Pete On Rails

This week was one of the toughest I’ve had to go through at work. Here’s a completely random set of things that have made me smile in the last 24 hours.

Fruity Cheerios. - It’s like eating Froot Loops, but they’re called Cheerios. All of the pleasure with none of the guilt.

Yo Gabba Gabba! - It’s a slightly ridiculous, but amusing kids show. Today, I curled up with my kids on the couch and ate fruity cheerios with them while watching the “Party In My Tummy” episdoe.

Punk Rock HR - Laurie Ruettimann used to work for Big HR, but after becoming unemployed a year ago, she started writing a blog about opting out of the corporate rat race. It contains such gems as “The Punk Rock Employee Handbook” and some refreshing quips like:

- Team building is for suckers.
- Office Speak is for Suckers.
- “You’re not cool and ironic. Trust me. You’re not.”

I think she likes to call people “suckers”. But in any case: read her stuff. Very amusing.
