I'm a words person, not a numbers person. But I think I manage my finances pretty well. And in Cube City, where we just can't seem to put into words how we manage money, I look like a friggin' CPA.
Sigh.
We seem to have no problem ordering 60 pizzas to bribe people to come to a "mandatory" meeting, but we have major problems hiring more people to help get the work done. Instead, we expect people to spend their free time working. Meanwhile, our grossly overpaid executives travel in style and spend $1500 on lavish client dinners. I don't even want to know what all they expense to the company. All I know is that it comes at a cost.
Who does the math and makes these decisions? If that's how we do math in Cube City, my days here as a CPA would certainly be numbered.

Accentuating the Positive
Okay, cube dwellers, that's it. I'm tired of ranting this week. I'm tired of my negativity. It's time to accentuate the positive in Cube City.
Speaking of accents, I work with a woman who has a very distinct and sophisticated accent. Everything she says sounds cool and important:
- It's not a status meeting, people. It's a STATE-us meeting.
- It's not a REsource but rather a reSOURCE.

It's the Not-So-Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
OMG. We're supposed to have a pumpkin-themed potluck in Cube City tomorrow.
Ain't no way.
I can't imagine eating a bunch of pumpkin foods, like pumpkin casserole with a pumpkin pie chaser.
One cube dweller said this is a good opportunity to get botulism. No, thanks!

I have to stop and think, WWCBD (What Would Charlie Brown Do)? After all, in "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," all Charlie Brown wants is to be invited to a Halloween party. Instead, he goes trick-or-treating and sadly comes home with a bag full of rocks.
But would Charlie Brown want to be invited to this party?
I won't be contributing to, or participating in, the not-so-great pumpkin potluck. A bag of rocks sounds more appealing than a bag of botulism.

TEIM
There really is an "I" in TEAM, dear cube dwellers: TEIM. See? There has to be. If you depend on your TEAM in Cube City, especially at the beginning of a project, you are bound to fail.
I've got angst, it's true. I think it's because I'm at the beginning of two new projects right now, and I am marching blindly forward. I'll know what I'm doing once I'm done, but right now is just a total mind-blowing mystery.
On one of my projects, the key people are never around. They have all the knowledge and no time to transfer it. I'm sort of surprised because this is a high-profile project that is dear to our CEO's heart. You'd think they would be slobbering all over the brown-nosing opportunities to make sure things go smoothly.
On the other project, I think most of the people are new to the brand, and the client is simply a moron who can't articulate the business objectives to herself, let alone anyone else. There's not much I, or anyone else, on the team can do about that. So we don't get the information we need until we've burned through a lot of hours and budget. Then we get to start all over again. It's all such a waste of time, effort, and money.
So I am just taking stabs in the dark and making uneducated guesses until I learn from every mistake I make. I think it's like this at the beginning of any new project, but I'm getting a double-whammy reminder of how much I hate this phase of the project lifecycle. Right now, it's all about me.

No 15 Minutes for You
In case you've been feverishly awaiting my assessment of the 15-minute meeting guy, I've got news for you: I'm not important. (Okay, so that's not really news.) The meeting got moved by his personal Calendar Nazi in a New York minute, so I'll be meeting with him next month instead. Or so says his personal Calendar Nazi. Stay tuned for more minute details about this star-studded event in Cube City.

Lunch for Two
I used to work with a guy in Cube City who lied to his wife about lots of weird stuff. There was one weird thing he lied to her about on a daily basis: Lunch.
This guy was in charge of the household bills, so I'm guessing his wife never saw where the money went. The weird thing was that he'd bring his lunch to work every day, throw it in the trash, and then ask various co-workers to go out to lunch. It was a big secret too. Before holiday parties and other company functions where we'd inevitably see his wife, he'd tell us to keep our mouths shut about going out to lunch. He was really concerned about getting caught.
I don't understand the need to hide these things. If it's a matter of the wife packing a lunch that sucks, you open your mouth and say, "You know, this sucks. I won't eat it. Let's go shopping for things I'll eat." Or heck, if it's a matter of wanting to get out of the office for good food and good company, wouldn't it be easier and far less wasteful to just say you want to eat out? Surely, it wasn't about money; the guy spent money on two lunches every day, despite one of them going directly into the trash can.
I don't want to know what it's like to live his double life. A double lunch seems like trouble enough to me.

Making More Conversation
Well, copywriter birth season 2009 has ended in Cube City. The drought will now resume, as we will have no more birthday lunches until next July. Luckily, we stocked up on provisions at our last birthday lunch. Here are a few of the topics we covered:
- Bollywood video dancers
- Southern accents of licensed plumbers
- How time flies when you watch kids during the week
- How time drags when you watch kids during the weekend
- Chicken fried steak (the staple of our birthday lunch conversations)
- The fascinating stupidity of the helium balloon boy hoax
- The depression that comes with filling out time sheets on Monday morning
- The hatred of being shamed by Office Assistant #82 when you submit your time late vs. not at all
- Football (which happens when you go to lunch with boys and/or Texans)

The 15-Minute Meeting
In Cube City, there are some people who are really popular. Then there are some people who are really unpopular. Furthermore, there are people who are really popular...until they're really unpopular.
Later this week, I am supposed to spend 15 minutes with a really popular new hire. He's the replacement for a previously popular hire who became widely unpopular. From what I've heard at the water cooler, he really likes to talk and is crazy...in a good way.
I'll decide for myself and will attempt to report back to you. I just hope that since he's a talker, he's not the boy version of the 30-minute answer girl because I think his popularity will fade pretty quickly if that's the case.

Oooky Dooky
I regrouped with my amusing friend from a different Cube City, and she wants you all to know that French pedicures are oooky because it's as though feet are trying to be too much like fingers. I'm sure we can all get some sleep now.
Oh, and she also wants you to know that wooden Nutcracker figurines -- the ones people use as Christmas decorations -- are oooky because:
- Nothing about them says Christmas
- They have freakish hinge-jaw faces

Same Job, Different Face
I need to process something, cube dwellers, and I hope you can help me.
Last week in Cube City, I received a resume from our recruiter for a position that's not even open, but that's not the part I find difficult to process. The resume's owner was the long-time girlfriend (at least 8 years, maybe longer) of the only person I've ever had to fire -- except that, according to her new last name, she's now married to that guy.
Okaaaay. Who besides me thinks this is odd? May I see a show of hands? What person in their right mind would apply for the same position in the same company where her then-boyfriend-now-husband got fired -- especially when the position isn't even hiring?!

A Pedi for Your Thoughts
I have an amusing friend in a different Cube City with a very specific list of the things that bother her. You don't hear or see the list all at once, as it's in her head. But if you unknowingly bring something up in conversation that happens to be on the list, you are going to hear about it.
The last time we got together, she was telling me how she likes French manicures but thinks French pedicures are oooky. I can't say that I had an opinion one way or the other before she started explaining why French pedicures are wrong. I can't even remember her reasons for why French pedicures are wrong, but she somehow convinced me that they are indeed oooky.
At a meeting the other day in Cube City, I was sitting next to a woman with open-toed shoes who had -- you guessed it -- a French pedicure. I found myself inching up to the conference room table so as not to have to see her feet. I was getting oooked out. It's interesting how a friend's thoughts can influence how you view the feet below you.

Another Year, Another Rain Check
It wouldn't be much of a feat for Mother Nature to throw some rain our way today, considering rain is about all we've seen for the past several weeks. However, it's October 15th, and I really can't seem to think about anything in Cube City on this date except the spooky rain check story.
Happy October 15th, my soggy cube dwellers!

The Bermuda Triangle
The brand planning madness continues in Cube City, and it's making m'head spin.
A very intelligent cube dweller put a few slides together to demonstrate the strategic nature of our tactics and then presented them to a small number of people on the internal brand team.
A few of us met without the very intelligent cube dweller to discuss her slides, particularly a framework that shows how we can integrate the planning of our tactics through a triangle effect. We sat there and struggled through the tactics, trying to decide how to map them into triangles. Were the triangles confusing and unnecessary, or were we just stupid?
We concluded both, so we asked our very intelligent cube dweller to come into the room to play a triangle game with us. We ran through the tactics, and she was able to map everything to triangles and explain it all in a way that made sense. I can't really explain it to you on my own, but it sounded good when she was talking about it.
I'm not really one to think in terms of triangles, or even strategic frameworks, and I found myself briefly depressed to be in a situation where I was mapping ideas into triangles. I felt sort of lost, like I was in the Bermuda Triangle. Reaching common ground is good, but it's even better to find your way home to what you know.

Office Assistant #82
Well, it's that time again in Cube City: Office Assistant #82 is born.
**Sigh**
I haven't really met our 82nd office assistant yet. Somebody walked a random woman through the office the other day and said, "Oh, and that's Scissor Girl," as they breezed by my desk. I'm assuming that was her. I waved and figured she was a new hire whose name and title I'd never know unless we worked together directly on something. That's how it works around here.
All I've seen of her is the all-too-familiar emails about who's out of the office, and they're riddled with errors...just like with Office Assistant #81. But when you consider that #81 is training #82, it's no big surprise.
We'll see how long Office Assistant #82 lasts. Six months appears to be the standing record. Mark your calendar.

Making Conversation
When I go to lunch with the quiet Cube City copywriters, I need to start taking notes. This is an eccentric group, and I find the variety of conversation topics to be very entertaining. At one of our recent lunches, here are a few topics we covered:
- Shoe repair for high-heeled boots
- Chicken fried steak (note: I think we talk about this glorious dish every time we meet)
- The tragedy of failed white fluffy frosting from the Joy of Cooking
- Halloween costumes, including the many variations of Michael Jackson we'll inevitably see this year
- Small-town motels
- The discipline required to wait until your birthday to open gifts you've received in the mail
- Whataburger taquitos (hey, we were hungry)
- Marathon training and when/if beer is a good hydration option
- The learning curve of a French press, or the tweaking required to make coffee that doesn't look like mud
- Origami
- The "overstyled" look of the latest Acura TL
I find it amazing that we cover so many topics since you can feel the tension and effort required to make conversation within this group. It's a victory to reflect on these times and see what happens when we open our mouths and form sentences. Go, team!

New Week's Resolutions, Part Deux
It's the end of the week in Cube City, and I'm here to report on my new week's resolution. I think my track record with resolutions is generally pretty poor, but you can't blame a girl for trying. How did Scissor Girl do?
Monday: I attended a cube dweller's birthday lunch and ordered a chili cheese dog. What the hell was I thinking?! Idiot! To make matters worse, a cube neighbor informed me that she had a very impressive candy jar with just about every kind of candy I could want. She was right, and I wanted/consumed just about every kind. In my defense, I didn't visit the original Candyland, but how was I supposed to know that a shiny new branch of the candy bank would be opening up next door to me? Monday: FAIL.
Tuesday: One minute, I was telling myself to stay away from the new branch of the candy bank. The next minute, I was a loyal customer making continuous withdrawals. Tuesday: EPIC FAIL. (Editor's note: Scissor Girl had to sweat out 21 writeups for a brand planning meeting and actually finished her assignment early due to all the candy coursing through her veins.)
Wednesday: I visited the new branch of the candy bank twice. Yes, twice. That's about 8,000 fewer visits than the previous two days, but I should've just stuck with online banking. Wednesday: PATHETIC BORDERLINE FAIL.
Thursday: I didn't let myself visit the candy bank at all. If I needed to talk to the candy banker, I called or emailed. No drive-thrus, no walk-ins. I busied myself with work and carrot sticks. It just wasn't the same...in so many ways. I finally met my resolution, if only for the day. Thursday: BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
Friday: Today is yet to be determined, but I'm working from my safe place. There's never any food here that isn't healthy, so I'm predicting success unless the cupcake fairy shows up at my door. Note to self about Friday: DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR.

Desperately Seeking Acceptance
I work with two people in Cube City who were hired at about the same time in the same discipline. There's something else they have in common: Both of them mark all of their calendar invitations as "tentative." They don't offer explanations either. They just mark everything with a noncommittal "tentative."
I hate that.
I think this is how they were trained, so they're not going to change. But I find an unexplained "tentative" RSVP very hard to accept. I realize that an invitation to a project meeting is not near as exciting as an invitation to a vodka party, but there are times when I need to know if you're going to show up or not.
I want to invite these two cube dwellers to rethink their training. But since it's really not my place to tell them how to think, I'm tentative in my invitation. I'll just have to accept that this is how things are, but I don't have to like it. I should probably start bringing vodka to my meetings.

Extracted
When you live the reality of Cube City, there's no movie you can better relate to than Office Space. From having a case of the Mondays to bashing the stupid fax machine with a bat, the characters in Office Space really bring cubicle depression to life.
But now the makers of Office Space have released a new film called Extract. Has anyone seen it yet? My significant stapler and I were going to see it over the weekend but just didn't want to go anywhere or do anything, much like Peter in Office Space when he decided he just didn't want to go to work anymore...or pay his bills. But we did watch the trailer for Extract online, and it looked funny...in a depressing sort of way.
If you've seen Extract, please share your review here!

Crickets
October is always tough in Texas. After a long, hot, and dry summer, there's a massive cricket outbreak. Everywhere you go, you see crickets. You hear crickets.
October is always tough in Cube City too. This is the time of year when we start brand planning for next year. We come up with the big ideas we want to pitch to our existing clients to see what they'll go for and how we can convince them to spend their advertising dollars with us. We have brainstorms. We list our ideas. We prioritize our ideas. We categorize our ideas within strategic frameworks. We put presentations together that represent our ideas. Then, of course, we present our ideas.
Lately, I've been involved in brainstorms where nobody is jumping up to present great ideas. I think we're all exhausted and have run out of ideas. It doesn't help that most of our ideas never see the light of day. I feel badly for the people who are leading these meetings. All they're hearing is crickets.
I wish the remedy was as simple as rubbing our legs together until some chirping comes out. I can't say that I've actually tried this, but I think it would work only for males, if at all. I guess I'll just keep thinking in hopes that I can come up with some ideas to put in the hopper.

New Week's Resolutions
Today in Cube City, I resolve to avoid Candyland. The candy man says he won't be refilling his candy dish after this week, as he'll be going to Europe on a fancy vacation. I guess I'll just challenge myself to stay away from the candy so that I can (a) avoid buying bigger pants, and (b) practice coping for the candy man's departure.
In other words, watch out. Scissor Girl could get cranky.
Do you have any resolutions for the week?

10/2
It's going to be a great day in Cube City. Well, okay, I'm not sure about the Cube City part, but hey...at least it's Friday.
But Friday or not, I think 10/2 is a great day overall. I'm not a big fan of Lance Armstrong's enormous ego, but I think it's pretty cool that he celebrates 10/2 as, "The day I was diagnosed with cancer was the day I started to live." I'm reminded that some people have bigger problems.
I like 10/2 for more significant reasons too. It's the day that I met my significant stapler, who has officially put up with me for four years! Every 10/2, we buy a living thing and plant it in our yard -- not a person or animal that we bury alive, for clarification, but rather a plant or tree of some kind. It's just a sentimental way that we like to celebrate our day.
What's a great day to you? Happy 10/2!

Who You Gonna Call?
Welcome to October. In Cube City, Halloween has come early. I park on the dungeon level of the parking garage, and lately I've been attacked by dirty cobwebs dangling from the rafters. It's like Cube City is trying to trap me within a tangled web, and I don't like it at all.
I have to wonder who I need to call to bust these tangled webs. Is there a custodian who occasionally vacuums the rafters of the garage? Are we just supposed to pull these webs down ourselves and hope the spiders have long since abandoned them?
I know that, as a digital agency, we provide web services...but cobwebs were not exactly what I think any of us had in mind.
