It’s Random Crap From My Hard Drive, bitches!

Today, I’m posting just one pic and telling a little story.

Now, for some reason my current job has just a handful of people who are not happy unless they are making someone else’s life miserable through insults, lying, backstabbing, and throwing unnecessary work my way just to prove they can. Despite the fact that everyone else there are delightful and awesome, I tend to find myself letting my day be ruined by the handful of hateful people.

One particularly bad day, with relationship drama from “that one guy” adding to my mood, I was feeling particularly down and kicked. I saw my friend E in the mail room and told her about my day. “I just wish a super hero would come and save me. Or at the very least, I wish I had something cute and comforting to hug,” I said. I saw a roll of paper towels on the counter. “Like this!” And I was hugging the roll of paper towels. “You’ll save me, won’t you Captain Absorbency?” And we both laughed! I laughed at my joke, and E probably laughed at my desperation.

The next day E, who is our admin, had a crack in her usually calm demeanor. She was furious about the mess that “someone” keeps making in the bathroom. For an office of nurses, there is more than one anonymous employee who sure doesn’t know about biohazardous waste. E often fields complaints of “someone shit all over the toilet again” and “there is pee everywhere in stall 3″. We had a rash of such events and E was about ready to post some signs in the bathroom that she’d surely get in trouble for.

So I made this for her and brought it in the next day. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… CAPTAIN ABSORBENCY!

You can’t see the back, but he had a red velvet cape too.

I made more Captain Absorbency signs so E could mix and match

Captain Absorbency sez…
“E is out to lunch”

“Is it hugs time now please?”

“Happy Halloween”

“I should have gone to vet school”

E was never able to display Captain Absorbency. Someone in our office would surely file a complaint, stating that her entire family was killed by a roll of paper towels and viewing such a display would cause emotional trauma.

But Captain Absorbency lives on, in E’s cabinet. Waiting to spring into action when needed.
