Office Space
Good morning and happy Friday. If my email is to be believed, you guys kinda worry when I don't post first thing as usual. You worry about me - I feel so loved! But, yeah, anyway, here I am! I figured today, I'd pull back the curtain a little bit and take you on an incredibly lame tour of my office.
Fridays around here are uber-quiet. This one doesn't seem to be any exception. But I've got a meeting with Crazy Client this afternoon so I'm stuck. Um, anyone wanna play 20 questions? Posted by Chris at November 5, 2004 10:44 AM
I like how you assigned the letters in no particular order so that we got to really search for each one. I always like a challenge.

Posted by: julie at November 5, 2004 10:57 AMyour laptop?
...she was a show girl!
Stuck. In. My. Head.
Posted by: Granola Spice at November 5, 2004 11:15 AMYes I like the total lack of logic on the labeling. Look! Illiteration. Neat!
Posted by: Amy at November 5, 2004 11:15 AMThanks for the wonderful tour of the cactusworkstation. I am a fan of the toothbrush of the gross guy (or not).
I don't even remember how to play 20 questions. If it doesn't hurt, count me in. I don't want it to be like 52 pickup, or the "look you've spilled something on your shirt" game.
Yes, I'm paranoid about that stuff.
Posted by: Kimmer at November 5, 2004 11:16 AMI'll Play 20 Questions. I Ask First....Whats The Deal With The Toothbrush/Toothpaste Story? Now Come On, You Knew That Once You Posted That, You Were Gonna Be Asked To Share The "Long Story" With Us All. So Fess Up!
Posted by: Dawn at November 5, 2004 11:32 AMYou better be leaving there soon. You work too much. Haul ass and start the weekend, man.
Posted by: Colby at November 5, 2004 11:39 AMi want a neat office full of crap! haha! :)
Posted by: tiffanie at November 5, 2004 11:41 AMheh...i was actually wondering why you hadn't posted yet. We're addicts, Chris, what can I say.
Posted by: laura at November 5, 2004 11:42 AMwhen i switched jobs? and had to pack up my office? after 3 and a half years? i realized how much weird shit i'd collected. utter JUNK. of course, it's all in boxes (yes, boxeS) in our second bedroom now. bah.
Posted by: type a at November 5, 2004 11:55 AMWhat Granola said.
Her name is Lola!
She is a laptop!
With a pretty monitor
That you cannot see from far
Evil bastard, you. Also, my desk? Looks very similar. But it must be EMPTY in 2 weeks. Ugh.
Posted by: Dawnie at November 5, 2004 12:15 PMOooh coolness! Thanks for the office tour. Plus you want to talk about lazy? I still have a wedding picture in my office that I need to be rid of! Thanks for reminding me. Also, your office looks like a model home compared to mine. At the moment, scary comes to mind, lol.
Posted by: charm at November 5, 2004 12:22 PMYou have a window! Wow! You are indeed a shooter.
I don't have a window. If I go out the office door, across the aisle, out the door again, then I can see daylight. Sometimes light comes in the windows near the ceiling but only because the paint has peeled. they paint over the windows. I'm not sure why.
Posted by: Jon in Michigan at November 5, 2004 12:36 PMLola Laptop, meet Tasha Toshiba.
;) Does your car have a name too? Mine does. lol
Hapificate your Friday! :) ha ha ha
Posted by: amy at November 5, 2004 1:29 PMI like it, but I think it needs some pizazz. Some of your cool photos blown up and framed? A Rocket Lamp? Paul Frank paraphanaleia? More nasty guy toothbrushes?
Posted by: Shiz at November 5, 2004 2:28 PMToally off topic, Mr. Netflix. Try to rent "Corner Gas" season one. I don't think Netflix or most US video stores carry it yet, but they should, so hound them. It's dvd goodness. I easily found it on dvd up here.
Posted by: Shiz at November 5, 2004 3:51 PMbtw, our three Macs are: Clarice, Stella & Emily. It's a disease.
Posted by: Shiz at November 5, 2004 3:52 PMI've got approximately the same furniture in my office. The other stuff is a little different.
Have a great weekend - and I hope it's away from the office.

Also want to hear the tooth paraphenalia guy story. And I haven't named my computers. But my car is named Angelina. The previous car was Delores. There were reasons behind that, really.
Posted by: Heather at November 5, 2004 5:49 PMLooks flashy!
Posted by: JustAgirl at November 5, 2004 6:07 PMOkay, now after the ABC's of your office I have only one question...
What is the story behind the toothbrush/toothpaste/gross dude?
I mean, you cannot send up that kind of comment and not give details.
Happy Friday Chris!
Posted by: Desiree' at November 5, 2004 6:13 PMOkay, I'm really glad to know I'm not the only one who left cups of water sitting around...and now I am having a weird feeling...yes, I am missing my work desk. I really liked it. *sigh* and I? had a flat screen monitor...that I read a lot of blogs on...
Posted by: lady jane at November 5, 2004 6:22 PMNice vintage phone! I think I have the same make and model at work. They sure knew how to build 'em back them, huh? ;-)
Posted by: Dawn (webmiztris) at November 5, 2004 7:17 PMI love this idea...I may steal it from you.
Is that the stink phone??? Does it still stink???
Posted by: Amy at November 5, 2004 7:53 PMGreat tour! And I want to know the story behind the toothbrush and toothpaste - I think....
Posted by: etherian at November 5, 2004 11:09 PMHey. I got here via Smooch Dog.
Very interesting site. I especially like the fact that you are happily married with cats. I don't know why I find that humerous. Most guys don't admit to owning cats or pretend that they are the wife's cats.
Anyway, your office is nice. Kudos on the office.

Posted by: SOSwryter at November 6, 2004 9:01 AMI love it :)
I need to get off my ass and post a pict of my office.
is your laptop a showgirl or a transvestite? inquiring minds want to know.
i should decorate my office, and then take pictures of it. it is a rather nice office but there is nothing in it of mine, except a bag of almonds.
Posted by: rachel at November 6, 2004 6:40 PMI feel as though I know you just a little bit more now. Thanks for sharing! :)
