Work is not a Garage Sale

I try not to post much about work on here, but this certain situation just baffles me. So, we have a fairly large lunchroom for employees to eat lunch in or hang out in during their breaks. For some reason, over the years people have decided the lunchroom is a good place to dispose of items from home they no longer use. For example, old used books, unused trinkets, or old tupperware. While I thought this was kind of odd, it didn't bother me much. Until I got to work yesterday, when there was a bottle of half used cologne and a bottle of half used body spray someone put out in the lunchroom. I don't understand why anyone would think it'd be ok to just bring half used toiletry items and place them in the lunchroom for others to use. I'm so confused. And just when I thought things couldn't get any stranger they did..I get to work this morning and the bottle of cologne was gone..and replaced with ANOTHER bottle of different cologne. Naturally, I had to blog about it. Really people?!?

Why Men Love B&%*es!

My dear friend Shar bought me this book called, "Why Men Love B&*ches" She bought it for me because she felt I was selling myself short when it came to guys. I'm not completely through the book yet, but I think it has some really good incite. In general I agree with most of it, basically it says how a girl should value herself and not let a man walk all over her-she has to make him work for her because she is a prize and worth it. Which I totally agree with it. It also explains how to not appear to needy too a man and keep him intrigued. Other parts of the book I don't necessarily agree with...or at least don't have enough patience to go through with :) Then today I got my newest copy of Cosmo (whose subscription was ironically given to me by Shar too, haha.) As I was reading cosmo, I was asking a guy friend of mine if he agreed with what it said about guys, some he agreed with, some not so much. This got me to thinking...what's with all these rules and games we have to play to get guys?? Why can't I just be my impatient, sometime obnoxious, and silly self and let everything else fall into place?!? I like to think that if someone really likes me, they'll deal with how crazy and impatient I can get at times. I'm not saying these books don't have valid points, because they do..but there's only so many relationship books I can read before my brain explodes. And if certain girls would stop being so easy, guys would learn how to work a little harder to get what they want :)

Song of the day: This Ain't No Love Song by Trace Adkins...kind of goes along with the whole playing games thing, and I like it!

Pumpkin Derby

Part of my job is being in charge of the Wellness Committee. The company goes all out for Halloween. We have department skits, departments decorate their cubicles, and we have a "parade of ghouls" where judges vote on the best male/female transformation. This year was our 2nd year doing the annual Pumpkin Derby. The departments are divided up into 9 teams, each department gets a pumpkin they must decorate and put wheels on, we then race them down a ramp and the winner wins a trophy and bragging rights for a year. Although it is stressful to organize and put on, I must say it was alot of fun and we have some pretty creative employees! Enjoy the pics!!
