Today’s blog will be a quick one. I have had the most stressful 2 weeks of my career in a long time and I needed something go relieve the stress. An afternoon of office putt putt golf went a long way towards lightening my mood and music will do the rest! Once upon a time, many moons ago me and my girls would go out on Fridays to Max’s and dance into the night. Now as homage to my dancing days (soon to be revived) dance until you sweat!!
It has been a couple of weeks since All Star Weekend and I haven’t had the time to post anything, even though there is tons for me to talk about. Today in the life of me I had to be my own Public Service Announcement, so y’all this one is directed at me as well… sigh ( LMBO) Read the rest of this entry »
I am so late posting this week. Somehow I let life get the best of me and I pushed those things I love to the wayside. There is so much going on in my head. Countless thoughts, inspirations and ideas that need to be given life and purpose, but I don’t know where to find the time to do it all. There is a second business to get off the ground, two books to work on, a non-profit to create on paper then establish, added to that is my regular life, ( marriage, family, work, church, health, and somewhere in there I have to find time for me).
Please don’t take this as me complaining, as I take great joy in my work and feel fulfilled when I can cross one more thing off of my life’s to-do list. I have been blessed with the gift of writing and am certain that in doing what I am passionate about, I am not only honing my craft but also actually ministering to and nourishing my soul. So my Lovelies keep your open as great things are on the horizon!
I am beyondtired and overwrought right now!!! In an effort to make me feel better and power through the rest of my day, below is a favorite oldie of mine and an accurate depiction of how I feel today! Enjoy!!
I don’t think I have been looking forward to a Friday like this since like… forever it would seem! I was nice today and brought donuts (cake donuts this time) to the office, mostly because I felt the need to do something that would make me happy. It also fulfilled my craving for sugar, so there was a dual purpose. Nonetheless, Macie and I were chatting via IM, as usual of course, and we got on the subject of our work email names. From that it went so far left that I can barely believe we were talking about emails at first. Below is a transcription of our chat: Read the rest of this entry »
Friday was a very lonely work day for me because my partners in crime, Luis and Macie, were both out of the office and so to say the least the day eked by quite slowly. So I was looking forward to Monday when everything was going to be back to normal; not so much! Macie was dragging because she was worn out from a long weekend with her family and I had an early morning meeting (which ended up being a pissing contest between me and my former boss… I was the victor!). But true to form, Sauceboxx a.k.a. Heinz 57 was back! I said something to her, very innocuous and innocent in nature, and she replied, not even looking at me, “Big Whoop! You want to fight about it?” Glad to have her back!
I work in Human Resources, I have for the last 7 years. I am a Sr. Generalist/Recruiter/and everything in between. I am Mom, Sister, Therapist, Physician, Task Master and I love every minute of it! In saying that I see all kindsof things, adults, grown-a$@ people throwing temper tantrums, throwing things at each other, cussing ( not cursing but cussing) each other out and saying the most asinine things imaginable during the interview process.

We all know that we spend an asinine amount of time at work, more than we spend with our loved ones. And in doing so at times we can become intertwined in our co-worker’s lives, we share stories, meals, break times and birthday cake. I have an “office” mate ( We live in cubicles across from each other) and her name is Macie, Mace for short and if she likes you. She has to be the cutest and most hilarious person I have ever worked with. She has this naivety about life at times and Googles EVERYTHING! One day it was raining baby zoo animals outside and I sent an email, while driving ( Yes, I know, don’t even start with me ) stating the following:
Me:
Good Morning All,
I am slowly making my way in, my neighborhood and quite a few side streets here in West Houston are flooding. Don’t worry, even if I have to turn my car into a pontoon boat I will be in!
Macie:
*googling: pontoon boat*
We are from the South, everyone in the South knows what a pontoon boat is, or so I thought anyway. We had a huge laugh over it and just added to the list of things that she Googles, like hooptie. ( No folks, she had no idea what a hooptie was) Yet even though she has a funny side, her nickname yesterday was “Heinz 57″ because she was being quite saucy. I mentioned off handily as I was walking away from my desk that I had a headache, she quipped ” You are a headache!” I nearly got whiplash spinning around and called her “Sauceboxx”! She just giggled and said she was in a mood.
With so much time spent away from home we are lucky, blessed even, to find people that make work life a little easier to bear. Here’s to everyday being an adventure and never quite knowing what Macie will Google next…
So, my day started off just down right crappy, as you all can tell from my first tweet of the day. As I trudged through my day, trying not to be downright depressed, my co-workers made me laugh from a place that I thought I had long forgot. I can honestly say that the ladies that I work with are a group unlike any other! They are hilariously funny, supportive and we keep each other from going crazy on everyone else. To my ladies in HR, and you know who you are, my first drink at happy hour this week will be raised to you!
Ok, so I have an issue with the improper use of certain things. I am soo tired of opening the refrigerator at work and finding an ocean of shopping bags; Nordstrom’s, Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, etc. Unless you are chilling your panties there is no reason to have a Victoria’s Secret bag in the fridge!! Please, people get a lunch kit. It is improper to carry your keys, pens, work folders and a picture of your cat in a tore up Ralph Lauren bag with a hole in the corner!
So That’s Why Silent Mode Exist…
Happy Monday my Lovelies!!
