And now for the ever-popular List of Things That Make Me Feel Crappy At Work

[Dear Reader: if you are having a good day, don't let this bring you down. Go read the post about demons instead, or scroll past this to the sweet Samsquanch photo below.]

• Locking myself out of my office (repeatedly, all day long)
• Losing important things
• Being talked down to by grumpy secretaries
• Getting my feelings hurt by said “professional assistants”
• Being called by the wrong name (on purpose?)
• Over-thinking a small thing like being called by the wrong name (see parentheses above)
• Putting something off for a long time because it sucks, only to be bit in the ass for doing so (and knowing that it is my own fault)

And now for the more uplifting List of Things That Make Me Feel Awesome At Work

• Changing my desktop picture to this
• Consuming vast amounts of “cappuccino” from the automated dispensing machine
• Eating a very garlicky (read: delicious) lunch
• Saving money by bringing said lunch from home
• Amassing physical evidence of my employment-related competence
• Being told that I came across as “very professional” while being interviewed by the effervescent crew of Shaw TV (a session which I previously felt contained far too many “um”s and confused brow-furrowing on my part)
• Finding the picture below while googling the Sasquatch Music Festival (only 18 days away and counting!)

incompetence is

relative, but manifests

in empty stomachs
