For anyone who has ever had a job, I’m sure that you’ve experienced the feeling of not wanting to be there and doing something else. Whether it’s a gorgeous day outside and you just want to be out enjoying the nice weather, or it’s a snowy, rainy, miserable day, and you would rather be curled up on the couch in your PJs with a good book (or good movie). Well, Jenn and I have experienced this feeling often (even though we both enjoy our jobs!!). It is often coupled with being frustrated at something that has gone wrong, either an application is not working properly, or gchat decides to randomly sign one of us out, or in rare instances, a coworker has not done their job properly. In order to knock some sense into said application/gchat/colleagues, I often respond with “kick ‘em in the head!” Which resulted in me sending this image to Jenn:
Every so often, work gets in the way of doing something fun, like going shopping, or going out to enjoy the weather, or talking to each other ;o)
Jennifer: stupid work
gets in the way of everything
me: bah
kick it in its head
how would i make a pic of that?
ooo
i know!@
one sec
Well, recently I was having an issue with a project I was working on, where I thought I was going to have to create a website to house training materials for a certification I was working on.
Jennifer: could the site also possibly help if someone needed to reference one of the docs and wasn't in the office for some reason?
Me: um.. yeah, the trick is blocking those who are not tutors from seeing training materials
Jennifer: password protection?
super secret web address!
Me: yeah!!
Jennifer: a foot that comes out and kicks them if they are not tooters?
So next time work gets you down, just remember, it could be worse. You could have a hairy, smelly foot come out of your computer screen and kick you in the head.
