me…especially after a week of vacation and a shameless 5am alarm just begging to be snoozed this morning. And while I looked around the house as the sun sank below the horizon, the house…

Office Pet Peeve of the Day #1
Office dress code. No I don’t want to see you in baggy sweats, I don’t care if you are a contractor. No I don’t want you to wear a leopard 3 piece skirt suit with matching pumps. No, you should not wear your bright yellow “commuting shoes” past 8 am.
