bring in the office

I assume most people know that I an odd person. I love offices. I've always thought they were a fascinating place. I wonder what it happening in all these different offices. This intrigue is almost as large as my love of spaceships. I've always enjoyed offices, but in recent years I've found new ways to love them. The first would be the show The Office. I love this show. I love watching crazy people working in an office. Yet, I feel this show is more real than any other TV show. The main reason is the fact that it all takes place in an office. You really never have time to hang out with your friends like in all the other shows on TV. Like Friends, they just meet in the middle of the day to hang out all the time. That's so not real. Okay the office is not real either, but it builds on stereotypes that you would find in an office environment.

The second fetish I have with offices is my comic, Ed the business Warrior. I love that comic. I've been working on it for five years now. It hasn't been a straight everyday or even every months in the past. Ed is a character I keep coming back too. He's a big guy smashing computers. I know it's very Office Space with how they destroy the printer, but I've developed it so much further than that. I've started to build new characters for Ed to interact with. The comic is growing to be more than just Ed smashing things to a developed character.

The last thing that I'm embracing for my office nerd is the game Office Hero on my ipod touch. It's so fun. You just go around doing boring tasks to build up your character so they can do awesomer tasks. It's easily one of my new favorite games. It's just like every other flash game, but this one is awesome because it's in an office.

I'm an office nerd. I'm so an office nerd that I'm even trying to get a job in an office as an administrative assistant. Than I can answer phones and file papers all day. It'll be like I've got a real job, well it will be. I might even wear a tie to work everyday! I know my tie collection finally going to good use. I can't wait.

webcomic

I’ve decide it is time for me to make an official webcomic. I’m thinking that I will modify my Ed the Business warrior comic to do this. I just don’t know how much people like or dislike Ed comic. I’ve put many up on flickr and I’ve been putting new color copies of Ed comics on my blog. The question is whether I should do it or not. I’m planning on submitting them to Zuda comics which is part of DC comics. They use competitions to see which webcomics they plan to pick up. The problem with that is I’ve looked at who wins and who hasn’t over the last couple of years. The types that win are not the type of comics I draw or read. They do have the type of comics that draw in the competition, but they never come in first. The closest one I’ve seen is second and that was by Wes Molebash and he does amazing webcomics. I’ve been reading his different comics he rights for years now. If he can’t win with an awesome cat comic, how am I going to win with a silly business comic? Although my Ed comic has been featured on other people’s blogs before. It’s been about four since that happened, but I might be able to capture my raw Ed power again or I might just be crazy. Okay so I’m asking all of you if you think that I have the talent to do this competition. I would need your support and willingness to actually go to www.zuda.com and make a profile so you can vote for my comic. If I win, I could do this as a part time job, which would be the most amazing thing ever. So let me know.

Here’s a couple ED comics to view:

filing

I started training my replacement for Boise State Budget office assistant. The job is not as exciting as you would think, or maybe you don’t think it’s exciting. How would I know? I just file lots of different reports for the Budget office. I really don’t feel like there is a lot to show someone. I have three more days of training before I’m done working there and my replacement will be there every day I am there. I don’t dislike my replacement. I had to leave at some point and with graduation this is the time. I can’t have a work study job when I’m not in school. The only problem with my job is it not exciting. I enjoy what I do there. I get to work with lots of paper and sort them in many different ways. It can be boring, I won’t lie about that. There are days where I go in and I don’t remember what I did because I was on autopilot the entire time. I still enjoyed the job, but it’s not an exciting one. Well, if filing is boring, try watching someone file for four hours. I was instructed by my boss that I was to show my replacement how to do things and then have her do it. So for four hours I watched her file. I could have jumped out the window it was so boring. We work on the third floor, so it would do some damage. I only have three more days of watching her file to go. I’m not sure if I’m happy to have a job for three more days or to just not get out of bed. I know I will go in. I need the money and I can’t turn up such an easy resource for money. I just wish it wasn’t watching someone file. Could there be a more boring event? I’m sure there is, but I don’t really want to find out. I never want to find out.

Why do people have to be so hurtful? Swords are an important part of any business attire. Poor Ed.
