Lessons Learned on a Friday

1. Spatial reasoning tests can induce migraines.
I took one today and it gave me a headache. I wonder how I survived having to take all those IQ tests in grade school, high school, and college.

2. Espresso can keep you awake for 48 hours.
I down one every day. It helps me keep my eyes open, but only after I’ve puked out half of my stomach’s contents. Yam says espresso makes her vomit, too. One of these days, I’m going to study the possibility of packaging espresso as a must-have beverage for anorexics.

3. Not all bosses are assholes.
I love my boss. We all do. No matter how heavy our workload or tasks, we feel inspired each time we talk to him or see him. Oh, and he’s very goodlooking, too! Everyone should have a boss like mine.

4. Strange, interesting people are sometimes found in structured environments.
It’s widely believed the most interesting of people are never found inside offices. They run away to Santorini to write books or become roadies. I am happy to report that there are lots of strange, interesting people in my workplace, and they’ve been thriving in this structured environment for years now. One adopts hobbies as frequently and quickly as she eats; another goes traveling with a cow that blogs. A third leads multiple - not just double - lives. She’s a writer, a doodler, and the most fearsome seamstress this side of Asia. The fourth one has wanderlust and takes photos of her feet every time she treads on places other than her hometown.

5. Dave Navarro is hot.
The office’s resident ogre introduced me to Dave Navarro today. I never even knew the guy existed until today. Dave Navarro sizzles. With a body like that, he has no right to wear shirts.

6. Hangovers do not follow known mathematical constructs.
The bottles of San Mig Light you swig will not always be directly proportional to the intensity of your hangover.
