Not so straight up with a twist, a dose of irreverent nonsense awaits.

The office in which I work has a design style that is known as Brutalist Modern. Ouch! Sounds painful to me. My desk however has a style that is known as Mannillafolderist Messiness. A kinder, gentler style I think, don't you?
Hey Robert - I always wondered what truck drivers kept in the cab to keep themselves amused on long hauls. I need commuting tips for my long drive.

Just a couple of comments...
1. It's a little less messy than I would expect it to be 2. Why aren't you wearing your shoes? 3. Looks like your chair took a leak or a poo on the floor. 4. Why don't you put all of the papers on your desk that you are not using in that box on top of your cube? 5. What is in your lunch bag? 6. You need a bigger monitor. How do they expect a developer to get any work done using that little screen? 7. No pictures? Not even of the doggies? 8. You need more desk room to write.
I tried to get to 10 but as you can see I didn't quite make it.
Hey Blondie: 1)I think that's a compliment. 2)I went to the gym - I have on sneakers so I can run out the door faster. 3)They don't clean the place well. 4)I am using all those papers. 5)Protein bars,yogurt, and gin. 6)I don't do a lot of work. It's all smoke and mirrors. 7)I have two pictures, you just can't see them. They are of the Coors Lite Twins. 8)Yes, I do need more room.
I should take a picture of my "workstation" during this last minute push - you would wonder how in sams hill I know where anything is or anything gets done. It gets done because you will see travel coffee mug (with coffee), Coke (the beverage, and Monster Khaos drinks all over. I am going to have to detox (decaffienate) (I know I did not spell that right but oh well)after 4/15.
Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin
A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.
In my twenties, my then girlfriend and I used to think it was a riot to take pictures of ourselves doing really stupid things. Giving ourselves weird hairstyles, wearing goofy clothes, or putting things in our teeth really made us laugh. I found these pictures today. They were taken about twenty years ago in Boston. This one is particularly lovely, bra on the outside of my clothes,hair all twisted on top of my head, raisin in my teeth. And yes, I believe I am wearing a towel for pants. This one of me reminds me of a British rock star who says no, no, no to rehab (sorry Amy). Again, a beautiful sight to behold. And lastly, my ex, she who shall not be named. I have cropped out the top of her head because I think she would sue me if she saw I put her picture up here without her permission. She is the one who started all of this raisin in the teeth foolishness and this post would not be complete without her picture.

I'm not sure what style my office has...government leftovers??
I'd am curious to see what other treasures your cube holds.
This government building actually won some sort of design award. It's kind of stark - plain gray cement walls and hardly any carpeting.
