Home Away From Home

Here's my cubical at work....complete with fan for hot flashes, family photos, gurgling water fountain, and 5 year old bamboo shoots for good luck.

There's a guy in an office upstairs who must be in for a streak of bad karma. His bamboo shoots are sitting in scummy brown water and they are dead. I printed up a biohazard sign and put it on his bamboo plant vase. We admin girls thought it was really funny since we are an environmental agency. So far, the guy hasn't seemed to notice the sign on his plants. I guess that's why they went bad in the first place.

Rose and I take care of the plants around the office. We get lots of compliments on how great the plants in the atrium look.

Poor Brad (I'm not talking about Brad Pitt) - he's the new guy and he's already broken the window in the agency pickup truck when he was moving some file cabinets. His cubical is next to mine - the only male downstairs with 4 women. We girls have had downstairs to ourselves for almost a year so we forget that Brad's there. Today we urged Kevin to get into his wild and crazy mode and he was making loud suggestive comments. Brad peeped over his cubical wall to see what was going on. Good thing we don't take Kevin seriously or he could get into a lot of trouble. Earlier in the week, there was talk of an unplanned pregnancy for one of the downstairs girls......more intimate girl talk. I wonder what Brad tells his wife when he goes home from work.
