this is bloomin' ridiculous

so today is bloomsday - if you have a few hours, you might like to brush up on Joyce's Ulysses - it's a quick read really. happy bloomin' birthday to dorothy who is enjoying nyc as i sit at my desk and contemplate the stage of disgruntlement that must lead to office measures like this (from an email i just received from the office manager):

"Attention all employees:

There will be some exciting and weird changes taking place over the next few days. You will want to watch for these changes and enjoy them. On your way to the bathroom today you will notice a hopscotch board. We encourage you to join in the fun or at least skip through it on the way back to your desk."


that's right, now we can play hopscotch on masking tape at the top of the stairs. this won't make my job feel elementary or trivial at all. in fact, it makes me feel like i am more valued here. who needs a monthly bonus? i say we put a tetherball in the break room next...
