Work Series Part 3: How I Keep Entertained

Anyone who works in an office knows the importance of keeping yourself entertained during the day. Eight hours (or 12 hours as my day turned out to be yesterday) is a very long time to stare at a computer screen.

For your viewing pleasure, here are some of the ways I keep myself entertained at work.

My stick:

I love this stick. I used to have a really long stick, but Alex (the warehouse guy) took it away from me because he said I was acting irresponsibly. OK, so maybe once I accidently poked SuperDaysh in the head with the stick, but I don't think that's grounds for taking my stick away. I pleaded to get my stick back, so Alex gave in and let me have a smaller stick. Well, I certainly wasn't satisfied with that...so I taped pens to the end. And now it is long and really, really sturdy!

Sometimes, I just wave my stick around for fun. Other times, the stick finds it's way over to SuperDaysh's side of the cubicle. But mostly, I just walk around with the stick and every once in awhile shout out, "Hi-ya!" while doing a Tae-Bo move.

Yesterday, I found a new way to use the stick...golf. Here I am golfing at the trash balls SuperDaysh threw over the cubicle wall at me.

We tried playing baseball with the trash balls, but golf worked much better.

I have to hide my stick now for fear that it will get taken away again.

Puppet shows:

For one reason or another, our office is often filled with kids. Elaine brought in some toys for the kids to play with while they wait for their moms to get out of meetings. I have made friends with the elephant puppet.

Here he is being nice and polite.

And this is Mr. Elephant being a rebel.

Fun with bubble wrap:

As evidenced by the previous post, we play with a lot of bubble wrap in our office. One day, SuperDaysh was really cold because of the air conditioning. Well, I did what any good office mate would do and I wrapped her in bubble wrap to keep warm. And keep warm she did.

And sometimes, to let out some pent-up frustrations, we put on the bubble wrap boxing gloves and "punch" things. We even played bloody knuckles one day and it didn't even hurt.

Locking the "office":

Jerry said he doesn't trust us anymore since the rampant display of practical jokes. He locks his door now when he leaves his office. (By the way, I don't know why he doesn't trust us...I was the one receiving all the practical jokes!) SuperDaysh decided she wanted to lock her "office."

See, you can't get in without a key! The doors are locked! (SuperDaysh, don't forget to get a spare made.)

Toys, lots and lots of toys:

Jerry's office is full of all kinds of fancy toys. This is one of the toys that I like to play with.

I like to watch the big bubbles coming up.

Mr. IT Man:

SuperDaysh's computer has been having trouble all week. One of the things we've done to help keep her from going insane while her computer is being worked on is to bug Mr. IT Man.

Here he is contemplating SuperDaysh's computer issue.

And here he is "fixing" the computer.

(I took these pictures by standing on top of my desk and looking over the top of the cubicle wall. And I got Mr. IT Man's permission to post his picture.)

It's my belief that Mr. IT Man was breaking SuperDaysh's computer instead of fixing it so he could spend more time with the "cool kids."

Happy Meal Fun:

And the day wouldn't be complete without a little fun with the Happy Meal toys.

Panda and Mantis are big crowd pleasers.

But I especially enjoy the princess necklace.

Ooooo, it smells like roses.

That's not lipgloss, it's perfume! I learned this lesson the hard way.

Thank you SuperDaysh for being such a gracious model.

And that my friends completes the three-part office series. I hope you enjoyed the adventures!
