Posts from — November 2008

some friends and I went to check out the recently opened crumbs cupcake shop in stamford today and we bought back some goodies for the clan here..

the clan has given their thumbs up - for nearly $4 a cake it should be good in my book..I had a sliver, yeah have to lose the lbs now especially with the MS issue so have to be good about it but doesn’t mean I can’t sneak a taste..

it’s always been a dream of mine to open up a shop like that, really more of a restaurant but probably should think small before going for the big…

though I am not a sweet person, so a cupcake shop might not have all my devotion.. I love the salty stuff..the zingy, sharp taste..that’s the good stuff

but what? open a salt shop?..call it SALTY? hmm..have different salts from around the world and then dishes made with it…

I don’t know what it is about these colored goldfish crackers but I must show my love..

there I love goldfish.

I find humor at work mostly everyday, every hour.

This was a response to an email that was sent to the art department…the first part is the email sent and then my response to it…

Dear Tom & Anthony, Nancy & Lois, Maria & Paola:

Hello. Can we please move the big green Cutting Board back over to the Art Department? It is now in the huddle area over by me and Barbara.

It once was situated in the Art Department section by Maria, in between Maria’s desk and Paola’s desk (Mary H’s old desk).

It may be overlooked when we’re packing for the new building, since it is hiding in this huddle over here by the mail slots. Would someone in the Art Dept please pack it with the rest of the equipment going over?

Can we please put it on one of the desks/countertops for now, in one of your three areas: Tom/Anthony area; Nancy/Lois area; Maria/Paola area ?

Please let me know what is best, and I’ll ask Robin to move it over to you in the morning.

Thank you all for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Maryanne ——–

Dear Anthony, Nancy & Lois, Maria & Cherie, Cortney & Santa, God & The Cleaning Lady,

Hello. The big green scary cutting board has now been moved to the Art Department. It is now located in the huddle area over by me and Maria & Cherie. The exact map coordinates are latitude: 41.08667 / longitude: -73.460274. If I had time I would get a tattoo like Angelina Jolie so I won’t forget it’s whereabouts.

Many years ago the big green scary cutting board was located in the Art Department section by Maria, in between Maria’s desk and Mary’s desk (Paola’s new desk).

It may be overlooked, that BIG GREEN SCARY CUTTING BOARD, when we’re packing for the new building, and since it is hiding in this huddle ready to jump out and scare you and even possibly be used for harm by someone not realizing it’s purpose in life could someone move it? And move it fast, by today, possibly within the next 10 minutes or 15 to be exact?

Maybe over to the bathroom? The closet? The kitchen? Will it fit under your desk?

Can we please make a decision and figure out where to put this cutting board?

Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Under the desk!

Or maybe in one of your three areas: The IT guy what-are-you doing really area; The IT guy burping area; The IT guy are you still eating area?

Please let me know what is best or I will have to decide for myself and as you can see that would take a lot of time, so much that by the time we move I will have come to decision but the building would be locked and that big green scary cutting board will be left alone by itself on the empty 1st (technically 2nd) floor.

And while we are add it can someone who moved My Who Moved My Cheese book please return it?

Thank you all for your time and consideration and help with listening to me plea for mercy

Sincerely,

Paola DiMeglio, ext ICANTTELLYOU

I thought that I would start a blog and write about things that just came to mind..at first it was going to be about the magazine industry but then I thought nah…there’s plenty of that stuff out there and lately it seems to be all bad news so why be more depressing? I am just going to write about whatever comes to mind or what I hear about and want to share to anyone who’s willing to listen.

bare with me, I have no grammatical experience and english was my worst subject growing up - maybe I suffer from something but either way if I hit a nerve for you wordsmiths I apologize in advance.

(p.s. get it - “bare with me” I was just kidding…that would be an invitation to undress. you know if you feel like it you can, it’s your party)
