Don’t worry if your job is small and your awards few. Remember that the giant Oak was once a tiny nut like you.

Rule #2 of Blog Club: Don’t Blog about Work.
So I have this friend. We’ll call him Jean-Pierre. Today he witnessed something so fantastically hysterical at work that “The Office” couldn’t do it justice.
His boss was on a conference call with their client discussing the rare brand of minutia that can only be nurtured in the delicate environment of federally-branded bureaucratic group-think.
One of the clients is quite the character. He is a phd who takes hip-hop and salsa classes. He uses match.com and posts a “grandfatherly-esque photo” of himself to find a like-minded life-partner. An awesome guy. And he eats a daily snack of rationed trail-mix, counting calories all the way.
[Client:] “This is going I little longer than anticipated, we may need to stop soon for lunch.”
[My Boss:] “I understand… you probably are hungry for your nut-sack. SNNNNNACK.” [Jaw drops, blood rushes out of face].
When Jean-Pierre told me this story, I laughed for a good ten minutes.

I’d love to blog about work. In fact, I have so much material stored up that will never see the light of day, it sometimes hurts to think about it. But, c’est la vie, I suppose. My paycheck makes up for the hurt, just not that dull feeling of worthlessness and expendability (is that even a word?). But, I don’t think blogging about work is going to fix that either…
