another day in cube farm paradise...

I work for a, to remain nameless, media giant. I create pretty pictures and fanny about with the websites for my career. I love it. However, for those of you not in the media you should know a few things:

1. Everyone in media has rabid A.D.D. - you have too, or you don't survive, if you don't, we will chew you up, eat you for breakfast and then realizing the fat content we will vomit you back up.
2. We THRIVE on intensity, we eat intensity for a snack and follow it up with drama for lunch. You see, no one else will take us, so we flock to media, like the salmon of capistrano. We are a huge dysfunctional family and we love it.
3. It is loud. ALL. THE. TIME.
4. We all communicate through IM, interoffice, even if the person you are communicating with is in the cubbie next to you, because we are all too amped up from caffeine to pick up the phone, and it obviously takes too much time to talk in person, or email... none of these options are fast enough, therefore we IM.

Below is an example of an IM conversation I had with the I.T. guy one morning earlier this week on a day where it seemed everyone in this building had three Venti double shots by 10a and I was trying to drown out the ride on the crazy train with my iPod....

Rebekah says:
I'm listening to Bohemian Rhapsody again. Time for full butt rock.

I.T. GUY says:
i need to see this!!

Rebekah says:
Well i just put it back to play it again... so you just might be able to if you hurry, it's only 76 minutes long and you are on the other side of the cube farm! Tell me how it's possible to listen to this song and not sing as loud as possible.

Rebekah says:
Time to go FULL RETARD!

I.T. GUY says:
No, NO BEKA!!! Never go Full RETARD

Rebekah says:
BUT I CAN'T HELP IT. IT'S freaking QUEEN!!!!!

Rebekah says:
QUEENNNNNN!!!
