Database Manager and I are nerding out over creating a perfect data import template in Excel. Some days it’s the small victories.

I was on Twitter back in 2009 when hashtags were invented! Stop trying to explain to me how they are different from @ replies!
I don’t mind being the only millennial in my office until I have to sit through a Social Media 101 presentation.

Word has come down from IT that Pokemon Go is not allowed on company devices. I really want to know who needed that clarified for them.

It’s barely 10:30 and I’ve already told 3 coworkers that I don’t have time to fix their problems. Do not fuck with me today.

It’s my freshman year of college all in one sponsored post.

Sometimes I forget I’m the token millennial at work. Then I spend 30 minutes googling “Outlook emojis” before remembering Wingdings exist.
Got this gem this AM. The thing I’m most looking forward to about being married? No more unsolicited bridal emails.

The newest version of our database software at work is called “NXT”. None of my coworkers understand why that amuses me.

The 7 train: Where I can tell how late for work I’m running by the mariachi band busking in my car.

The number of people I’ve see taking selfies on the subway this week tells me it must be spring break somewhere.

What is the appropriate amount of time to wait after a coworker has been fired before taking their desk chair?

I sent her home and told her to make a Planned Parenthood appointment. I think that was the right call.

My intern confided in me that she’s missed two periods, thinks she might be pregnant, and can’t talk to her mom about it. How’s your Monday?

How fubar is my commute this morning? It only took 25 minutes of waiting for my Plan B train before I stopped caring when I get to work.

Forgot to break my after lunch adderall in 1/2 before taking it. Let’s see how long before I go from Super Productive to just plain twitchy.

She can’t be bothered for input on a $1M vendor contract I’m negotiating but is outraged she wasn’t cc’ed on a supply order email.
If my boss is going to insist on micromanaging, then I wish she would micromanage important stuff.
The coworker I most want to discuss David Bowie with got downsized last week and that about sums up my feelings toward my job at the moment.

My knee is slightly swollen after getting body checked by a dog. And no, it wasn’t one of my dogs.
Whoever is complaining about the hot water in my building being too hot needs to stfu right now.
Nothing like sitting down across from my employer’s ad on the subway this morning to remind me I’m back at work.

No really. Her subjects are so long that they don’t fit on one line. Sometimes Outlook just cuts her off mid sentence.
Thanks to my boss, Entire Email in the Subject Line has officially replaced Unnecessary Reply All as my biggest email pet peeve.
I occasionally have days where I forget to swipe my Metro Card before trying to go through the turnstile.

Gala week has me back on coffee. Let’s see how long before my acid reflux forces me to reverse that decision.
Having one of those days where I need a clone of myself.
But it’s okay because Tank Girl comes home tonight!
I take a perverse level of satisfaction in going to check on my laundry and seeing less than a minute left on the machine.
Security staff,
I was told that my emails are "passive aggressive". Rest assured, my aggression will no longer be passive.

I woke up from my nap only to have Lucy immediately fall asleep on top of me. Guess I’m not getting up after all.
