Winds of Change


Tomorrow is a big day. I will be telling my team of 11 sales people that I'll no longer be their manager, effective as soon as I can trick someone else into doing this terrible work. I'm not super fired up about having to make myself the center of attention by breaking "news" about myself, even if only for 10 minutes, but I'm extremely excited about the actual change. I am so over being a corporate slave, masquerading as a sales manager, that I'm ready to go postal on anyone that dares utter a "happy Monday" or any other term that should be limited to satirical TV shows like "The Office."

Speaking of "The Office", what a fantastic piece of comedy. After living in England and consequently having an allegiance to the British version of the show, I never thought I'd be as into the "Yank" interpretation, but I must say, this show is top class. Not only is it well written, but the subject matter is something that I can relate to, and I'm hoping the two people that read this blog can too (otherwise I'm fucked). I pray to the universe that most of you don't have co-workers and a boss as unbelievably idiotic as the characters on this show. Admittedly, this fine blog you're reading was spawned from the ideas I get while stuck in an office that resembles "The Office", but at no time have I had to deal with anyone as mentally challenged as the character Michael from the show. Shit, maybe it would be better if I did have a boss like that. Then I wouldn't have to embellish my material.

Cheerio folks. I'll be back tomorrow for more, um, entertainment?

I get it dude. BTW - US Office is very well done and an adequate adaptation of the original, UK Office...but the British one is f--king hilarious.

British shmitish. Who cares about a foregin show. I can't even understand what they're saying. It should be all about America and only America.

Egocentrism at it's best. Dr. Acosta may just be a chairman at Halliburton.
