One of the things I like to do to calm my mind is organize things. All this backstory is a lead into the fact that I fucking LOVE post-its. I bow down to their superior sticky/noteyness. I am the queen of post-its, I use them everywhere. I even have a post-it app on my smartphone. I also have one on my bathroom mirror that my mother left for me the last time she visited that says "have a great day!! (ridiculously smiley face)". I love it. I look at it every morning. But since it's no longer sticky, and slowly getting covered in hairspray and dust, it'll have to be taken down soon. Dammit.
Anyway....
In case you don't believe me, here's some proof:
Exhibit A: My desk at work.
I know what you're thinking (besides "holy shit this girl has problems"); and yes, I always need to have more than one color choice. It wouldn't be nearly as pretty if they were all that ugly piss-yellow color. But it gets better. I like to leave notes for myself that will help my disposition, should I happen to be in a crazy-ish mood. And they truly do help. You know what they say: "If you can't laugh at yourself....then you're an asshole." Or something like that. Whatever.
Exhibit B: My favorite thing on my desk.
Not only is it a note to myself that literally spells out how awesome I am....but it's held up by a little foam toilet. How fucking cool is that?! I got it at some food expo years ago. (Yeah, idk why there was a booth at a food show that was giving away these things either...but hey, who cares? It's a tiny toilet I can keep on my desk!)
Also I thought I'd include this picture of my desk chair....and "The Mysterious Stains":
I don't know when these weird ass stains appeared on the seat of my chair, but I'm assuming it happened when someone else was sitting there. Because I would remember if I shat myself in my office chair. And the worst part is that when someone else needs to use it (like the dude that fixes our computers and shit)..I know they're thinking: "Eww.. dude, I so don't wanna sit in that shit!" And then I'm embarassed. But I swear these stains aren't from me. Unless they're some kind of residual fart stains. Because I fart in this chair a lot. lol - What? It's not like I share an office with anyone. And the windows are usually open. Usually. :o)
Yeah, just use tape to put that post-it that your mom left you back on the mirror...I SO get post-its, still have one from Taylor that has stick people doing the Macarena :>)
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, and how cool is it that you get to throw them out when you're "done" with that particular task...it's like a sticky note celebration..."take that you little post-it thing?"
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been adding new pieces of tape for awhile now. I think I'll just ask her to write me a new one when I visit this summer.
ReplyDeleteAnyone with an affection for Post-It Notes will enjoy this creative work. The source page is no longer there, but if you click the image in the blog post you can see the Post-It Note portrait enlarged. Yay!
