Reasons I Love My Job

August 22nd, 2008 by Steven · 5 Comments

Readers,

I have been recently reminded by Wife that I haven’t been able to bless you with a post recently. Apologies, readers. To make up for it I grant you with yet another American pastime, no, not demolition derby watching,

Lists!

Everyone loves a list! Give them out for birthdays and bar mitzvahs! Tell your friends!

Here we go!

Top ten reasons I love my jorb (so far)

10. Manager from New York saying “cup of cawfee” (Now if only I can get him to say fuggedaboutit)

9. Two minute commute. Literally.

8. Free drinks. All day long. All the Schweppes I can muster.

7. Wife making team treats every Friday. Hello, jello with carrots!

6. Free streaming HDTV to my laptop. Hello, Golden girls marathon!

5. Swag! I’ve got Cisco bedsheets now, working on the entire bedroom set.

4.  Location puts me two hours from the beach, and four hours from IKEA. Woot.

3. 3 pm end times on Fridays. (Only sometimes. Like today. And last week. Today? Going swimming.)

2. Days chock full of all the nerd terms I can handle. Hooray for three letter acronyms!

1. My Cisco desk phone now has the 24 CTU ringtone. I only need someone to tell me to open a socket to the mainframe, Where are you when I need you Chloe?

Yes readers, I am quite content here in North Carolina and at my place of work. Now I must be off. There’s a immintent terrorist threat that only I can save by refreshing the main line and sending the info encrypted to Jack on his PDA.  I’m off!

    It was all looking pretty amazing until I saw the CTU ring tone; that definitely put your job past the point of amazing to SUPERB! I am so jealous!

    Nerd terms and geeky ring tones, you definitely have made it to the big time little bro.

    I’m so glad you two are loving NC! I hope you are able to refresh the main line and send the encrypted info WITHIN THE HOUR.

    Also, I LOVE your couch. It is beautiful. Can’t wait to sit on it…

    Steve - Love this post! I’m so glad you and EB are enjoying your new schnazzy life. I only have you beat on one count. I’m a mere 90 minutes from IKEA. Snap!

    No wonder the perimeter around Cisco is so good. Maybe we can trade swag sometime soon. Want any Deloitte pens or highlighters? I have a few.
