Bored. Terribly.
*Insert ridiculously funny and witty Bush insult here*

Thought I'd open with a little joke. To warm the crowd.
Anyhoo, all the different deparments at work are running their different money-making schemes for our annual United Way campaign drive.
One department is having a "Bazaar" in the Town Center, which is a kind of commons area. It's really just a corporate yard sale. A "jumble" sale to you Brit readers - of which there are none....moving on....
So I hit the bazaar today. Little did I know, my department was entitled to 1/2 off the sticker price. We're talking about full-price stickers of $1. Maybe $.50. So what did I get?
My cube is now garnished with a kick-ass toy Police Riot Gear helmet, strikingly similar to those worn at the '68 Democratic Convention (can you believe people used to protest that party? Violently?). I also picked up an old school Cub Scouts metal canteen. It has this bitchin' Cub Scouts emblem on it. What!? I think it's cool. Lay off my bitchin' Cub Scouts canteen.
Oh, and I also picked up the Muppets Take Manhatten on dvd and....wait for it.....Magic Rocks!! They're like technicolor stalagmites or -tites that you grow in a jar.
And what did all this glorious booty run me, pray tell? With the discount....$1.75. I know, sick, right?! Totally. I'm knocking out my christmas shopping tomorrow. There was a $5 Puffin cookie jar with my mom's name all over it.
My new treasure is now displayed next to my previous booty of a swank "UPS - moving at the speed of business" coffee mug and a SeaLand Shipping slinky. Thank the sweet lord for corporate logo swag.
P.S. I'm in the dangerous position of becoming that guy that writes in from work, about how funny/stupid/boring/funny work is. Thank god I stay sane with my pilates.
That's another joke, man you guys are off.
peace out hommies! Vote! lol!!!
