Damien: What should our hands do while we're on the phone?

From time to time, we will get a chatty client. This leaves our mouths, ears and for the most part, minds occupied, but leaves our hands completely idle. Some of us turn to mindless online games, others little toys, but there is one that turns those empty hands into a vehicle for artistic endeavor! Josh draws, or as a true Mainer would say drars. Here is the latest from the On The Phone Gallery.

JeeVee: Teej is da Mayn

Check out this afternoon's office goofiness...brought to you by yes..."The TJ!"


You are seeing correctly YOGA BALLS BOMBARDING LAURA'S DESK! TJ went around the office grabbing everyone's ball and totally trapped Laura into her space. LOL!

Oh, yes..and in the 2nd pics..I got up on the desk in front of her's and snapped a pics from that angle so you could see how enclosed she was. By the way, while TJ was strategically placing the balls, Laura was on a client call...the ENTIRE time!

She's so awesome..cause I don't know how I would have been able to contain myself from laughter!! Ahhh...good times!

"The TJ" seriously rocks the house with a dynamic and an energy like no other. Here he is in something his 'secret pal' got him this week! :D

JeeVee: Megplants Rock!

It's Meg's Birthday today!!

She's not in the office on Thursday's so, she was totally surprised when yesterday, we graced her with our vocal stylings as she was standing at the fax machine. it was great! so..here's to our dear Meg ~ Haaaaaappppy Biiiirthday!

Jeez Chineez: Sleep, no I never get enough.

The past week, I've stayed up until past 1am every night. Every. Single. Night. Over the weekend it was more like 3...4am. Most of the blame can be put on the Twilight book series (which I've finished. In a week. Yes. Thank you. Thank you very much.) but also just on the fact that...I don't really want to go to sleep when it's time and I find ways of avoiding it and then regret those ways when I finally wake up in the morning. I've always hated the snooze button. I mean how obnoxious. You get to sleep in 5 minute intervals and then get jerked awake repeatedly with the alarm again. I would always grab John's phone and turn the alarm off after it was going off to prevent him from hitting snooze cuz it drove me NUTS! Now, it's all I do. Snooze, snooze, snooze.
It's getting bad. To the point where I'm forgetting to do things. Normal basic things. Like washing my face or tattoo in the shower. Or turning on the lights. Or putting dryer sheets in the laundry. Or adding water to the coffee maker. Yeah. It's bad. It makes me worry what exactly I am doing at work. Like for real. Am I actually working or dreaming? Am I giving the right answers in tech support? Don't be alarmed. I've been pumping the caffeine all morning and am in a constant state of checking and rechecking my work to make sure I don't say anything stupid like 'Thank you for suing mywedding.com.' Oy.
Unfortunately I have one night this week that requires me to stay up. I bought a ticket to New Moon on Thursday. Opening night. And I can only imagine the headache that will ensue with all the screaming teenage girls (and boys I'm sure) in that small cramped theatre. But other than that I am determined to go to sleep. Early. Like...before 11pm. Which is early for me. What's my problem??

JeeVee: Secret Pal Time!

Here's what I got day one: $15 starbucks card and an origami heart! wahooo!

Day two: An origami made basket with Christmas stamps!! yayee!! SO cute!!

Check out what Ash got:

Laugh Out Loud!! :D i haven't seen what she got for her day 2!

I hope my person likes what i've got them! hehe. Being sneaky is fun!! hehehe

Tattoo Alert

Latest tattoo. I am stoked. Stoke-a-loked. I got James 1:17 tattooed on my arm. I was reading our wedding vows the other day (and tearing up...cheeseball!) and a verse from the Bible in John's vows stuck out to me. I suddenly realized with chills that not only is James 1:17 an amazing and powerful verse, but 1.17 is also our WEDDING date too. I thought maybe he planned that so I checked with him. NOPE. Totally not planned. It feels like such a huge gift. I've been searching for the perfect verse for awhile now. I knew I finally found it. Or more...it found me.

JeeVee: What a Special Day!

JeeVee: Just 6 Easy Steps

We seem to be having an issue with the "toilet paper roll changings." For a while, it was good...and all of a sudden...BAM!

Dear Katy goes in to take care of business...to her surprise and disappointment, she finds not just an empty roll of toilet paper on the holder, but a new one sitting on top of it.

C'mon 'mystery non-changing the toilet paper' person, just a couple more steps and you would have been victorious!

I present to you...a nifty 'step-by-step' guide to help you through it, created by our very own, Ashley.

Yes, folks...she demonstrated and photographed herself defeating this difficult task to assist those who are too ashamed to ask for any help. And it is displayed, where? Well, conveniently right above the toilet paper roll holder. Good thinkin' lincoln.

See, not so bad huh? Step 2 may have been quite a challenge, but...boy does it feel good when all is said and done.

Jeez Chineez: Oh Goodness...

So...I confess. I started reading the Twilight books. Last night. And I'm already over a third way through the first. Yes. I'm a nerd. Some people may be fuming with uncontrollable (and unexplainable) anger right about now at the idea of this...but hey...it's actually a very good book...and I'm enjoying it. And it gives me something to do at night besides avoid sleep because I miss my husband (cue pity)...I heart reading. Of course...reading a romantic book about a sexy vampire doesn't exactly help the situation. But...that's besides the point.

I also bought a ticket for midnight November 19th to see the first showing of New Moon with several of my friends. *guilty smile*

What?? Don't look at me like that!! You know you're just friggin JEALOUS and Edward totally likes me MORE!!! *tear*

Jeez Chineez: Backwards Motorboat

It's FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

It's been one of those weeks so I am beyond stoked that it's over. Early-week I ran out of milk...and never had a chance to run out and get any. Then this morning I ran out of creamer mid-making coffee. Yeah. Crap. But thankfully I had the brilliant idea to use eggnog instead. YUM!! Big fan. Who needs creamer anyway?

Last night I went to Outback for the second time ever. And it proved itself worthy of my attention again. The last time I went there I was backward motorboated (Yes...I coined the phrase. Basically, it's when someone brushes their boobs against the back of your head. YUUUUUCK.) by a well-endowed waitress. Most awkward moment. Instead of reaching around to the right or left of me to put my plate in front of me, she decided the best tact would be to wrap her arms around me and place it over me...like a 4 year old...all the while brushing the back of my head (more like SMACKING the back of my head) with her boobs. What. The. Crap. To make things even crappier, my meal looked like I had done something to offend the kitchen. When the waitress asked for my order, she asked 'Do you want a potato with that?' Now NORMALLY in NORMAL LIFE, this would mean she was asking if I wanted an ADDITIONAL potato. You don't ask someone if they want the garnishes that come with their meal already. Because that's just retarded. Well...in this case, she was retarded. My meal came and was a ginormous place with two tiny little pork chops in the very center...and nothing else. Nada. No garnishes, no sides, nothing. I looked at my friend like "What did I do??" And this was after recovering the boob incident.

Thankfully, no boob incidents occured last night (male waiter....fewf!) although he did crack a joke about his divorce which was super awkward. But the food was good...and I actually got garnishes and sides! What a treat. Ha.

So...share your awkward restaurant horror stories. NOW.
