I have been crazy busy lately and haven't had time to update. Although like a good little office wench I have been taking notes of random shit that I thought you may find interesting. Mostly some 'holy shit, I can't believe this kind of stuff actually happens to people in real life' deals. I will probably post some of them later, but right now reading through them, they are just not worth the time it will take to type. However Something I have been wanting to do for awhile now ever since I saw this at The Only Girl and this at Antsy Pants is take you on a tour of hell, or you know that place I spend most of my week. I figured since we are moving our office soon (like within the next month supposedly) which btw is a post unto itself and I'll fill you in later. I better do it now, while I have a free second (I was planning on spending this time peeing but you know how it is....priorities!). so without further ado or adon't.
I present
My office wenching environment. *applause*
(click image to enlarge and see details)
Here is my desk, and a Giant map of the world. Many hours have been wasted by myself and a few of the engineers planning our around the world in eighty days mental trip. (we work o so hard here) I would like to point out the box on my desk, it is wine there are about 14 other boxes like this one in my bosses office. We party hard!

Here we have my broke ass chair that I have fallen out of approximately five MILLION times, there is a fancy pancy headset that I never use. and you'll notice the dual screens on my desk. This is how much office wenching I do, one screen just wouldn't cut it. I would also like to draw your attention to the plastic tree by my desk, It hates me! Every time I walk past it falls towards me. I can be like five feet away and it tried to attack. I have a feeling it may get 'misplaced' during the move.

Below is what my desk really looks like most of the time. I took the above on a off day when my desk as 'clean'. I am normally lucky to have a place to sit, because I have so much crap going on.

Close up of where the magic happens, you will notice my mullet like screens (business on the right, party on the left.) O yea, there is a pear because I am like uber healthy and I was out of snickers and cake for breakfast. They are worried I will develop carpel tunnel and not be able to type like a furiously fast fasty typer lady that I am so they gave me a 'therapeutic keyboard'. My wrist twinges as I type!

Here is a close up of my desk drawer, If you are interested the heaters on the calendar are what we design/build. I know I know what a mess, my random office wench shit drawer needs to be cleaned, but I thought we were past that point in our friendship (you know, where I clean when you visit of offer you something to drink. Get you own beverage and move some shit and sit down) Now visitors if you look towards the right hand corner of the drawer you will notice the rubber band ball. I made this, it is 100% rubber bands (from the post office, every day he brings me one. Its kind of like marking the wall in a prison cell)

Yea, there really isn't an excuse for this mess. This is under my desk. It is clean now. There was recently an incident where A spider was hiding out in the wreckage under there. I couldn't find the little bastard so I cleaned all that shit up, now I'm all OCD about it.

This is my shelf of random shit, it has been here forever (before me) the company started in 1917 I think some of it may be that old. Anyway back to the tour, some points of interest are the ship, the Buddha and the snowman. Yea, I'm random in every aspect of my life. *side note: I totally just sneezed and forgot to cover my mouth, now my keyboard is tacky and smells like sneezes.*

I loath these next two rooms, the first is our conference room, each one of those binders is a job file book (shit I do) they normally have about 4 or 5 copies made and sent out. The shop never has their test reports or welding records like their supposed to, etc. etc. fuck me etc. There are two more walls of these books and four tall storage cabinets in the other room.

This is just one of two drawing rooms, there are drawings from the time the business started (1917) to about two years ago (2008) they are labeled incorrectly or not at all. It was once suggested that we scan all of the drawings (most tubes have about 30 drawings in them.) I did the math it would take me over four years if I worked on that exclusively and didn't take lunch or bathroom breaks at all. Yea, not cool!

And there you have it folks, my office. Exciting I know (I'll give you a minute to change your pants, surely their wet by now) This is where I grow old, I mean spend my days, and sometimes nights when I'm really busy.
Until next time boys and girls.

Thanks for the office tour, Heather!
ReplyDeleteThe difference between clean and dirty desk is profound. You should, uh, keep it clean and stuff.
That reminds me of a Larry the Cable Guy Joke:
"I don't play with myself... no, I don't. I was cleaning it once and it went off, but..."
Wow, random I know.

Great tour! As you may or may not know, I like to provide each one with my comments. So here we go;
ReplyDelete- first off, very thorough. I applaude you.
- nice desk and comfy looking chair. I'm jealous
- lucky you with the twin screens!
- kinda boring heaters that you make, but the rubber band ball more than makes up for that
- the Buddha shelf is kinda weird, but in a good way
- I feel the Conference room and Drawing room are just big fire traps. I'm concerned for you and your coworkers. Please leave the building immediately. You can tell your Boss I said so.
Thanks for playing along! I'm off to link you up!
Yes! This is awesome. I love seeing where people work, except then it makes me depressed that I work in a dirty messy tiny office.
ReplyDeleteI need a Buddha.
Thanks for linking to me!
