bringing “macho” back

becky | November 9, 2009

The other day at work, while I was listening to my Madonna radio station on Pandora, Michael Jackson’s (ya know because he and Madonna were BFF’s) “Beat It” came on. When we heard “don’t be a macho man…“  it got Josh and I talking. No one uses the word “Macho” anymore. Seriously when was the [...]

The Day Obama Drove By

becky | November 5, 2009

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday, President Obama came to Madison to give a speech on education at Wright Middle School. To say this was a big deal to Madison is a giant understatement. Not only have we not had a sitting President visit our fine city in 59 years (since TRUMAN!) but Madison [...]

working is work!

Today I went back to work after being off for what seemed like a month. I rarely take week long vacations and this one was even longer than that! I left work in July and came back almost in the middle of August. Dudes, work is hard. My alarm went off this morning at a [...]

YOU try to ignore the Universe…

becky | May 28, 2009

I know I should be blogging about all the wild and crazy things going on in my life (like the laundry that is overflowing, the dust that is an inch thick or the soccer/baseball practices/games I attend…) but I’m just too busy signing up for eHarmony! This time it’s not because I have nothing to blog [...]

Losing My Mind, One Day At A Time

becky | January 29, 2009

As I have mentioned before, I work with just one other guy.  Josh.  Being the overly social person that I am, at first this was a big transition from my previous job where it seemed they paid me to talk to my vast amount of friends all over the office building.   Huh.  And yet I [...]

The Fax of Life

becky | June 24, 2008

As I have mentioned before, my office is quite small. It’s just Josh, myself and our machines… a fax machine and a printer. Since both are vital for us to do our jobs, they have become part of the family. The fax machine is Fred and the printer, Patty. Fred is very finicky. If you [...]

Cheating On My Work Husband

becky | May 9, 2008

Earlier this week I had lunch with a new friend at work. This didn’t go over well with Josh. Josh has been with the company for 10+ years and doesn’t have many friends at work, besides me. And none that he would actually go to lunch with. I have been here 7 months and have [...]

The Crazy Bed

becky | May 2, 2008

Today at work, a few of us decided to order pizza. Josh sent out this email: Here is the pizza plan. Little Caesar’s 1 pepperoni 1 sausage 1 crazy bed = $4.33 per person sharing it all with work buddies = priceless Crazy Bread/Crazy Bed. What’s the difference really? I love spell check. Josh had [...]

For Josh’s Sake

becky | March 25, 2008

I have terrible luck with men. Really, it’s just… bad! I seem to have a knack at picking the crazies, narcissists or the ones who are scared by their own shadow. And it seems as if the past six months have been particularly unlucky. Or maybe I’m just seeing this through the eyes of Josh. [...]
