Woot Woot! We have another International Office Tour today folks!
My girl Salt is taking us around her place today, and it’s not too be missed. Not only because I dig her to bits, but because there’s a hot dog costume and Christmas lights involved. How many of you can say that about YOUR office?!
Be sure to stop by and check it out -- here.
I’ve also had a few more volunteers come forward with promises of showing of their stuff, but I’m always looking for more. Be sure to let me know if you’re going to join in so I can link to you, Twitter your tour and add it to my sidebar. And you get to use the cool and newly created button. I’m all about giving back, people. Please remember that next time you’re having a giveaway.
In other news, I’m urging you to drop over to see Amanda at It’s Blogworthy. This whole office tour thing was originally her idea. I loved it so much I decided to do one of my own and things have kinda snowballed from there. So I’m totally giving the credit to Amanda for starting it off and am hoping she’s not all bitter with me. AND she recently revealed some very exciting news that deserves some congratulations.
I’m uber enjoying the tours! Don’t you feel like you know the blogger a little better after you see their tour? That you can totally picture her sitting at that desk blogging? That they become more like a real person? I love that!
Final items – I’m still working on both the bunk bed refund AND the laptop purchase. I know – it’s ridiculous. But this just might be the weekend both of those get settled, which would be good because my OCD is in overdrive on both. I’m loosing sleep, lacking in productivity at work and getting headaches. And most importantly, I’ve lost all ability to be witty in both posts and comments – as this particular post will attest to. So once those two items are cleared off the old noggin, I should be back to my old self. I currently feel like a man who can’t multi-task.
And now I’ll leave you with this little video gem. Which is super funny to me because I married into a very Scottish family (that I love dearly – don’t get me wrong). Willie and I have been randomly shouting out “eee-leven!” to each other all week -- just for fun.
Cheers my lovelies!

Ok. I totally read that you dig Salt’s bits. And was all, Ohhh, she swings both ways. And then I re-read and saw that you dig her TO bits.
Right. Obvs, I haven’t finished my first cup of coffee yet.
And my office tour would be lame, it would really turn into a home tour, since I sit at my kitchen table with my laptop. With Maury Povich determining paternity in the background. Loudly.

Ay, that video makes me LOL – really. I’d watch it again but it would bring on a coughing attack the likes of which you’ve never heard. Off to read the new office tour…..

I think it was a show in the UK. But I found a bunch of others by these guys on You Tube. So far this is my fav!

Hahaha I love the video! I come from a Scottish family too.
I’m so glad you dig my bits (and my virtual tour!) That was so much fun to do! I think everyone reading this right now needs to bust out the camera and take a picture or twelve of their workspaces.

Yes – I totally agree!

I may have to clean my office first and then participate since I spend most of my waking hours in this office.

Yes – you must do one! Mess and all. I promise I won’t judge. Much.

I love this idea! I commented on Salt’s page that my office is pretty blah right now. I have only been in my current job for about 7 months. I was thinking about doing one now and then one when I actually decide to decorate it! I should sneak in and post pics of my co-workers office because it looks like an apartment!

I forgot to do mine yesterday morning. You might have noticed that. Did you notice that?
In my defense, my brain hasn’t been functioning right lately.. and it has nothing to do with laptops or bunk bed refunds. I don’t know what it is. I think I’m getting senile.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:26 pm
I’m seriously going to do an office tour for you. Is there a deadline?

Yay! For you Mimi, I would extend the deadline. If I had one. Which I don’t. Should I?
April 24th, 2010 at 8:46 am
You win!

Since you are all about giving back, I think you should buy me a new laptop too. No? It was worth a shot.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:42 am
Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! I can totally appreciate this video because my sister was born in Belgium but her “mum” is 100% Scottish. And then my sister turned around and married a Scottish guy from Glasgow. They lived there for like 5 years so yeah…this is freaking hysterical!
Thanks for guiding me over to Amanda’s. I’m making my way down my blog roll this morning and had no idea! That’s very exciting for her!! And I’m going to do an office shot when I get moved. I would do one now, but it will just change in 3 weeks. But I def want in on the fun!
Good luck with the laptop search. I know it’s maddening. Been there, done that, have the battle scars to prove it.

Coming out of hiding (aka the craziest two weeks of life evah) to say that you are obviously a trendsetter, in a big way. Like in an invention-of-the-wheel or sliced-bread big way. Collect royalties! From someone! No, I’m not sure who! There has to be someone! Somewhere!

I agree! Although I would share them with Amanda at It’s Blogworthy because she started this whole crazy ball rolling.
