Hello! She does in fact wear glasses! Not big but still. She is nutty. More so than me! She has a sweet heart but I can't get over how nosy she is! UGH! I don't mind someone asking a question cuz their interested but she asks to "gain information". Anyway, if they'd wanted a woman to fill the role of Milton- they could have taken actual footage of her at work! (I'm not being mean, she's just... Milton!)
BTW, have you ever watched The Office? Great, great show! Hilarious!
Also, still totally hung up on the B-day thing! At what age does this thing called life become easier???
office space was on sky again last night so I had to watch it- again, i love that film... "if things go well I might be showing her my oh face, oh!, oh!, oh!, you know what I'm talking about, oh!" I'm going to use that line at work and see what reaction i get from the girls Yeah the office is a good comedy although i've never been a huge fan-are you referring to the british or american version.
Don't panic about the b day, just go with the flow. Unfortunately i'm getting close to 30 and life doesn't seem to be getting easier-in fact its getting a bit tough at the moment, oh well another day another dollar.

My B-day is on V-day and I am absolutely dreading that day! I have been freaking out for the last week thinking about it! At my work we have a Birthday Club in which they buy treats for everyone in my department when it's someones birthday. It's supposed to be a nice thing, you know? But I am freaking out because I do not want the attention on me! Not only is it my birthday but it's also Valentines day and I don't want anyone asking me about my relationship. I am panicking! I just know I am going to be bright red all day and feel so stupid! Last night I was contemplating how I could make myself sick and not go to work that day. Or I could take my vacation! Or I could quit! I was actually thinking I could quit my job and have no source of income just so I can avoid having attention on me! I am sooo nervous about it!
could you switch the shift with someone..so they could work your birthday and you could work one of their shifts? ..or..i know, this is bad advice.. perhaps you could call in *cough* sick
You know... maybe i'm stating the obvious here but you could just not do it. Admittedly you may have to tell people before hand to prevent present mishaps but people should respect the point of not wanting to.
Personally birthdays simply annoy me, its like... a mockery of good intentions, with some exceptions I guess.

Unfortunately, I work a 9-5 type job and don't have the option to switch shifts. At the beginning of the year we had the option to say 'yes' or 'no' to joining the stupid birthday club. My department has only 16 people in it and everyone else chose to be in it. At the time, I felt it would be socially unacceptable to not participate so I signed up. This week the woman in charge of the "Club" sent an e-mail out to everyone stating each persons birthday- so there's no going back now. Should of just said "No thanks. Don't celebrate" but I didn't have the guts. I thought w/such a small department they'd all think I was totally weird & introverted- which they probably already think. I've definitely been contemplating calling in sick! Or dead- lol (not really funny but just kidding). But again, I feel like people will think I'm weird- like they'll know the real reason I called off. I already declined going to the two Holiday parties they had back in Dec. and almost everyone else went. It's soo stupid anyway! I just wish I didn't care and my stupid face didn't turn stupid bright red and there was no such stupid thing as stupid anxiety!! ARR!
HH-I've only seen the American version of The Office. And I think it's too funny!

this place where you work sounds massive-your department only has 16 people-that's loads, where i work there's about 16 people in the hole company. All these people must be a nightmare, god it must just be like the huge office in office space
If i was was in your situation i'd be worried as well, so your not the only one that thinks of these things, sorry this isn't helping. Do you tend to keep to yourself when at work or do you try and make some effort to speak to other people-even if its in a Lumburg voice, that's a start, that's greeaaattttt!
you could burn the place down at night-do a milton
I guess it is a pretty big office. There are about 350 employees in all. My brother works at a much larger company and so maybe that's why I view it as small. Do I keep to myself? Yes! I mean, I try to interact some but it's really hard when you start turning colors just because someone said "Hi". Probably I would say more if I did speak in a Lumburg voice! I wouldn't be being me so it'd be easier! Of course, I'd have the new problem of everyone thinking I was a freak for always talking like that. LOL.
