nosy ass bitches

“Hey Barista! How are you?” I turned around expecting to see the woman whose cupcake order was sitting on the table by my desk, but instead it was another woman who works in that same department.
“I’m great. How are you?”
“Good. Hey, I’m looking for some boxes for some pies I make. [...]

the not-so-secret romance

On the way to lunch today The AA informed me that our mail guy had walked up behind him as he was sending me an email. “What’s up with you and The Cupcake Lady?”
“Lady?! Are you sure he didn’t say ‘girl’?!” I don’t like being called a lady, it sounds sooo old.
“He [...]

monday morning

Gym bag is packed and in the car. Ready to go. I’m not going to be overly ambitious with this starting out or I know I will fail. So the goal is 30 minutes a day of cardio, every day this week. Simple. Easy. Anxiety-killing.
Breakfast today is [...]

i’m sweatin him

ON him might be more accurate, though.
When he came down to visit, and thank me 100 more times, this afternoon I got a hot flash to end all hot flashes. I was sweating. Minutes before I was not sweating. Seconds after he left I was not sweating. While he [...]

the cheese factor

It’s been established and accepted that I’m ultra-cheesetastic, right? Ok, good.
So today my cute African Accountant is off work for school related stuff. He’ll be back tomorrow, but then he’s off Thursday and Friday to study for the GMAT. I had this brilliant (used loosely, as I’m feeling anything but brilliant right [...]

the ledge

I’ll be honest… I do kinda wanna poke my eye out right now. Maybe both, I haven’t decided yet. Between Old Uncle Marv and The Beast my head is throbbing.
The Beast is calling people idiots. OUM is telling someone over and over, “Ok, Bob…what I’m saying is you can either get [...]

the bitch is back

And no, assholes, I don’t mean ME. Jeeez!
That stupid bitch ass woman from customer service. And since I can’t do linking from the bb, you’ll have to read about her by clicking here: http://savedbythebrew.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/laughing-my-ass-off/
Or here….. http://savedbythebrew.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/stfu/
And I just got this brilliant idea that she should have an affair with Old Uncle Marv! [...]

thieves

Ok, so I admit that $2 for a cupcake at the office is a lot. It was kinda a test to see what would happen. Funny thing is I only sold 3, yet made more money than I do when I sell all 24. Hmmm. What pissed me off was that while I was down [...]

working the room

I’ve never believed in doing any sort of ass kissing or schmoozing to get where I want in the workplace. My work has always spoken for itself, and I’m pretty damn easy to get along with so people generally like me. And I’m not an ass-kisser by nature. At all.
So this morning I realized that [...]

donations will be accepted

I added this line to the bottom of my cupcake email at work today. And these are my first 2 dollars made from cupcake sales. I only need to sell like 3000 more cupcakes to get to Indonesia.
Funny how the office food leaches (you all know these people!) don’t come running as quickly when you [...]

moving right along

The best thing for me to do when I’m upset about something is exercise. And seeing my new bikini on my body at the pool in front of a ton of people also makes me want to exercise. In addition, I’ve had the best intentions of running pretty much every night for the past month, [...]

my love

Yesterday was Bring Your Annoying Little Bastard Kid to Work Day. All kinds of little people running around. Luckily they did a good job keeping them all in check.
At lunch I told Allison that I can’t wait to have a baby.  “After all the bitching you’ve done about all the kids at work today you’re going to [...]

curve balls

Things were thrown off in my head a little yesterday when I took a cupcake to my #1 fan. The admin in my department is this older, very eccentric, fun lady I’ve loved since the day I started at this company. Our energies just seemed to mesh well from the moment we met. And she [...]

the weekend is here!

I woke up at 4am this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. All credit for this ridiculousness can be given to the pup in the cage who would not stop barking. They say it’s supposed to get easier, but I haven’t seen it. He’s fine in there when I’m nearby, and for most of [...]

starting new

I was nearly moved to tears as I walked around the big, empty apartment. Not just because it was cuter than I remembered (like most men in my life), but also because this symbolizes a new beginning for me…in a rather big way.
It was a little over two years ago when the shit hit the [...]

lessons in work romances

1:45 pm
Text from Allison: Omg…come see me
“So just how vested is Barista in that little bear from downstairs?” The woman sitting at the end of my row asked Allison after lunch today.
“Oh, not at all. They’re just friends.” Thank you, Allison!!!
“Good because I saw him at lunch with the new intern today.”
Yes, that would be [...]

stfu

The bitch in customer service who sits 2 cube rows over from me drives me motherfucking insane.  I know I’ve said this 1000 times, but it’s true.  My job and department are generally quiet and I like that.  And I play music at my desk to try to drown a little of her nastiness out, [...]

i finally had a stalker and didn’t even know it!

Ok, so I’m fickle.  It’s true.  And a crush/interest/relationship even…if I were to ever have one again…can turn on and off as quickly as the light in my apartment.  So after spending the night Sunday with BSE I was totally smitten.  And after the texts he sent me Monday morning my head buried itself a [...]

pass the mint juleps!

Because it is Kentucky Derby day, after all. I’ve never had a mint julep, actually, but it sounds kinda cute. It’s kinda funny to me that every time I think about wanting something food or drink related it’s always followed by the thought, “I can make that when I move to my new place.”. You’d [...]

crushing…hard

“You better not suck and mess up my softball game.” I recognized the voice before even turning around, so I turned on the charm when I really wanted to tell him to go away.
“And what would give you the crazy idea that I suck?” I asked him, turning around in my chair and crossing [...]
