The Catherinette Chronicles

If we lived in utopia, none of these things would exist.  Instead, we’d all be sitting on our fit duffs, drinking cocktails and deciding how to spend another beautiful day in Shangri La.  No more having to get up at the ass crack of dawn to our thankless jobs in Corporate America (or other country), [...]

happened to be 40 minutes late to work today.  Oops!  Day 2 of being back at work and I can’t even manage to get here on time.  What does that say for my “love” of being here? 
Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I have to take phone calls from 9-1.  Let [...]

Okay, Batman, riddle me this:

1400(ish) employees

4 buildings

1 cafeteria

4 cashiers

6 microwaves in the cafeteria

Who did that f’ing math? 
This afternoon I went to the cafeteria with Disney.  It took him 5 minutes to get in line, order a sandwich, grab himself a drink, and pay.  It took me 15 minutes to wait for a blasted microwave.  I [...]

There’s a young man that works in my company that is fine. He dresses well, is hot, and has the personality of a mound of dirt. For someone as attractive as this J. Crewish young lad, you’d think he’d have some social skills. Not Wet Noodle. Talking to him is physically painful. While at first [...]

In addition to working with Jack Ass, I have the joy and pleasure of working with Debbie Downer. Have you ever met one of those people who just sucks the joy out of everything? She’s very much like this. Every time I talk to her it makes me want to wander back to my cubicle [...]

Here I am, off in the lovely English countryside.  Though the weather has been a little wet (shocker for England, I know), we’re enjoying the trip.  It’s easy to forget that my cubicle is back home waiting for me, and at this very second, someone is probably setting up an appointment for some stupid ass [...]

I’ve been at Investments r Us for over 10 years.  When I initially started, at the tender age of 23, I was sure it was a temporary gig.  Corporate America was a world where I would live for a maximum of 2 years, where I would meet my future husband.  Once married, I’d quit and take [...]

There was once a time when I cared what I put in my mouth (that’s what she said) and would pack my own lunch.  I’ve since become lazy, and about 10 pounds heavier.  My lazy ass needs to be fed, so I take advantage of the food provided by my company.  Here at Investments r [...]

1.  I sniff Mr. Sketch scented markers-but I can stop whenever I want to, I swear. Part of the reason I decided to become a trainer at Investments r Us is to have unlimited access to said markers. Man, they have such a fruity fresh scent-especially the purple one. I like to tell my students that [...]

Over at Investments r Us, my wonderful employer, they offer a variety of benefits.  One of those happens to be an on site gym.  State of the art (for the 1980’s) equipment can be found, classes are offered, and the young men that work there are definitely eye candy.  Especially the manager of the gym, the [...]
