Have fun at wrk this week
That's not a typo in the title, folks. This week, there is no O in work. That's because the O is on vacation. Dress codes and proper hygiene be damned. Out with the khakis and hair combing, in with the gym shorts and vacation beard.
I'm not going anywhere either. I'll be playing dad in the mornings, and playing sloth in the afternoons. I'll be watching The Young and the Restless daily. I'm not ashamed. I plan on doing some yardwork, coming inside, laying on the floor in my underwear while watching TV, with a can of Pepsi Lime and a bag of Sunchips strategically placed nearby, as to avoid unnecessary movement. I plan on playing at least 36 holes of golf. I'm going to do so much blog commenting this week, you all are going to get sick of me and the vole animations. I plan on making it through my entire iTunes playlist. Finally, I am going to prank call my job several times, ending each call with a loud:
"WRK IS FOR SUCKERS!" (click)
I love vacations.

As I am at wrk on July 4th, I found this post a bit cruel, but then you promised to comment the living life out of the Internet, so you were forgiven.I would let you prank call me at work, but the SWAT team takes things pretty seriously here...however, if you promised to post photos of the raid, I could probably be persuaded.
omar said:
I would normally feel bad about anyone feeling like my posts are cruel. Not this week though. I'm cold and heartless while I'm on vacation.

Wow, sounds like a good set of planned activities: yardwork, TV, 36 holes, posting and iTunes out the wazooty.So, what's the plan for Tuesday and the rest of the week?My jealousy kicks in tmrrw.Wait a minute, why am *I* leaving out Os? (Notice how I left out all the Rs and Js in these two sentences, ha-ha)
1GloriousConundrum said:
Very funny, Jam. I could form absolutely no sentences at all if I left out things resembling my sign-on. How I curse that thing...

nice flag omar. you officially suck. but hey, if i can't take an official vacay till 2007, at least SOMEone can.now that you have so much time on your hands, i'm so totally expecting a revolutionary new toy on omarphillips.net. it's gonna be a household name, you know.
1GloriousConundrum said:
Isn't it already?! Sure gets bandied about my household with surprising frequency (could be because I'm always strutting about in my OmarPhillips lingerie, though.)
omar said:
cadiz - Ouch, no vacation until 2007? That's rough. I mean, I'm so enjoying one right now, I couldn't imagine having to wait a year and a half. And yes, it is going to be a household name. I may have time to come up with something, maybe between rounds of golf. On my vacation.jam - Acutally, my iTunes playlist is 1.6 days long, so I couldn't do it all in one day. The rest of the stuff though...glo - I'm expanding one household at a time. Yours is already checked off my list. As is cadiz's, cate's, jon's, jam's, jasmine's, seventeensyllables', justanothersarah's, x's, and a few others. I lost exact count, but I think I still have a couple million to go. I'm counting on the clothing lines and my upcoming reality TV show to really get the exposure I'm looking for.

Reality TV?! Why didn't you mention this before?! I will clear the Tivo in anticipation!

its like watching a blnde bmbshell ride away in her merc after splashing yu with dirty sewer water n the street, befre flipping yu the finger. it hurts, mar, it really hurts.i have a study break this week which is as far away frm vacatin as yu can get. FAR, FAR, FAR away.
Jasmine said:
yeah omar! wooo hooo!!! will try to write a good post worth commenting many times on...you know, i'm at like page visit 7 thousand something. why don't you get me to 10? ;) i'm totally kidding. don't just sit there and reload it. i'll get there eventually...
cadiz12 said:
verrrry nice use of 'bandied about,' glo!i'm very curious to hear about the premise of the reality tv show.
1GloriousConundrum said:
As am I. Were the author of this blog to have, I don't know, a week off work, he could, perhaps, use it to create the premise of promised reality show. But that kind of thing never really happens.
cadiz12 said:
definitely not when there's a perfectly functional television upon which there is plenty of sportscenter. oh well.
omar said:
That was nice use of "bandied about," yes. I'll have to check with Mark Burnett first to see if I can release the premise of the show to the public yet. I'll keep you posted.

So jealous . . . although I only have to work today and tomorrow. Then I will be on a mini-vacay as well. Although my vacay will be spent traveling to KANSAS (a god-awful place to choose for a vacation, I know - going home to visit my famo). So clearly your vacation will be better spent. Great idea to prank work!
Jon said:
I have no problems with this post at all as I too am on vacation... were I not so far from home and my computer, I'd comment up a storm, but those are the breaks kids. I just don't have that kind of time. Don't worry though, when I get back, I promise to completely ignore my job for a week or two to get all caught up.
omar said:
jon, yours is a true vacation. You went somewhere (probably close to as far as you could have gone inside your own country, actually). Mine's just a vacation in the sense that I'm not at work.MEP - Kansas may not be a hot travel spot, but neither is my house. And from what I read on your site, your trip to Kansas may be interesting...
