Conversation I had this morning with my coworker, Christine, who gets mad when I call her “my coworker” instead of “my kick-ass friend”. So just to clarify, she’s both.
Me: Dude! I’m totally the top story on Geekologie!
Christine: Really?
Me: Yes! Pull it up!
Top story on Geekologie:
Christine: Huh.
Me: Oh. That’s not me.
Christine: Hmm.
Me: Just…go further down.
Christine: “Robotic spider to destroy Liverpool on Friday“?
Me: Fuck. Keep scrolling. Wait…there!
Christine: “Woman gets confusing box of LEGO parts“?
Me: Yeah! I’m “Woman”!
Christine: Wow.
Then I walked next door to my other co-worker’s office and was like “Hey! I was on Geekologie!” and then she’s all “Geek-what-ogie?”” and then I give her a look of profound disappointment and explain that it’s like the Gadgety counterpart of The Superficial so I pull it up and she’s like “The hell? When did you get tranny legos?” and I’m all “YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME AT ALL!” and then I went into my office and cried a little. Inside. And then I made some super-complicated pivot-tables in excel and my computer crashed and I half suspect that it’s bringing down the entire company server and I’m afraid to ask if anyone else’s computer is slow now in case they suspect that I caused it.
And then my super-nice boss came in and said “My daughter showed me your blog yesterday and we watched that video where you keep yelling the c-word and I kept telling my daughter ‘That is not the sweet Jenny I know!'” and then I was like “I’M MULTI-FACETED!” And then I realized I was yelling. Also I just found out I’m being relocated to another building like a mile away from all of them. I’m pretty sure none of this is related.
Comment of the day: Where’d you find that cool artsy photo of two alien children sharing a Coke? It’s just so darn cute. ~ I can’t read my nametag
Darlin’…you are “Multifaceted” and so much more!!!
Oh and a F-in’ Genius!
Jenn’s last blog post..If I Had Known…
Sorry… Fortunately they hadn’t posted the X-rays of the standard phone with the cord I had tried to sneak into jail.
Bad idea… the cord was nowhere NEAR long enough to get to my cell.
Houston’s last blog post..Jury Selection For Eric’s Trial
I thought I was so creative stashing my phone in my bra, like a chipmunk with big old nut stashing cheeks. Some days I keep pulling stuff out of there, like gum balls, shorty pencils, and gas station receipts, and ofcourse, eventually, the phone. It’s easier to locate when it’s ringing.
clickmom’s last blog post..drink up
You’re not multi-faceted, you’re full of mosquitoes. lol
You’re also the one who crashed the whole building’s server. WAY TO GO!
Rhea’s last blog post..War & Peace…in the carpool line
I always walk that thin line between wanting people to know “the real/fun/irreverent me” on my blog and the version of me they THINK they know.
I hate keeping my blog from certain friends and family.
On the other hand, I kinda live by the rule,
If they can’t take a fuck,
Joke ’em.
I’m so JEALOUS…I’ll I got on Geekologie was a little thing at the bottom of the Bigfoot is fake story something that said “Thanks to so and so, so and so and Gingela 5 for sending in the story” And you being moved probably has something to do with Chuck…
gingela5’s last blog post..Bitterness Brings Out My Good Side…
So… do you think they were plannig on using those phones once they removed them? Because that is just sick.
Oh, and congrats on the whole geekologie thing!
Gross.
Bringing up Geekologie’s stats while crashing the company’s server? You can add “multi-tasking” to your accomplishments as well. Nice!

New reader here! Did I comment yet? Who knows. Anyhow, just stopping by to say you are one of my new favorite reads. You make me lol lol lol all the way home.
I kinda wish that was your bum with the phone in it though. Because I am really curious how they got it out of there.
Amanda’s last blog post..Who the hell is this Kim Kardashian person?
it’s one thing to break into a little chuckle at work.
totally different to go into one of my laughing, snorting, hacking fits…i’ve been told i sound like all sorts of things, but generally a guinea pig.
and that’s only from the little side of me my coworkers (who are not kick-ass friends, a la Christine) see day to day.
i am afraid for them to someday experience my true insanity. because i’m sure in my case, i’d get shipped off to our west coast office, and that’d be sad.
also, i hate pivot tables. excel=death of me. good thing that’s 98% of the job…

Issa’s last blog post..Announcements for the day
Ok…I try to do pivot sort thingys in Excel and sometimes it works but if it does it usually takes like an extra two or three hours more than it should have and no one is as impressed by it as I had imagined they would be and then someone always sends it back to me and it’s ruined, but I don’t notice and I save the fucked-up version over the good version
When I read “multi-faceted” from you, what I hear is a poly-polar behavioral rationalization that begs for you to be isolated from the general population of faith-based employees.
Oh, it’s great that you were on geek whatever.
Sometimes people are really,really smart and say something witty in the comments and everyone is all “LOL!!111” and we all sit back and laugh and laugh and laugh and just appreciate the hell out of that person and then we stop.
And then there are times when people post a stupid comment on the wrong post and everyone is all “dipshit.”
I am one of those people.
Kurt’s last blog post..Random Friday Blog
My 6 yr old totally loved your legos! He wanted some just like yours, only star wars (whatever that means – crossdressing star wars lego guys, hmmm, maybe I need to have a talk with him).
How do you get a whole box of just lego people anyway?

mtnhighmama’s last blog post..WallFlower Wednesday
I can’t believe you still have a job there. Didn’t Dooce get fired for this type of thing? Anyway, I did *not* know about Geekologie, so thanks for that.
PS- I was on Boing Boing once and I called every single family member with a computer to share the news. Only 2 of them had ever heard of it, so most didn’t understand why I thought I deserved a party.
PPS- I’m glad you don’t have a cell phone up your bum and/or cooch.
I saw those tranny legos on Geekologie this morning and I was all “I know that Woman!” Lol, awesome.
I wonder if they’re moving you to a cloister, like a nun…..you may want to stick a cell phone up your cooch just in case. Oh, and put it on vibrate!
Karyn’s last blog post..Nothing to say

At least now you can yell the C word at the walls with no one having to hear you.
Maybe you’ll fit in better at the new building. You certainly fit in well here though!

None of this has anything to do with why you were moved.
No ma’am, they made that decision when you guffawed during prayer. Der.
Is multi-faceted anything like bi-polar? Cause I’m all about making my crazy sound prettier. Sort of gives it a blingy feel.
I’m sure your faith-based employer is just thrilled shitless about your c-word dropping on the internet….oh wait…not the CHRIST word…the OTHER c-word….ahhh, happy moving.

Multifaceted genius! You could write a guide to getting your company to pay to relocate you to your own office space down road. Complete with tranny legos. Also, new office must be located next door to zombie/vampire cemetary.

Emily’s last blog post..Some Funny to Break Up the Serious
Just wait, Diane. They’ll be telling you in a couple of days.
BTW, Jenny, don’t be making fun of Chuck. I’m a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster: http://www.venganza.org/about/open-letter/ <– (that’s the letter that we sent to the Kansas school board about teaching Non-intelligent Design theories in their classrooms), so if you’re going to make fun of something, make fun of all of the morons who faithfully give 10% of their incomes to some asshole who stands behind a podium on Sundays, just because he told them they should.
So apparently I’m chopped liver over here in your new building. I’m so excited you are coming BACK over here and working near me I wet myself a little!
Did I tell you we are moving you into office 1313 Squid? he he he I bet that made you wet yourself a lot or at least squirm a little didn’t it?
for what it’s worth, i knew about you before geekology, so really, they should be the ones that are impressed with being featured on your blog!

I got moved to a different office once. I was moved out of a building with people into one across the camp where I was all by myself. “AWESOME!” I thought. A couple months later, someone remembered I was there and totally laid me off. Funny thing is, I thought that was pretty awesome, too. I don’t predict unemployment in your future, though, because that’s not one of my talents.

i was just mentioning this to my sister tonight on the phone, the superficial’s sister site geekologie. i pronounced it like geek LOOGIE and she laughed for about three hours. then she said, leah it’s geek-OLOGY. then she asked if i was being serious, and i said straight up serious.
i thought would be a good tie in to announcing that an old neighborhood butcher shop we used to frequent was held up last night, but the cashier shot the robber guy. i said you remember the shamrock food KINTER don’t you? (center, pronounced KINTER). get it? i was six at the time, it’s an old family joke.
nevermind.
you are awesome. every single day.
piglet’s last blog post..whatever you do, don’t tell my mom about any of this.
