wow, I didn't realize how old I am

Busy morning, I have some denims to measure, we have a showroom to put back when everyone is free, appointments to make blah blah blah. I got a bberry msg from Mimi asking "what's a Polkaroo?" from a previous post where I called her a Polkaroo. I was like you know "polk a dot door!" she responds with a "crickets" remark.

Polk a dot door started in 1971 and went to 1993. I stopped watching it after 1985 I think. I caught an episode in the 90's and it was tacky, they had new characters for Polkaroo to run with. They didnt know there was gonna be a huge monster in Barney coming to kick them off the air. Each episode had two human hosts, always one man and one woman, although there were many different human hosts over the course of the series. The same pair would host the show for a week; the next week would bring a new pair of hosts. They would lead children in songs and stories, and interact with stuffed animal characters Humpty, Dumpty, Marigold and Bear. These characters never spoke or moved. The hosts would let the audience know what they were saying but we didn't care.
There were theme days the hosts would invite the audience to peer through the Polka Dot Door to witness an educational video, showing, for instance, how ipods are made, jk. When the Storytime Clock chimed, one of the hosts would visit storytime mouse, who had appeared next to the oversized blue grandfather clock. This grey stuffed mouse would usually be engaged in some activity related to that day's story. The would host would then tell the time in a deliberate, educational way before beginning the story

Each day's episode had a particular theme. Monday was "Treasure Day", Tuesday was "Dress-Up Day", Wednesday was "Animal Day", Thursday was "Imagination Day", and Friday was "Finding out you are adopted and your two dads are actually gay, they are both white one is 37 and the other is 57 and you are chinese!!". On "Imagination Day", the character Polkaroo appeared. Polkaroo spoke using various repeated exclamations of its own name accompanied by elaborate gestures. The meaning of this pantomine (for those wondering what pantomine means ie Veg Girl: act out without words but with gestures and bodily movements only) was to be guessed by us. This was usually followed by a song whose lyrics began "Imagine, imagine, you can imagine Polkaroo...". Polkaroo appeared only to the female host while the guy host was absent for some reason but we all caught on. The male host would return upon Polkaroo's departure, habitually exclaiming, "Polkaroo was here?!? And I missed him again?!?"

Gotta go back to work, I can go on forever about polk a dot door but whatchu know about this??

I miss being a kid, my biggest worry was losing my Consumers Distributing catalogue

Monday was a success

The day flew by! 90% finished what needed to be done today.

I bought an airbrush off craigslist for $25.00 gonna try it out tonight when I get home. This was the picture that inspired me to get one.

I almost got Sonic Walled!!

Beware big brother is watching!!

Off topic but this is Veg Girls new photo for her business card. The thing is shes still not sure what business its gonna be for. Some say insurance broker, some say real estate I think it looks more like a photo one would put when advertising their motivational speech at the Radisson Hotel. Let me know your thoughts

Monday, Monday

New week, fresh legs, clear mind. Back to work right away, gotta put the showroom back together starting to show things for Spring 2011. 2011!! one more year and then the world ends according to John Cusack.

The morning was a little crazy, Capt obivious was in the house and already made his mark.

Happy birthday to main chick!! chillout I got Main Chick from a lyric from your least favorite but my number 1 "The Dream"

Yay 3 more days till Monday!!

Sad to say its kinda a slow day, sent out my product knowledge for the upcoming Fall season for a retailer I shall remain nameless..(cough! Jolt Curfew cough!) I must have looked over this thing like 40 times to see if I had any mistakes or something out of place. Eachtime there was something I had to change or rearrange or move or change or rearrange or move or change or rearrange or move!! Party Girl and Vag Girl have one to do for them as well. Party Girls looks legit and done pretty well. It will provide some stiff comp for office bragging rights when we have our fist annual PK competition. Veg girl outsourced her product knowledge to Dream Works Studios and James Cameron is gonna direct it. She has a hardon for Avatar she wants to be a Na'vi (the blue people) she even signed up for a scam of deal from this website that teaches you the Na'vi language. She prolly joined some facebook group and wants to partake in the conversations and bring something to their meets. Veg girl always has something to prove, did you notice I called her Vag girl earlier? not by accident (vampire/lesbian) jk Veg Platter you are not a vampire!

as aside - this is an inside joke for the office peeps, its 12:12pm and awkward just walked in!!! he cleaned up man, nice suit, new coif! I like him hes good people and means well. Almost looks like Howie Mandell!!

Anyways back to the p.k's G.Dubbs has one to do as well its for a store that rhymes with (cough..Gay..cough) he actually has to present his to a live studio audience. He used a shitload of paper so those people better make use of it. I wish him all the best, I know hes gonna use that public speaking technique and focus on the one hazel eyed guy in the crowd.

Sad day today, one of own is leaving for the motherland and will not be back. I didnt really have that much interaction with her because sales dept and credit dept don't mix well. Just kidding theres no beef that would be weird if there was one. I can't picture what the beef would be about but in my world a heated convo would be like this:

credit "Shut up sales all you do is go on the road for appts, interact with humans face to face on a daily basis. Go and develop relationships with customers and go to their weddings and their grandmas 68th bday parties and such. I get to sit in front of a computer all day and harrass people for money over the phone and by email so kiss my ass!"

sales "umm I just wanted to know if you had a toonie for the office lotto pool."

That was a weak convo lol!! Im running out of ideas....

Back to work, I have some orders to chase!!

But inside this is all I can think about! Who's with me? 3 more days till Monday!!

Weak ass joke of the day *UPDATE* from Veg girl

Just to recap Veg girl told me a really dumb boomerang joke the other day. Take a look back to refresh.
If interested I found the guy she met on the internet who told it to her. His name is frank and owns one of those toner refill kiosks at the Dr.Fleas flea market. Im not bashing meeting people on the net using skype, chatroulette or whatever they use these days.

Anyways take a look if you want, actually no I insist you click it. For the record his delivery was better.

I love the seashell border, I think he put them there so he can earn Veg girls trust. No way in hell does a man flash his boner with seashells as the frame.

Just hit me

I just realized this blog is only about food so far. Its supposed to be about the office, work actually happens here and there is far more interesting stuff than donuts.

I can't believe I slacked on the thing I do when I'm slacking!!!

I will start today but its also Friday so I will start Monday instead. In the meanwhile gonna check my inbox and start marking the important emails with follow up flags. jk
