Hunched Back Office Dweller

Feeling very much like this guy lately. Too much desk work all day and into the night.

Office Troll Dude

Tonight I was just about to shut things down at the office and head over to Victory to pick up a growler of their new Baltic Thunder Porter when the office troll popped up behind my desk and started gnawing on my display.

I said, "Dude."

You pretty much have to beat him with stapler to get him to lay off the equipment and go back to hiding under the conference room table. He likes to give you those yellowy weepy eyes as a bid for sympathy. Doesn't work on me.

It was enough of a hassle that the whole distraction put me off my post-work mission. I guess I'll head over to Victory Friday night.

Charlie Skinny Neck

Charlie stops by the mcglinch-cave every once in a while. He of small head, long skinny neck and beady black eyes posed for this snapshot yesterday.

Six-Fingered Office Rat

I was working on this watercolor depicting the various dooways and light that lead from my dreary dark and windowless office yesterday when the six-fingered company rat passed by, stopped, gave me his usual 'peace sign' greeting, and then kept moving. He never says anything -- just flashes the peace sign on his creepy six-fingered paw and moves on.

fuzzy-eyed office manager

no one in particular.

Incessant Meeting Talker

Standard Operating Procedure: How we work

variations on angst? or boredom? or just plain giving up?

Did these 2 sketches after I had given notice and we were going through a stretch of trying to resolve some string matching cleanup issues that was growing more and more painful. It's that feeling where you just want to put your head on a table and stare at a paper clip for a long time and hope that somehow everything else will go away.
