Things on my Desk - Part 5

Sometimes I get nice things.  This is one of them.  Yesterday, my fiance and I went to get our marriage license, and when I returned to work in the afternoon I discovered that my cubicle had been strewn with streamers, wedding decorations, little plastic swans, and these Cindi Lauper-hairstyle table decorations that you see above.  I was really touched, because I hadn't even gotten MARRIED yet.  I just got my license, but someone at my work was thoughtful enough to do such a kind gesture.
It's times like these that working in the corporate world, isn't so bad after all.

I Know the Deputy Mayor

So I just found out that the First Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles is my former employer before I began working at Warner Bros.  Right now, he's trying to scale back Los Angeles' endeavor to have renewable energy levels running at 40% of total capacity by 2022.  Nice work, boss.  Keep lowering those expectations.

Things on My Desk - Part 4

See this thing?  Pretty cool, right?  No idea what it is.  My co-worker got it for me and the other people in our department from Hong Kong, which was nice of her.  I think it's a dragon and you're supposed to put it on your keychain or charm bracelet, but I'm not sure so I'm just leaving it on my desk.  That way, my co-worker understands that I appreciate the gift.  Maybe I'll hang it on my bulletin board, or maybe I'll just leave it alone, cause it could be cursed or something, like that idol that Greg Brady messed with when the Brady Bunch went to Hawaii.  Remember that?

Now I'm starting to worry.  I don't want binders to start falling on my head or the elevator to plummet to the earth because I didn't treat this thing with the proper respect.  You know what, I'm gonna go ask her what this is so I make sure I don't offend it.

[Walking away from desk to ask co-worker]

She doesn't know.
