Workplace witticisms, job jokes and career quips; who says work can't be a laughing matter?
Little Black Book
“It’s a great idea, Chau. But you probably couldn’t get it patented. And it wouldn’t work just to go for protection in the US, because most of the textiles it would be used for are produced overseas. Best try to sell your idea to an established manufacturer.”

When You Have a Super $h!tty Boss
What to do? You have a job that you don’t mind getting out of bed for. Your commute isn’t all that bad. Your colleagues are good people – all except for that one Karen who karma dictates must be in your life at some point or another. The pay isn’t too bad, considering the hours and the energy required. You feel as if you are contributing to the world in some small or large way. You are lucky to be using the education that you are still making student loan payments on.

Sick Day!
This morning, well it started out and everything was okay. I was fine until I noticed that they towed my car away. I was very stressed and didn't really feel like walking to work. Everybody driving by looked at me like I was a jerk. I knew all too well that I would be really, really late. I have a lot of things to do that I know just can't wait. I guess they will have to, until I make it there. I just saw my neighbor drive by, I wonder, does he even care? Only 2 more miles, I guess I needed the exercise. Next time I will wear athletic shoes. I guess that would be wise. Just a few more yards to go, I'm going to be on time! No, wait. It's 9:30, never mind.

First Day Freak out
Today so happened to be Jessica's first day at her new job as a clerical assistant. Jessica was setting up her new office with her family pictures and diploma on the wall. Jessica was having a great sense of pride when her Mother also called her on her office phone to congratulate her on her first new job and tell her how very proud she was of her. Jessica was on the phone and did not hear this is a test over the PA. and knew nothing of this routine fire drill.

If you see a Rat get the Rat but what if I am the rat.
During my first year in San Francisco, I started doing random promo gigs and sometimes mascot gigs. I found a well paying gig on Craigslist, which involved wearing a cheap Halloween Store brand rat suit. This costume was as cheap as it gets, it didn't even have a rat mask.
