Employee Wellness

Well yes. Of course.

 

PICTURE THIS: It's nearly 5:30p.m. somewhere in workery world. There are less than a handful of us left, huddled in our offices, muttering to ourselves that we will get this one last thing off our desk before leaving No Matter What.

(I guess so we can make room for that which will grow overnight) ....

Although, sometimes, in a miraculous feat of Herculean effort, some people CATCH UP with their workload, and actually have TIME to Label any piles that may not require immediate attention, because the ball's in someone else's court, so-to-speak.  This is what's known as a MIRACLE.

And then, this SOMEONE (who is not me), leaves on time. 

(Which means SOMEONE'S office is vulnerable to ne'er do wells like me and Certain Partners in Crime Who Shall Remain Nameless To Protect the Not So Innocent.....)

Well. Obviously this is Someone who is going to need Something To Do, having some time on their hands, first thing in the morning.  A little direction, so to speak.

(Of course you can guess what they say-sit here, type here, drink this, answer that. My partner in crime and I were keeping it simple-we're state workers, after all...)

....plus the occasional oddities...

(why does my green postit look blue?)

And so, giggling madly, having done our part for Employee Wellness and Morale, we decided so too, should end another day in the world of Bureaucracy..

...while chaotic piles of our own remain post-it-less and growing.

{Insert dramatic sigh here}

PS. Ah, the part which works with the Legal department is forcing me to post a disclaimer or two:

• I was not on work-time during the post-it debauchery. I repeat, I did not claim work-time.
  
• No post-it notes were harmed during the making of this joke.
• These post-its were a personal stash; therefore I actually aided the economy rather than wasting money.
  
• I promise to recycle.
  

PSS. Someone was kinda happy to see this joke had been brought down upon his office when Someone came in. Everyone enjoys a gentle practical joke every once in a while.

PSPS. This office is conveniently located across from the infamous joke bulletin board ( every work space has one right?). Lookit what happens when the Data guy gets ahold of it--patterns and symmetry and *update notifications*, oh my!!!

PSPSPS. <----I forget how this works. Anyway, though I am sure you will be tempted to point out that I probably coulda knocked some work off my to do list if I had used my ten minutes with some sorta concentrated effort and diligence, I submit to you Exhibit A:

NOT REALLY.

Too funny! If you had been a co-worker of mine, I would have enjoyed my job even more!!!!! (Post-its ... cheaper than a psychiatrist.)

[Deborah]

HAHHHAHAHhahahahahahahahhhaaaaaa! HA! May I complete an application to become your co-worker, please and thank you very much. OMGOsh Roo, I laughed for seventeen minutes!!! And snorted a wee bit of six o'clock wine up the nose. So worth it. Are you HOT there? Oh it is sooooooooooo hot here, and my beloved walking partner, the lovely Ms. Dee refuses to walking INSIDE at the INDOOR air conditioned track RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, so we are still doing our four miles in the HEAT. Think it will melt some cellulite??? You so cute-cute Roo.
Me ♥♥♥ Roo. **blows hot little breathy kisses** Deb

BAHahahahahahahah. That sounds like something I would do! Just the other day, I hid cute messages on tiny scraps of paper all in my dear grammas house! Teeeheheee! I don't think she's found them all... ;)

You are crackin' me up Roo...those post-it's are hilarious! I love pranks like that! My sis-in-law's work friends aluminum foiled her ENTIRE OFFICE...EVERYTHING, the chair, desk, phone, cabinets, pens, paper, floor, ceiling. I don't know how long it too, but when she got back from maternity leave, that's what she walked into...freaking hilarious I tell ya! So, Mr. Post it man was a lucky duck...considering ;) ;) I always knew you were the prankster type. That's why I love ya, tee hee.

Sounds like you've got a prank coming to you now, though. ;)

What a hoot! That is just the funniest!

We used to do all sorts of crazy things at work to keep each other sane. I worked in private industry, but I think that infusing an office with a good does of high jinx makes working so much better! Love this post!

Checking in from my blog exile... oops, I mean break, and hope that the jealous mistress that is life is going to let me slip out of her clutches to post again regularly in September! ;-)

XO,

Sheila :-)

what is WRONG with me? my comments get swallowed up somewhere and i don't even notice it until i come back and i'm no where to be found. and now i can't remember what i said, except i do know the green postit inflitrated nicely.

i worked in corporate settings and even little cubes for alot of my consulting life. once i had a temp job with a mean boss who put me on probation for clucking at work. when i left i put a post it on his wall that said 'cluck you.' :)

how are you, ms. rhonda roo? time for an email? xoxox
