Desktop Backgrounds

I think we can all agree that desktop backgrounds on work computers are a very important indicator of who you are as a person.  There are few opportunities to express yourself as an individual in a corporate environment so its important to take your desktop background seriously.  Just remember these 5 tips when it comes time to picking your background identity!

1. Is it "HR appropriate?" (this is only for those who have the misfortune of having to connect their comps to projectors)
2. Keep the seasonal pics in season! (Only exception is for those who are experiencing seasonal depression, nothin wrong w/ a January palm tree.)
3. Blue screen backgrounds, aka no backgrounds, are for squares. (seriously, this is the biggest do gooder thing i've ever seen and when I have my own business it will be grounds for dismissal.)
4. If there are people in it, you cant be one of them (Numbers dont lie on this one.  9 out of 10 screens that contain the owner in the background are Jabronis)
5. Brown Nose Material is for the birds.  (Lets be honest, no one has ever been promoted for the article they chose to save as their desktop background.)

Now I realize I wouldnt be much of a blogger if I didnt show you whats gracing the background of my screens, so here ya go toots!

Goats

My boss is sitting at the cubicle next to mine. He suggested watching "Goats Yelling Like People" on YouTube. We then spent 10 minutes watching videos about goats.

The best one? This one:

Master Chef Meesh

I've been low on inspiration and posts this week because work is currently sucking my soul right out of me.

So with that said I'm gonna go ahead and brag about how I was a master chef over the weekend (with some a lot of guidance from the beau) because my brain hurts too much to think of anything more clever to write.

And we didn't make just any lame chicken dinner. No no kids. We made OSTRICH wellington with a pâté appetizer and apple puff pastry treats for dessert. Boom! That just happened.

Looks like it may be time for Meesh to make a career move. Culinary school can't be that hard, right?

Regret

This came from a one dollar bag of "hard cider" that was pawned off to me once everyone else decided it was too disgusting.

Pretty much sums up my day and now all I'm filled with is regret.

I said good day.

Cardi Style

"It doesnt matter if you win or lose, all that matters is how good you look." -David Lee Roth

Fine words really, and thanks to a slow work week I've taken them to heart. 
You see its only Wednesday and I can not wait for the weekend.  I was in a bummer of a mood the last two work days and decided I needed to shake things up.

Cue the cardigan. 

This sucker ranks atop the leisure wear charts.  Carlton Banks would gladly trade his social status for an afternoon in this button up beauty.  Its basically an overdose of preppy swag.  I havent been able to stop listening to my "Gym" playlist.  I'm just too jacked up to be in the presense of such a fine whale bone print.
Whats that you say?  Brother Ali's "Self Taught" isnt work appropriate tunage?  "Fuck you this shit is amazing"

Things that happened to me today:

 

• A man with obvious drug problems fell in love with me on the street and made it known to the world.
 
• I have proved that bright pink flats are a great conversation starter while you are in the elevator. I am pretty sure that people think you are much more personable when you are wearing a pair.
 
• I decided to get a weave. I talked to a co-worker and she suggested this one: http://www.esthersonline.com/retailer/articles/ret_articles.asp?storeID=V75NDS05JGPQ8LNAWRS1S2QWV759DGG9&MenuID=1450
 
• I ate an entire container of hummus.

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

It's recently come to light at Club Belmont that I lean on music when I'm down and out.

Though some were surprised to hear that my "angry with the world" musical choice was my Eminem Pandora station instead of perhaps the Tay Swift jams most might expect from 5'2" Meeshy.

I'm just saying, don't knock it till you try it. Who wants to hear all those love songs on the radio when you just want to express your inner slim shady? "Dr. Dre said...nothing you idiots! Dr. Dre's dead he's locked in my basement!"

That being said, I think people underestimate my appreciation for rap. While I'm not currently leaning on it to express my feelings I do have a recent obsession with Macklemore. If you haven't heard his Thrift Shop song yet then we're not friends...sorry.

Am I a week away from being able to recite the whole rap along with my boy Macklemore? Maybe.

Am I embarassed? Hellz no. I have mad skillz yo. (That's how you know I have street cred)

Soooo you might want to get in on this and if you learn the rap too I may let you be in my next music video.
