Lunchtime Survey II

posted December 07th, 2009 by tiffany

Once again, this has nothing to do with anything, but we like checking in and seeing what you're up to at work.

Lunchtime Survey II
 
1) Whether it was voluntary or against your will, what was the first song / product jingle / awful radio promo you heard today?


2) Share a passive-aggressive email tactic that either you used or someone else used on you. (Cc-ing your boss, blind cc-ing your boss, etc.)

If you can’t think of any of those, tell us the most horrifying mistake you ever made in an email.


3) What’s your desktop background?


4) Your arch-enemy / least-favorite co-worker: shaken and held underwater by a giant octopus, or forced to live the rest of his / her life as tentacle-face?


5) What was your best / most outlandish excuse for being late to work. Real? Fake? And did they believe you?

Comments

1)Tarako Kewpie. It's so

1)Tarako Kewpie. It's so "WTF," & the kids always have these funny looks on their faces. & even after you watch & listen, you still have no idea what the advertisement is about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZIwQTo973w&feature=related

2)Sometimes I will find this sort of Mad-Libs like things online that emails fake legal complaints or lawsuits to the persons of your choosing. But if they read the whole thing without freaking out, they find out it's just satire instead of a lawsuit.

3)Here's what it looks like: http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff232/LikaLaruku/?action=view&current...

4)I haven't had an "enemy" since Junior High, but if their face was an octopus, I'd be too tempted to eat them.

5)
A: "I don't know how to drive."
B: "Neither does anyone else in Seattle."
A: "Yes, but they own cars."
B: "& you haven't saved up to buy such an important thing?"
A: "I'm too cheap to pay for a car, gas, or insurance. Plus, I'm sure I'm incapable of learning how to drive it."
B: "Can't you carpool?"
A: "I'm not on friendly terms with anyone in the office yet. I've only been here a few months. & they'd want me to pay for gas anyways. Gas money is better spent on bills & food."
B: ::Gives up.::

Survey II

1. It was my first day of the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred so I guess it was the theme music to that. I haven't watched any TV or listened to the radio today other than that.

2. Some friends decided to plan our Best Friend's bachelorette party without two of us being in on the planning, but the girls did want to include us in having us bring half the food and drinks... of their specification. (This under the guise of, "oh, we didn't realize you wanted to be a part of planning the party, but that would be great if you could bring blah blah blah"

We were like, "NO, 'cuss' you.".. but we didn't say that. We just wrote back and said, "no, it's ok You girls already planned it, we'll just leave it to you."

I don't even know if this answers the question for #2. ;)

3. oh, it rotates every minute to a different picture in my desktop folder. Right now it's a picture of my dog basking in the sun in a big patch of ivy that grows all over the sides of my front porch.

4. Oh, DEFINITELY Tentacle Face! That would be rad. Although, I don't really have an enemy.... just people that annoy me.

5. I was about 3 days late for work once. It was in November and I kept calling in sick... what they didn't know is that I was calling in sick from Los Cabos, Mexico! Unfortunately I fell asleep on the beach and got the worst sunburn of my entire life. I came back burnt to a crisp... my chest was completely blistered. Again... this was in NOVEMBER. So I told them that I had gone to Mexico over the weekend and gotten this sunburn and that's why I was sick for a few days... sun poisoning. I don't know if they believed me.. but they didn't fire me.
