Bruce Springsteen had one of the top 10 concerts this past year – grossing over 22 million. The Springsteen & E. Street Band’s Working on a Dream tour included a historic five-concert stretch at Giants Stadium and I’m not sure why I wasn’t invited. It could be that word got out about how I (mis)behaved at a recent Montgomery Gentry and Trace Adkins show.

I am living proof that you don’t have to drink alcohol to act a fool. Coffee and Diet Dr. Pepper will get the job done.

The Bruce Springsteen poster above is for the office that wants to rock it out.  Sign me right up!

A New Spin on Laziness

Laziness


Laziness Poster

As a total cat person, I can’t get enough of cat pictures, cat posters, cat videos, cat cats. Simply put, my cats slap a big old smile on every single day of my life. Even the rottenest day is a great day when they’re around.

Apparently, given the success of cat blogs, lolcats, cat books, and cat posters, I’m definitely not alone.

The art print above promises to bring fun to any room – even if said room is one in which work is done. The caption says: Laziness – It means you are just more efficient with your time and how you spend your time and energy.

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Friday October 15,2009) is National Boss Day in the USA. So, feel perfectly free to kiss up and seal your fate as the “bestest” employee.

A cup of Starbucks coffee with a gift certificate oughta do it proper.

At the end of last season, if someone had told me the Broncos would be 5-0 at this point, I’d have thrown something cold on them and screamed “snap out of it!”  It may or may not have included some colorful language.

Yet, here we are.  Fresh on the heels of beating the mighty Patriots, we find our Broncos undefeated.  Man this feels good! To celebrate, I rounded up some freaking sweet Denver Bronco merch.  If for some reason your team isn’t the Denver Broncos, click through and find your own team.  I’m not mad at you.

You could do some serious Christmas shopping with all this Denver Broncos merch. Um.. yeah… so, e-mail me for my address.

If you work out of your car, or travel a great deal to and from work, you’re no stranger to the evil’s of shuffled papers and sliding gadgets.  Click the following link to check out a great organization product for those who have to take their office on the road.

THE DESKTOP MOODOMETER

If you love to surround yourself, as I do, with out-of-the-ordinary and fun things, I have a website to tell you about that you’ll flip for.

The site is called re:thinkuseDESIGN. You can tell by the name, alone, that these cats strut to a different beat. I can’t even tell you how much I love that… we crazy cats have to stick together.

The office supply lovely at that top of the post is the THE DESKTOP MOODOMETER and I love its attitude.

From the Website:
Change your mood as often as you want with moodie THE DESKTOP MOODOMETER

Directions:
1. Open the mini CD case.
2. Read through the 15 hilarious cards
3. Select your mood
4. LET IT BE KNOWN.

Display: Open the CD case as far as it will go to create your very own DESKTOP MOODOMETER.

The cards measure 3.5″ x 3.75″. All 16 cards shown are included along with the mini CD/Display case.

Hmmm, I’ve been subscribing to philosophies #3 and #4 all my life. Select your mood. Let it be known.

Visit the page for THE DESKTOP MOODOMETER to see the other “moods.” Hilarious stuff!

Then look around the site – there are too many things to even go into. I was like my middle daughter in a candy store, “I want that…. I want that… I need that… I want that… Why is that not mine?….

Start Your Engine With This Alarm Clock

by Joi on September 24, 2009

The Start Your Engines Alarm Clock.

Okay, this guy qualifies for “most unusual.”   Check out this fun little alarm clock. It’s the The Start Your Engines Alarm Clock and I’m pretty sure that people who normally sleep through alarm clocks have met their match.

The Start Your Engines alarm clock awakens you with the sound of a high-powered V8 engine increasing its revolutions per minute as it cycles through four gears to top speed. Sounds like me at a stop light.  Such a sweet rush comes from being first out of the gate.

A tachometer surrounding the digital time window displays a needle that moves as the rpm increase to its redline of 6 000 rpm. The engine sound will grow in pitch and intensity until you press the snooze button.   Press… slam… tomato…tomatoe….

A headlight button allows you to illuminate the time and tachometer display for easy viewing at night;  backlight turns off after 10 seconds. Also includes an AM/FM radio.

This alarm clock is perfect for waking up in time for the office. Or (depending upon your work ethic) perfect for waking up in time to go home. Again, tomato… tomatoe.

Oh Nuts! Oh, Superior Nuts!

Colossal Pistachios

The vision of yumminess above is the “Colossal Pistachios 20oz Decanter” from Superior Nuts. This particular decanter is just a little over $20, making it not only a great Christmas gift for co-workers and/or associates, but a great little, “To me, From me” gift as well.

From the Web Site:

Beautiful decanter filled with Colossal Pistachios. These Colossal Pistachios are Huge. Only the largest are chosen, then roasted in small batches and lightly salted to bring out their best flavor. The best Snacking imaginable!”

Superior Nuts has every single kind of nut you can think of and they really outdo themselves on finding ways to present them – glass jars, decanters, baskets, tin cans, etc. My personal favorite nut is the Cashew and the things they do with it makes my head swim. The “Giant Cashews (2.5 Pound Glass Jar)” (pictured below) kind of makes your mouth water, doesn’t it?  Click through to see even more mouth-watering deliciousness.
