My Awesomely Unexpected Day

Our top secret is out. Water Slide At Ludlow-Parkes! Even Barry took a ride. It was such great fun! Mitch cut his pants into shorts! Surf’s up! I’m so glad I kept that bathing suit in my bottom drawer. What a fun, fun insane day. I felt like a little kid again! Who knew fighting Indooritis could be such a blast? I have to tell the world about this … Fighting Indooritis is a full time job!

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

I think I need to find some sort of creative thing to do- and has to be outdoors. Not sure what. Maybe I need a vacation. I do need a vacation. Going on vacation alone? Nix that! Maybe I just need an hour or so with “Project Slippery Slide” as Mitch calls it. Oh someone left bottles of peach iced tea on everyone’s desk last night … which was great since I had nothing to go with my mandarin orange salad. I feel good! Wonder what other surprises are in store …

Theoretically speaking

Someone just called me “Astro-babe.” I think that’s a good thing. Maybe I’ll think up a nickname for him. Green Goblin? I’ll work on that in my spare time. When I’m not here crusading against Indooritis. Mitch “floated” a new theory by me today- “water trumps Indooritis”. He said it like it was this pronouncement from above. He’s a funny guy. Cracks me up. Anyway, he’s working on a new plan. Something with lots of water and lots of plastic. Hmm. Weird Bill also started setting up halogen video lights on tripods around the office. What are they up to? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

News from the swamp

Mitch and Bill are officially Indooritis Poster Boys! To bring in the great outdoors Bill put this movie- Swamp Thing?- on everyone’s desktop! The swamp isn’t my idea of a good time- I’m much more of a beach person- but the movie certainly raised the spirits around here. And with all the tea Mitch has gotten us to all be drinking we now have a lot more to talk about when we wait in line for the rest rooms. It’s strange, but his pale green skin blushes a little when he talks to me. It’s kinda sweet. In a swampy way.

Forrest Rivers

I keep catching myself singing that “Kokomo” song. What is that about? A symptom of something?!?!?! Of … Indooritis? Somehow I think there’s a Mitch connection here. He’s a good little soldier though. He left me a copy of a report written by one Forrest Rivers. Cute. Indooritis propaganda. Who’d of thunk it? Maybe I’ll organize a hike through the woods in honor of Mr. Rivers. That way we could see the Forrest for the trees! Clever, right? Ok maybe not. But we could all use some more time outside. This I know.

My quest for fresh air

So this guy I work with is really digging into the Indooritis research. I think he’s beginning to see it as some kind of quest. To him, it’s not just an assignment (or maybe an excuse to meet someone special, not that guys even think like that, duh), it’s a cause, a mission with a Capital M. All good. Especially if he gets the girl in the end. Hmmmm. Just found a packet of Lipton mixed berry Green tea in my top drawer … think I’m going to get my ladybug mug and get some fresh air. Yeah, I definitely need more fresh air.

Indooritis ..

I love my job, I really do but sometimes I have to do ‘extra projects.’ I hate doing extra projects. Love the money, hate the projects. I shouldn't complain but …. Grrrrrr! We have a new client, Lipton, who wants us to do research on something called Indooritis??? I am going to see if this guy who works here would like to help out with it. He really is the perfect person to help me with my new project... maybe we could drink a little tea, go for a walk outside...
