As I walked into the office yesterday morning...I had this nagging feeling that everything seemed a little different. As usual every morning, me and other colleagues from certain department will gather up and have our routine morning briefing. I could clearly noticed that something was amiss when I was approaching them. Typical of me, I greeted my other colleagues...but the response was totally
I got an ex colleague which is very cute and funny. Why I said he's cute and funny? Well, he believes in everything we said. Trust me, no matter what you said, no matter how 'kua cheong' you are, he will believed you.Like few days ago, on a Wednesday night, I on my msn at around 12am+. When he saw me, he buzz me and asked me why I online so late. Am I still in office? I was at home that time but I

I now have access to over 90,000 books, anywhere in the world and a very crisp and practical screen to read them on. Still, I miss printed matter.
The story behind all these books is that a colleague of mine bought me the Kindle as a b/d present. The Kindle is the Amazon equivalent of the [...]

What will you do when you approach a colleague of yours to ask him/her some questions but found out he/she is sleeping? Will you wake him/her up? Will you walk away? Will you go tell everyone that he/she is sleeping? haha..I've faced this kind of situation a few times, in fact, it happened today! I caught him sleeping three times!! Wonder what he's doing last night.. Anyway, normally, if i'm close
Print ad reads:I don't cook. So I made my eat-in kitchen a fabulous walk-in closet.My coworker Kirsten came across the ad in a magazine and commented, "In Manhattan, we do this because we don't cook and we don't have any closet space."She went on to tell me that one of her friends sublets an apartment from a girl who stored her extra shoes in the oven.

I can easily remember the first time I met Andy Hoyt. It was the summer of 2003, and I walked into Oratory Prep, for the first time after being hired, to begin teaching two summer courses. I met Jack Horan, then the school’s principal, at the front door, and he introduced me to a thin, yet tall man.“Kevin, meet Andy Hoyt,” Horan said. “Kevin is joining the faculty to teach religion, and he’ll be teaching keyboarding and study skills for the summer session.”“Nice to meet you,” Andy said with a handshake.I had met him.And yet, for the six subsequent weeks, I never spoke another word to Andy. In fact, it wasn’t until September that we first chatted. Somehow, we both found out that we had a mutual affection for the New York Mets. And, as the 2003 season winded down, we both s

Have you had or are in a situation where your colleague is making your life miserable? I have been in these types of jobs a few times in the past and let me tell you, it’s no laughing matter. A reader recently asked me this question: Saw your web page and felt that I want your take on my situation. First of all I've worked for an organization as an admin asst for years and during this time I have seen many co-workers leave and have had to put up with a lot. Currently there is a clerical staff person, sitting in a cubicle right across from me who has made my daily work experience miserable. She has been here a little over 1 1/2 years and has recently been promoted to an Administrative Assistant. This is a typical work day
One of the two Algiers bomb attacks three days ago completely destroyed the third floor of the UN building. The floor of our offices. Most of the staff members were outside the office on a training course and therefore escaped the attack.Amongst the 11 UN staff members that died, we lost one colleague Gene Luna (Left in the picture). Gene (48) joined our organisation in 2002. She worked in Kandahar, Afghanistan first and transferred as finance officer to the Algeria office barely a week ago.At the time of her death, Luna, was part of our program assisting the food needs of thousands of refugees displaced by the 1975 conflict in Western Sahara.There are still 5 UN staff members missing. (News post)So far this year, 36 humanitarian workers serving WFP have been killed, injured or detained.Picture courtesy WFP
Before a colleague left to pick up lunch this afternoon, I asked him where he was going so I could give him some money to grab me a bite. He replied, "Oh - I generally don't know where I'm going until I get half way there, but it won't be some place like Cosi or Pret. It will be a hole-in-the-wall place, where I have trouble communicating with the owners. Last week, I ordered something and was surprised to discover that chicken feet were a large portion of the ingredients."He returned with a fantastic $3.75 meal combo from a nearby Chinese restaurant, and after refusing to take my money, the following email correspondence ensued.From me:This email serves to confirm that I, [name removed], will remunerate [name removed]'s lunch gesture, involving a four-block, two-avenue excursion on Friday, October 19, 2008, in torrential climatic conditions. Recompense is due no later than 5-business days from the date of initial transaction.Thank you.- The ManagementHis response:no rush, I'm gla
Tom Cruise was left furious after a crew member on his latest film set passed wind during a minute’s silence.The Hollywood actor — who is currently shooting World War II drama Valkyrie in Berlin — had paused filming to honour the anti-Nazi heroes portrayed in the movie when one employee decided to use the tribute to break wind.Fellow star Christian Berkel — who plays anti-Hitler plotter Albrecht Mertz von Quirbheim — said, “The film’s director Bryan Singer, the screenplay writer Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise asked us all to observe a moment’s silence shortly before we started filming.”A source on the set told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “Fortunately the mystery gassy man didn’t completely ruin the touching gesture.“Quite rightly, Tom is furious. We were filming at the Bendler Block in Germany where the anti-Nazis were executed.”The source said Cruise decided to ask for the minute’s silence to show respect for the deceased and appease the German

The Horton Group has published the following article, in its law related newsletter--Legal-EASE, written by a mutual associate of ours Michael Zolno of Zolno Consulting.
All businesses, especially law firms, go through succession, which can cause a great deal of internal and external turmoil.
In fact the survival of the firm may well depend upon how well the succession is dealt with.

Around six o'clock this evening I received an IM from one of my coworkers on a lower floor of our building.Lauren: Why are people running down 42nd Street?Me: What do you mean?Lauren: Did a building collapse? Turn on the news. I don't have a TV.So a few of us walked from the 43rd Street side of the office to the side facing 42nd Street and looked down, and sure enough, about 20-some-odd stories below, masses of people were running in the direction of Times Square. Of course, many immediately wondered if it was another act of terrorism. And the photos of bloody and ash-covered pedestrians that were later posted on nytimes.com were certainly reminiscent of September 11.We were all pretty calm as we returned to our desks, despite the mild chaos outside and began to google news headlines. That's when I overheard Victoria tell another colleague: "A friend of mine just called from Grand Central. He heard a large explosion, the building shook slightly and shortly afterward, the police star

Monique (from her office at a leading project management and construction company in Charlotte, NC) forwarded me an article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and then I sent the following email with no subject header because I really couldn't think of one that didn't make the situation seem comical:I think there is a lesson to be learned here ...http://www.ajc.com/hp/content/shared-gen/ap/National/Naked_Deaths.html?cxntnid=amn062107eEmail replies from my coworkers and friends:southeast digital advertising sales associate: that's just wrongfriend who works in fashion design downtown: LOL ...

You're more likely in New York to see a naked man do the macarena and to bump into Patrick Dempsey outside of Starbucks. Both scenarios are courtesy of my boss, which are recounted here in today's edition of "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" brought to you by BNR, who is soliciting mad-lib style comments in response to his most recent blog post.My boss - born and raised in New York - sent a text message a few weeks ago while Jenny and I were hanging out on the roof top bar at 230 Fifth during Happy Hour:@ whole foods watching a naked man do the macarena on his terrace. Only in NYC, kids!And yesterday, my boss told us about her Sunday morning encounter with Dr. McDreamy, which I am paraphrasing in her first-person voice rather than a third-person narration.So it's 8 a.m. on Sunday morning, and I'm riding my bike to the Equinox at Greenwich and 12th, and I'm totally decked out in my hardcore biker girl attire: cycling helmet, spandex capris with butt pads, pedal clips ... and I'm exc
In the gym this evening with a coworker.Victoria [between reps on the leg abductor machine]: "So I peed next to (our division's svp) today."Me [between reps on the leg adductor machine]: "And it was weird, right?"Victoria: "Yea. I thought of you the entire time."Me: "But would it have been weird if I hadn't said anything about it before?"Victoria: "Yea. It's weird to know what your senior vice president sounds like while she pees."
It is a quarter to seven o'clock on a Friday evening and I am still in the office. However, before I shut down and go home, I wanted to make note of a colleague convo that happened just moments ago outside my cubicle.Me to the SVP's new executive assistant: "... Just think of the photo on your employee ID badge like your Driver's License ... who cares if it's bad? It's acceptable and expected."The SVP's new executive assistant: "I don't have a Driver's License. It was stolen when I was stabbed."Me: "Excuse me? When you were stabbed?"The SVP's new executive assistant: "Yes ..."Me - preparing to make a mental note of the New York neighborhood in which she was mugged: "Where were you?"The SVP's new executive assistant: "Kansas."
In the gym this evening, Victoria was telling me about an IM that Julie sent her this morning while beginning the first day in our new cubicles on our new floor:Julie on instant messenger: I was washing my hands in the bathroom just now ...Victoria on instant messenger: Yea.......Julie on instant messenger: This woman walked into the bathroom and went into one of the stalls with a magazine ...Victoria on instant messenger: lolJulie on instant messenger: NO SHAME!!!Bonus convo and camera phone photo op:And earlier today, Victoria - who just joined our division in February - came to check out my new set-up and noticed the yoga gingerbread cookie that Julie had given me for Christmas. Most of us found the cookies so hilarious that we kept them in their original packaging."I know those cookies that Julie gave all of you are meant to be various yoga positions, but don't some of them remind you of certain sex positions?" she asked as she turned to face me and half sit on my desk."As a matte
Around 2 p.m.:I happened to walk to the bathroom at the same time as our division's SVP. I followed her to the row of stalls as we chatted about our upcoming office relocation to a higher floor in the building.As we entered our separate stalls, our conversation paused briefly and I began to feel awkward. I hoped the silence on her side of the partition wasn't as uncomfortable as it felt on my side. For me, it suddenly seemed weird to be peeing next to a major executive for the company.As we washed our hands, the conversation continued normally and we chatted as we returned to the office suite. But I found myself making a mental note to not follow her or any other high-level executives into bathrooms.I'm not an obnoxious prude, and I'm still not quite sure why I - at 27 years of age - unexpectedly found this natural body function awkward. I wonder if it's ever been weird for any of our male executive assistants to stand at a urinal next to our CFO.Around 4 p.m.:Julie: "Gloria and I
I blog to you live from my desk on West 42nd Street during the 15-minute break I am allowing myself to eat the tasty Greek salad I just bought downstairs. It's a nice day outside, but I'm a little too busy today to spend an hour lounging in Bryant Park.Instead I bring you a breaking colleague convo that took place just moments ago in the elevator as it descended to the ground floor. The brief conversation - fueled by the elevator spam - is recounted below.Note: Elevator spam is defined by blogger Sardonick as small TV screens that deliver, via wireless update, “quality programming” (news, weather, stock quotes, advertisements) to riders of the elevator.Random survey displayed on elevator spam: "Is it ok to use a coupon on a first date?" Approximately 72% of respondents had said no.Me: [laughing at screen in upper left corner of elevator] Is it ok to use a coupon on a first date?Julie: Noooooooo ...Gloria: [laughing]Hot guy in back right corner of elevator: What's wrong with that
As I was leaving the office this evening, one of my coworkers asked what I had planned for the evening."Oh, I'm just going to hope that I don't talk myself out of going to the gym before my train reaches 96th Street," I responded.Julie turned around in her chair: "See? That is why you should go to the gym in the morning. You don't know what you're doing, and by the time you wake up, you're already there."
