Found it!

Ok so here is the story, just to set things straight. The first part of the story is already documented here: 

Following this conversation my Co-Workers decided it would be funny to put pictures of unicorns all over my cube. There must have been at least 20 different pictures of pink unicorns and various unicorn accessories (purses, slippers, etc.) lining the top of my cubicle.  I thought it was funny and we had a good laugh, until the next week when they noticed that I still hadn’t taken down the pictures. 

“Um,…Are you going to take those down? They’ve been up for over a week now.”
“Nope, I’m going to leave them up and direct every question back to you.  This way you have to explain why my cube was assaulted with mythical creatures.”

This strategy backfired a bit because the only answer they gave was “Biblioteder likes unicorns.”  I wasn’t bothered by this response too much until upper management started to wander around.  More than one executive walked by, noticed the unicorns, noticed me, looked at the unicorns again, and stopped. 

“…..unicorns?”
“It’s kind of a long story.  Let’s just say, don’t mess with the admins”
“Ah…” *walks away shaking his head

I couldn’t let them get the better of me so I decided to have a little chat, which quickly degraded into me defending myself again. 

“Look, if I wanted to embarrass myself, I would show up to a meeting in my favorite carebear costume. “

Note, I have never owned a carebear costume, not that I wouldn’t mind.  They are pretty awesome.  Just imagine Whisky Bear spreading happy drunkenness everywhere, driving around in a van with a giant dog solving crimes and ruining the plans of Old Man Jenkins.  Good times, good times.

Anywho…

When I got back to my desk I did a quick Google image search for carebear costumes and sent them the first one I found. It wasn’t until after I sent the image did I realize that the person looks just like me plus or minus a few pounds.  Everyone in the office thought it was me and no amount of explaining would change their minds. 



So, now I have been labeled as the guy who can create any excel report needed, the unicorn fanatic and the one who likes to dress up as a carebear on the weekends……

To the whiney lady at the bar last week.

By
OK I get it; you’ve been waiting to place your order. I know that I have been helping the cocktail servers, dinner servers and the manager, ignoring you in the process. I apologize that I helped the person closest to me after making 15 drinks for a table in the restaurant, I was not aware that you arrived before he did. I understand that the other bartender has ignored you as well because he is stuck at the other end of the bar where 10 other people are shouting at him. I’m sorry it has taken me 5 minutes to get to you, even though the first thing out of your cake hole was “I’ve been waiting for 15 minutes and you helped that other….yadda yadda…” But…..if you are going to bitch and moan about me being busy and wasting your time on your friends birthday when it’s your turn to buy rounds, you had better make damn sure that you know what you want to when I ask. I even apologized to you while sliding that square paper napkin in that magical spinning fashion to rest just below your seco

I never understood ‘Business Casual’

By
Let me start out by stating that I hate, hate, hate business and business casual dress. I feel uncomfortable, stuffy and self conscious all day long. There are some people who tend to do well in slacks and a button down shirt. For example, FCJ seems to be very comfortable in the monkey suit that he has to wear to the office and if I remember correctly has been known to wear a similar costume when not in the office. Others like Captn. Punc. have only to don dress pants or slacks (I still don’t know the difference) during special events that require him to do so (i.e. he was told to do so). I believe the last time he had to wear them was during his wedding and I strongly suspect he had on jeans underneath. As for myself, the first thing I do when I get home is go change into something more to my liking, usually used-to-be blue jeans or lounge pants if I am not planning on going out again. If biblioWife isn’t near the path from the front door to my closet, she doesn’t get a kiss unt
