bUGLYbLOG’s free advice for the professional man..

  • My last job was downtown. One night after work one of my coworkers, lets call him Mark (completely made up of course), decided to hit the bar down the street before heading home for the night. After probably a few more drinks than he originally planned for, Mark was back at the office alone, and hungry. To make a long story short, he found a turkey sandwich in the company frig and ate it. It wasn’t his sandwich. Being a little drunk, he thought it would be funny to construct a letter from a fictional character called the “sandwich fairy” and place it in the empty sandwich bag. When I arrived the next morning, unaware of Mark’s actions from the previous night, crap had already started to hit the fan. The owner of the sandwich, a lady in her mid forties, was nearly in tears as she reported the incident to the branch manager. Apparently her husband had made the sandwich for her as an expression of his love. She, just as everyone else in the branch, knew that Mark had done it. The branch manager, who also knew without question that Mark had done it, confronted him and asked if he had eaten the sandwich. Mark said no. He never caved. Never even floundered for a moment. I think he even tried to appear appalled with the accusation. This was the least perfect crime ever. A couple days later I asked him about the incident. He mentioned that it was a pretty good sandwich. It’s never a good idea to try and cover up eating a co-workers sandwich by leaving a letter in empty bag signed by the sandwich fairy. It is, however, a good idea to deny you ate it even when everyone in the office knows that you did.

bUGLYbLOG recommended tunes for the week…

  • Meds by Placebo - I picked up the Meds CD this week from my local Best Buy. I got the version with the three bonus tracks, which also happened to be cheaper than the one without the bonus tracks. This is one of those CD’s that you can play beginning to end and be satisfied. I have some favorites, like “Because I Want You“, “Infra-red“, and “Meds“, but the whole album is great. Even the bonus track “Running Up That Hill” is great.

bUGLYbLOG sports desk update…

  • How bout the Vols! We are 16-0 at home for the first time since 1975-76, we have a player of the year candidate in Chris Lofton, we are essentially guaranteed a trip to the big dance, and we have only one senior. Aren’t we a football school?
  • There are some boxers that may have used some steroids. Get outta here…
  • I still have four years of eligibility left - let the bidding begin.
