Okay, I get annoyed by my own job just as much as everyone else does, and no, I don't think you give a shit about my work life, nor do I think that it's as funny to you as it is to me. I promise this is the only time I'll bring up work. Unless something hilarious happens. I would like to compare a list of things that are NOT allowed at the office to a list of things that are allowed but SHOULDN'T be. It amuses me to no end.
NOT ALLOWED:
-Having personal effects at one's desk
-Wearing strong deodorant, or perfume/body spray/cologne of any kind. To this point, may I add that we had a THIRTY MINUTE seminar on scents in the workplace, complete with a powerpoint on "what is a scent?". Please use sense and don't use scents!
-flip-flops
-texting
-oranges on the second floor, popcorn on the third
ALLOWED:
-being in your 50's and still thinking it's appropriate to wear a denim Baby Phat miniskirt
-wearing your pajamas, complete with blanket, around the office
-not showering for weeks on end, flaking your filth onto your coworkers, and causing a breeze of garbage/grease/B.O. when you walk by.
-being so obese that you literally look like a walking M&M
-serving cake to the entire office when someone in Prince George gets a promotion/the company website is updated/we reconfigure our TV bundles
I just think it's funny, that's all. I for one am going to be more negatively effected when a woman the age of my grandmother walks around in clothes from fifty pounds ago than I am from flip-flops.
As an aside, I'd like to also note that I discovered a show on TV last night called "Hurl!" where competitive eaters eat a mystery food (last night was chicken pot pie) and the top three eaters are then forced to go into a human gyroscope (those orb things that spin you in all directions) to see if anyone vomits. What. The. Fuck. There was a point in time when Jackass was the stupidest thing on TV. Those days are clearly long gone.

Can you please explain the "no oranges on the second floor, no popcorn on the third" rule? I would be more inclined to make sense of this rule if it read "no pollen on the second floor, no cats on the third" - that would make more sense.
Yea, I don't get it either...
