Oh man. In the last 3 months of 2004 (because a Subway was the closest food place at the site where I was working) all I had was toasted sandwiches from Subway. My fave's the Southwest Cheese Steak with Chipotle. Mmmm hmmm. Gimme a foot-long of that - everything except onions - with some jalapeño crisps, Ruby Red juice drink and I'm all set to go!

Quizno's I can't remember what my fave is but my sib had the chicken carbonara just a while ago, which I finished for her. It was mighty tasty.

If you ever get franchises of Potbelly (get a Wreck) or Jimmy John's over there, you'll be complete. :D

What drink options does the local Subway over there offer? Is it true you can have beer to go with your sandwich?

@ 2:
Yeaaaaa! A g-blog-to-flickr migration. Totally!

@ 4:
lomo.com man, is impressive. Lomography on the whole is daunting, beautiful and just plain daunting. It's great stuff but I won't ever be able to do anything like it. I mentioned flickr-ising g-blog to the G-Boss but he said (and don't quote me on this) it's for GBv2. The sizing on flickr is a bit strange, that's why I use photobucket a lot and flickr only if I've a massive number of photos. (Because editing + posting is a beehatchi!)

@ 7:
Teh Office... Furry?! /just kidding!

This is about your personal life, Boss, or... something related to G-blog? Whichever it is, chin up, goodluck, and May The Force Be With You.

You know who you look like dude? That guy who played Van Helsing! Totally. Target18 and Target66 are awesome. You'd do well to submit these to the mirror project. (:

I tried something similar to a blog when I was corporate, but with results similar to yours. My VP (that is, the VP of IS) took me to lunch one time to listen to salespitch A, and explain the finer points of office politics B.

me: But look at it - it's human nature to talk about oneself, and one does it all the time. entire speeches start with I. I did this I did that I think this etc. ...So writing about one's opinions is the natural extension, isn't that logical?

him: Sure. Sure it is. In an ideal world. Listen. You're new. Give it some time. Give em a while to get the hang of it. But... then again, maybe not. Look at the people you're working with.

--

I don't get it. It's SO easy to call for a meeting over the phone or via email (thank you Outlook, gdmf....) and shouldn't a blog make it even easier to discuss ideas, offer suggestions, etc. Maybe because the nature of a blog is that it's personal? But what about group blogs? How do those work? Maybe they work because the participants are to some degree intimate with each other - that is - they are familiar with the others' habits, patterns (either IRL or online) and there is some measure of ... friendship? A comfort level? (What's the right word to use here? )

But isn't working in the same company - the same building or floor (cubicle kingdom) one of the most intimate situations one can ever be in? Sharing the same intranet, water cooler, breakroom, lavatories? Or is it this forced intimacy which makes people erect walls where there shouldn't be?

I remember a design fad in the mid/late Nineties where cubicle farms did away with the walls and "opened up" the workspace by lowering or totally eliminating cubicle walls. I think the Swiss started it. Or the Belgians? But all that does is reinforce the invisible wall - or what I call "office gameface", where one has to come up with better and newer ways of looking busy while actually getting nothing done. Well, nothing except endless porn/games/chatting/mp3 downloading and everything else except the work that's described in the ever-so-handy job description.

And then they call in these so-called efficiency experts.

Wtf.

(Sorry if this turned out to be another rant. But I'm with you. Hope your mblog at work works out.) (:

(To the dismay of my purist associates) In a surprising twist, I enjoyed the remakes MORE than the originals.

But Pet, Hollywood is an abomination.
Yeah... Naomi Watts though. Hmmmm.
