But a Monkey Could Do That...

You know people appreciate you

when they take the time to send you memes.

I mean, do you know the effort it takes to Google, 

search through photos, copy, paste & send those things?!

About 5 minutes.

And those 5 minutes could be spent doing real work.

But when you're determined to make someones

day, you sacrifice those precious minutes!

Lucky me, I was awarded one of those memes today.

But first, some background.

My job is in social media.

Yes, it's a real job…

And yes, I'm on Facebook all day.

I'm living the life basically.

Due to this, some people make fun of me.

AKA saying anyone could do my job.

Which, if you're in social media, it's a lot harder than it looks!

Anyways…I asked a co-worker for help today &

jokingly asked him to write a tweet for me.

Being the "kind" person that he is, he actually did it!

Makes my life easier…

After I told him I was only joking, he sent me this -

To which I said,

"That would be amazing if you just found this vs. made it. Such is my life…"

And then he responded with - 

I laughed out loud when I saw that email. 

And then wrote - 

"This is hilarious. Thank you for making me feel useless, 

yet appreciated at the same time?"

Yes, that is a question because I'm still

deciding how serious he is about the whole

monkey doing my job thing…

But until they can find a monkey that can do what I do 

(which is way more impressive & probably costs more than me) 

I guess I'm needed in this position.

What a way to start a Wednesday!

It's almost the weekend. It's almost the weekend.

It's almost the weekend...

My Co-Workers Are Killin Me

It's funny how we all remember things differently.

About this time last year, 

I was ending things with a long-time love.

Something I'm trying not to think about

but it was just brought up to me.

Fun/surprising fact about me: I'm not a sharer. 

Especially at work.

Why would I tell my co-workers about my heart-break?

It was one of the most painful & depressing points in my life -

 no one actually wants to hear about that.

Including co-workers. Even though they are pretty nosey...

So, it was bound to happen.

And it happened at a department lunch.

Because that's the best time to tell people news like that.

Right?

There were about six of us sitting at a sushi restaurant,

 talking about our boss who just announced she was leaving.

Someone either asked if anything else big was happening

or asked about my relationship.

I guess I've blocked it out of my mind or my

memory really does suck that much.

Either way, I said,

"Oh yeah, we broke up."

Very nonchalant. 

Like it was NBD.

That's when everyone freaked.

Especially the guy next to me who

always knew everything before everyone else.

Except this.

That reaction at least gave me a good laugh.

I try not to think about this time last year

but a lovely co-worker reminded me of it today.

"Just reminiscing about last year. We were talking about

my bday lunch."

As soon as he said that, I knew where he was going

and what he wanted to say.

"Remember when you dropped that bomb on us?!"

He didn't actually say that last part

but I called him out for bringing up a horrible

time in my life.

To which he asked about my current boyfriend.

Oh co-workers.

And even though this co-worker likes to torture me

with the ridiculousness of my past, 

they all really helped me get through a shitty life patch.

I'm lucky to say my department consists of

good friends - not just people I have to talk to.

So, thank you.

And I'm Back

I realized - 

I've been really fucking depressing lately.

As far as blog posts go…

I use to have such funny experiences.

Ridiculous dates.

Embarrassing stories.

And then I went and fell in love.

And got my heart broken.

And become a depressing ass person.

I'm sorry.

But also, not sorry.

As boring as these last few posts probably were to read, 

I did hear feedback from ladies

going through the same thing that could relate.

So, at least two people appreciated

my downfall of words.

But now I'm back

(kinda)

and ready to finally write in my blog.

But it's not just relation-shits anymore.

For now.

I've moved to Colorado

and currently learning how to 

make friends.

Which feels more like hitting on people…

mainly girls.

My life is ridiculous.

But it feels good to blog again and I'm ready to let it out

because "do you know what happens to people

who keep it all inside?

They get old, they get sad and they get weird."

Thank you Jess.
