I'm sad today. I might need an intervention. On a call this morning I made two lame jokes and, AND, actually said the words (god, I'm cringing as I write this, but they say owning up to things is the best thing to do): So we can talk live?!!! I mean, I'm the one who always responds to that with "Can we can talk dead? Are you suggesting a seance?" AND I'M THE ONE WHO SAID IT THIS TIME. HELP ME!!!! It's happening. I'm slowly being brainwashed. Pretty soon I'll be able to talk for fifteen minutes without saying anything. And I'll turn to my coworkers who leave at five and say "Half day Phil?" or "Keeping bankers hours are we?" And then I'll need...a blackberry!

I'm so disgusted with myself, I'm putting 5 dollars in my "Fines for talking like a corporate idiot" jar. Ugh.
