Life In My Cube

Here is something shocking I learned today. The boys at work do not want to read my blog if it is about books. Though, one of the boys is a reader. They will read the blog if it is about them. What I have learned from other bloggers is you have to market your blog. So, I think I might do some Cube Talk once in awhile. Not too much. The boys already think highly of themselves. There are seven other people on my team besides the boys. They are further away from where I sit. They might work their way into the blog.

Anyway, Flag Girl, you are so right. No need to imagine them hot, here are some of their pictures. That's right, all this and I get paid too. Who wins the lottery everyday when they go to work? That's right, I do.

Blog names were hard for this bunch. The weather guy will by Stormie Weather, Stormie for short. I really wanted to stay away from the obvious......but I am going to go with The Doctor. The Doctor was premed when he started college. Life got in the way of that. To finish out the trio I'm thinking Diego. Too much? Fine, I'll give you Willie but not sure you are worthy.

I will probably only be able to remember bits and pieces of what goes on. We do get some work done during the day. It can get in the way of our fun. The Old Lady likes to refer to the row we are in as "The Street." She lives in CSA Alley and comes to visit The Street to see what is happening. We are on opposite sides of the room.

FYI: We are allowed to get up and move about. No bells ring or anything. Just not all the time. We have work goals to complete.

Not sure how it came about, yesterday Willie changed the name of our street to: The Boulevard of Broken Dreams. We love that! That is the kind of thing we run with. Love it! Once in awhile we head over to Sorrow & Disappointment, not often. That team can be major DOWNERS. That was one of the high points of our week. Seriously!

Let me give you a brief description of each of the boys.

The Elder of the boys is, The Doctor. He is very bright. We count on him for interesting facts and conversation. He googles when we need answers. Most importantlywe take our injuries and illnesses to him. He takes it one step further than Web MD. Obviously, he is very important to the team. He recently lost major, major weight. He is wasting away.

Willie is next in line. He sits right next to me. He is a Reality TV Junkie. Now all of us watch some Reality TV, Willie takes it to the next level. Like any good Junkie, he puts the blame elsewhere. He blames his wife for all the poor TV he watches. He is our singer. He is also a great story teller. When needed he will girl talk with me. I'm not going to lie, he will never be a BFF.

The baby of the group is Stormie. He talks weather. He also helps me with my phone, and ipod. He fancies himself a ladies man. I just don't get it. He is not that cute. Not super smart by any means. I just don't see the attraction. He is not much of a reader either. Willie if you read this to Stormie leave out those lines that he might take as insulting. Thanks.

Millhouse will want some mention. She used to be my BFF, my soul mate of another generation. She fell in love and moved several states away to another time zone. Now we communicate through text messages and e-mail. We share the passion for reading, sarcasm, and laughter. She just became a Mommy to the most beautiful little boy!

Gang, I hope you enjoy this. I have escaped my cube for one day. Attending a seminar on retirement. Not going to lie, if it gets me away from my cube I will sign DNR papers tomorrow. I will stop by to check my e-mail. We have big things going on in Page Turners. I need to be kept up to date.
