One of the cool things about working in an office building:

We had a whole floor pot luck for the OSU/Michigan game. Hot dogs, giant subs, pizza, chili, beans, 72 kinds of salads, every dessert recipe in the Betty Crocker cook book, margaritas, mudslides, Baily's Cream....

How's your afternoon? :D

Well I have 3 months of summer with no school and at this stage no work. Today is Saturday so my brother and I are going to get huge burgers for lunch. My summer life > office life.

One of my bosses is having a Sushi and Sake party tomorrow night. He arranged for a driver to take us to and from so we could
"get our drink on". I like working in my office. :)

That's the funny part. I'm a director at a national ISP, and our customer service team is downing most of the booze. I can't wait for the next tech support call:

"Hello, I can't connect to the Internet."
"Well....neither can your MOTHER *hic*"

The impending OSU/UM game has the entire office on tilt - most of them are from Ohio originally while I'm the only Michigan fan here. I fly to LA tonight after work, have to find a bar to watch the game at, wake up at 9AM to get my ass down there and then decide if i want to continue drinking the rest of the day before I drop by the auto show, see my former coworkers and then go out and party all night.

Then it's back to Michigan for a week to unwind and relax. :)

I work in an uptight, no partying, no fun, no internet besides e-mail office environment. You know, one of those work environments that causes an employee to snap and try to beat the highest kill count in one spree.

Life is a vicious cycle, wake up at 8am everyday, lunch at noon, leave work at 5pm. Rinse and repeat.

Does that erase the fact that you have to deal with crapholes every day doing tech support? I know you might not do it a lot anymore but the rest of the employees there are probably going through hell. I know I did.
