What Works for Me

I was talking to a friend on IM, when I was suddenly pelted with slanders based on the outdated and outmoded stereotypes of Minnesotan behavior. I struck back for Minnesotans everywhere:

fun chat, im

I sent the following IMs (I’m the blue/gray one) to a co-worker, in an attempt to get her to laugh in front of our boss:

A friendly chat between me and a co-worker, admiring her recently-posted Employee Profile!

Chat
(2:59:22 PM) Me: Hey I saw your profile up in the brunch room
(2:59:52 PM) Co-worker: did you like it
(3:00:21 PM) Me: I did
(3:00:24 PM) Me: except for all the cursing
(3:00:56 PM) Co-worker: what cursing?
(3:01:22 PM) Me: lotta swears
(3:01:38 PM) Me: it’s like a sailor wrote it while on shore leave
(3:02:06 PM) Co-worker: I don’t think you were reading mine
(3:02:36 PM) Me: it had a picture of you giving the "bird"

fun, real life im, work

At my work, a couple of co-workers and I enjoy going to this restaurant in Eagan called Hovie’s. They sell bargain-basement sandwiches in a diner/lunch counter atmosphere. If a $4 club sandwich while watching Maury is your idea of heaven, Hovie’s may be the place for you.

We get to talking about our love of Hovie’s now and then, and today was no different (I’m in red):

Apparently, I’m really funny today:

People always ask me, “Sean, what do you IM your co-workers about?” Well, my friends, today that question will be answered.

This is what I talked about with our accountant today (I’m in red):

A co-worker was looking for a specific kind of tall desk he could use so he could stand while he works.

Another co-worker and I were gossiping about it. The details are below (I’m the one in red).
