I’ve noticed some signs popping up around my workplace. (Not signs from above, but, like literally, signs.) And though I make no secret that I’m frequently disenchanted with work these days, I don’t know whether I could ever leave either, because my workplace is quite the magnet for these types of distractions that make me smirk on a regular basis.

But I’m the MOST important
Opinions are like assholes – everyone has them. And many feel compelled to share them. Though, in this way, I’m not sure opinions are like assholes, because who actually wants to share his/her asshole? But wait… Maybe… I guess I shouldn’t have taken it this far… Continue reading
