The One Year Shpeal.

Tomorrow marks the official 1st Year Anniversary of the Cubicle Land Chronicles. yayyyyyyyyyyy.

I may have been brainstorming icon/logo ideas last night. Maybe.

It all started back up on the 9th Floor with Pod Snack-A-Lot and the gang (HookerJones, C-dawg, Chi-Chetti, and The Butler. and of course...me). The first post was actually the new hire questionnaire we drafted and crafted to weed out the weak links. Maybe you thought I was jesting in my post yesterday - but I for real couldn't keep a cubemate for a solid 6 months. I went through like three or four.

Anyways, on November 6, 2009 the blog was "Unofficially Official" - the questionnaire that I sent out to varied recipients. Their mostly-appalled, mostly-confused responses made it clear that this had to happen. Or that I was straight outta my mind [click here to read the inaugural blog post].

Cheers. To Cubicle Land. Where the coffee flows freely, where people do not look forward to your phone calls, and where your life has just been dominated by The Management. May it make Friday at 5pm one of the best moments ever - one that you get to experience every week, for the next 60 years of your life.

Cubicle Land's List of Top Ten Twenty-Something Pointers (sprinkled with some key posts):

• Start each year with a bang.
• Your first year of cube life will be marred by two words: PANIC BUTTON...so GTFO unless you want "Fries with Your Future".
• Phones have cameras for a reason. Mostly for insanely awkward snapshots of every day life ("Crack Kills: An Adventure in Casual Dining"). But. As we learned, and streamed press conferences online, sexting ruins lives...even though it's really really really awesome when Tiger Woods and Brett Favre get caught with their pants on the ground.
• Cruise season begins and ends with carbicide. Take a bite out of life.
• Think: GTL. Gym. Tan. Laundry...seriously. Break it down, and that's basically what your twenties are. Fist-pump holla. If you're in your twenties; then everyone who isn't in their twenties most likely loves your life so hard. Make them jealous. And keep them guessing.
• Remember When...we crafted that memo to HR about hiring better looking dudes? ...BuckWild was banned from Canada?...VAJAZZLING?
• As always: "ABC - Always Be Closing", "When in doubt, put out.", "Smile & Dial", and "Google That Shit."
