this is my first posting ever.
i have decided to keep a blog of my thoughts working in a cubicle.
the idea came when i realized that i have no friends at work, and therefore have no one to talk to.
let me break it down for you:
i come into work at around 9am.
work nonstop for about 2-3 hours.
wait until 1 to 1:15pm to take my half-hour lunch so i can leave half an hour early.
eat alone in my cubicle while everyone else chatters & chomps away in the cafeteria.
go on PerezHilton.com
read all of the news on CNN.com
read the same news worded differently on Yahoo News
work more
during this 8.5-hour daily routine, the thing i enjoy most is watching other people work. i guess LISTENING would be the proper word, but i like to turn my head once in a while and just watch. visuals always help.
there are some characters you will probably be hearing about as time goes by, so i should just introduce them now. but i probably shouldn't use their real names in order to protect their identities, so i'll just use pseudonyms, k?
the one i like most is Grog. Grog speaks the loudest, so even though he sits the farthest away from me, i can hear him the most. he's angry, mean, big & beautiful -- PERFECT. he wears shirts that say things like "does it look like i care?" -- PERFECT. his tone to the customers is absolutely ridiculous, i fuckin' love it. it's always in that not-yelling-but-getting-there range. he says things to them like "did you not understand the question i just asked you?" and "sir, sir, SIR, SIRRR, if you do NOT give me your number then i CANNOT call you back if the call gets dropped!" he's pretty much Comic Book Guy.
Aloxander sits in the cubicle next to mine, across the aisle. our cubicles open up to each other, and he pretty much ignores me. he has never once said hi or smiled at me, nor has he never done one of those little nods that acknowledge another person's existence. sometimes i think i hate him. but he's fuckin' perfect, like Grog! he looks and feels like a completely clueless dork. (even as of right now, he's wearing one of those stupid asian shirts with a car, a dragon, and blue flames. he looks like a car seat cover.) during my first week, i've often wondered if Alox was a card-carrying Virgin. i mean, he's probably in his mid-20s, but he just LOOKS untouched. however, my bubble was bursted when i overheard him mentioning his "girlfriend". that bothered me for days. i guess my question is, do they have sex?? NERD sex???
i don't like Bon. Bon sits fairly close to me. he's in the sales department but he answers a lot of phone calls too. he looks freakin' weird. he has a fat face. i mean, yeah, i have a fat face too, but his fat face is like a Jay Leno fat face. Big Jaw & Big Chin. i feel like i can grab onto his face and just dangle there because there is so much face to dangle from. i have also overheard him talk about how him and his "girlfriend" once spent a lot of money on a room at Vegas or something. what the hell is that? another alleged girlfriend figure? who the hell are these girls?
the other tech guys are nice. they half-ass smile at me when they pass me in the hall. they just don't talk to me. i don't get it, cuz i'm so bomb.
but i suppose i like the loneliness at work. it gives me a lot of time to gather my thoughts and channel them into more productive activities for later.
i'm the youngest person here, for sure. well, the receptionist girl who works 2 days a week might be a little younger. but whatever, i'm the full-time baby.
if you read this whole entry, then you're amazing.
your reward is that you now know what is going on with people whom i have absolutely nothing to do with.
peace&love
