I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well, yes, there's that and the batshit crazy energy when you get near each other.

No use denying that. We feed off each other like toddlers on Pixie Stix.

Yes, yes we do. HAI THAR MAI TWINZ! Ahem. Soooo, you coming back out here when MCR goes back on tour??

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Like new guy pays attention to anything.

So the CEO has put out our Vision for 2010. And everyone must bask in its brilliance. Someone came around to each cubicle to hang up a sheet listing the company goals. There are three and a half walls in my cubicle, one with shelves, one behind my monitor where items I need for phone calls hang, and the other one to the left of me. She wanted to hang this bit of corporate-speak with my job-essential stuff, and I asked her to hang it on the wall to the left, next to the cartoons and the incidentally important stuff.

"Will you be able to see it?" she asked anxiously.

"I can see all my walls," I assured her.

It's a cubicle, not the Palace of Versailles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yum! What did you have?

Yeah, one of our VPs wants our "Mission, Vision, and Way" up on our website. It's a) chockablock full of NGO-speak and b) makes up words in an effort to create a cutesy acronym. I'm hoping to avoid putting it online.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We are getting gourmet hot dogs from the fabulous Vicious Dogs today. Pineapple Louisiana Hot Link for me. Sounds like it would be bad but it is DELICIOUS.

Why can't a vision statement simply be "Continue to do our jobs to the best of our ability, help our customers, and make a profit doing it"?

Of course, I nearly failed Business Writing because formulating double-speak hurt so much.
