My buddy Benjamin

05.12.2005 · Posted in Work

My buddy Benjamin was in the office today. While he hurts the billable hours bottom line, he’s a total doll and boosts office morale. Do you know how to make a pivot table in Excel? I give up. Just pet me. Yummy – you taste good! More (full size) photos in the gallery. ...

The poor intern

05.12.2005 · Posted in Work

Back in January I wrote about our new intern at the office and how I spit coffee on her (accidentally!) during her first day. The poor girl. In fact, the intern was in a meeting today sitting in the exact same spot where the coffee incident occurred. I snapped a photo with my new toy. ...

Sharing the stage

04.02.2005 · Posted in Work

Your host, Sparkles, shared the stage at First Avenue with a group of coworkers in the agency’s annual spoof on the 70′s Gong Show. It’s an annual agency tradition to put this show on. Everyone who started during the year must participate in an act of some sort. My group decided on the YMCA. While ...

Another viral marketing campaign

Another viral marketing campaign, presumably run by CPB … at least that’s who runs the mini’s ads and the domain name is registered to a guy living on the beach down there I actually met Mr. Boguski at an event one time. He was being mauled by all of these junior account types trying to ...

Hall of Fame

03.15.2005 · Posted in Work

I am due to have my photo taken on Thursday for work. It’ll be hung in the entry hallway to the agency, commonly referred to as the “Hall of Fame.” People pose with their favorite stuffed animal, sports paraphenalia, instruments they play, or anything that conveys a little bit about their personality. I’m at a ...

Just another lunch …

01.28.2005 · Posted in Work

I was out to lunch with a coworker a few weeks back at a joint across the street that many of us frequent because of its proximity to the office. Another group of four coworkers joined us and ordered this HUGE mini-keg of ale. Then they finished that one up and ordered another one. I ...

My first meeting with the new intern

01.26.2005 · Posted in Work

We’ve got a new intern who started on Monday. She’s a really nice girl who’s just out of school and wants to make it big in the industry. Being that I’m completely slammed, I shot my hand up when asked if I had anything that might be good for her to work on. A short ...

Toilet Princess

01.25.2005 · Posted in Work

A busy Monday has flown by. I’m just finishing up work at 1:00am. BUT … I did get to the gym today! I’ve sort of fallen off the bandwagon lately, so I’m trying desperately to get back on it. Does anyone in your office like to hop on other folks computers when they’re not around ...

Pink Slippers Award

The Pink Slippers Award is leaving the office. I’m very sad. So is Ryan. … so is Mark. There are more photos in the gallery. ...

Christmas spirit

12.22.2004 · Posted in Work

The Christmas spirit has been alive and kicking at the office lately. Joe went to visit with a client for a couple of days, so a few of our coworkers decided to show him how much we appreciate him by preparing a little surprise for his return. ...
