ABOUT GNAW THE PAW...

Lulu Fox and Frida Bear are currently trapped in office buildings. One of each of their paws is chained to a desk because they need to pay their rent, utilities, and credit card debt. They will gnaw the paw off, if they have to, to free themselves. Being paw-less is better than living a life of indentured servitude.

Before they can gnaw the paw off, however, they need to figure out a way to make a living without the desk. They want to become free animals prancing in the forest!

Their real names and locations are undisclosed for the protection of their jobs. They still need to pay their bills. When they start making a living off this blog and their other talents - which go way beyond licking and stamping envelopes, printing out files, and regurgitating what’s in their bosses’ brains - they will share their true identities.

Please stay tuned…

Poor Walter the Worker Bee

In the process of performing one of the many spirit-crushing tasks throughout my day – unpacking the new shipment of (joy of all joys!) Office Supplies -I happened upon this little note…



So let’s see, not only does poor Walter have to pack office supplies as his main form of income, he also has some jackass named Ron hovering over him like he’s a 3 year old, making sure he packs the box to “company standards.” But it doesn’t end there! He then has to await the possible wrath of the person on the receiving end of that box who’s just as eager as Ron to rat out poor Walter if he makes even a minor mistake.

What if Ron respected Walter enough to know that Walter just wants to do a good job, earn a paycheck, go home, and watch sitcoms? What if Walter was trusted to do his job as he’s been told? Wouldn’t that make Walter a somewhat happy Worker Bee? Instead, Walter most likely dreads getting up in the morning only to look forward to another joyless and seemingly endless day being ruled over by Ron.

I bet Ron doesn’t care if Walter is happy at work or not. His only concern is if Walter’s packed the correct amount of post-it notes.

Maybe we should all do Walter a favor and send an e-mail to Ron demanding he give Walter a raise and 4 weeks vacation just for coming into work everyday and putting up with this crap.




Digg!
