What If ...
what if you worked at a place so ridiculous that you wrote about it all the time?
Oh yeah - then you'd have my blog, and the Bouncer's blog, and five trillion other people's blogs.
It takes a certain amount of creativity to be frustrated by your job, yet be able to write about it in such a way that other people are actually interested.
It takes creativity to a whole different level though, when you INVENT a ridiculous place to work at and then blog about it. That's why I am in awe of this blog. This is hysterical. My grandmas at work are funny, sure. But nothing like this. This blows my mind.
(And makes me want to take my creativity to another level. Quick, where's the nearest creative writing class?)

I feel SO validated! She IS good isn't she?
That being said, your blog is more down to earth and relatable. You're doing just fine. Imagine having to rely on baby and kitten pictures! Even a Drunken Housewife puts out better than me. I mean she writes better, I wouldn't know about ...forget it, just shoot me.
How can you top the "Cone of Death"?
Hi Green,
Actually her blog is true, but she has to write that disclaimer so she doesn't get her ass sued off if anyone ever finds out where she works.
Did you "get" the name of the place? I tried to find Basura, thinking it must be north of Miami, lol.
Basura = garbage in spanish apparently, lol.

Of course, Steve wouldn't steer us wrong would he? I am also now completely hooked on tales of Wide Lawn's crazy residents. I'm still working through the archives - actually stayed late at work yesterday reading about the loose pythons.
LOL My Spanish sucks. I totally didn't know what "basura" meant. I also thought it was a real name. And please don't tell me it's all true - I don't want to acknowledge that there are people whose priorities are that fucked up. In Sparklingland, people don't euthanize "ugly" ducks.
Catherine, I *DO* know that basura means trash in spanish. I think had I heard it out loud it would have clicked in my brain - I didn't catch that.
Either way, it's hysterical. And it's inspired me to want to be more creative.
In response to Silliyak's comment, let's just say that the Sober Husband is a very happy man in some ways (although the Drunken Housewife can be very annoying in a variety of other ways, including talking about herself in the third person all the time).
Suddenly I could just imagine Tipsy Hausfrau's kids arguing over who gets the Cone of Death.
Clearly it's something the Queen of the Universe would have at her disposal, so maybe it reverts to that.
Why am I having these thoughts?
Help me Mr Wizard!
