Weird Out the People At Work

You know, because sometimes I think about these things.

I have to admit that I work in a place full of artists, people with tattoos, non-traditional lifestyles and empathetic souls. So being somewhat nontraditional or punk is … not that impressive or unusual. So what’s left? I guess making people worry a little about you.

1. Noose Earrings. In four colors!

2. Magnum Force Earrings. Yes, these are made from .357 magnum shells. Awesome.

3. Underwear Earrings. Made of polymer clay. I guess all you can hope for with these is that you can find a pair of actual underwear that matches. I don’t wanna know how anyone would know that your earrings and underwear matches.

4. Spock Necklace. OK, I know I’d get funny looks for this, but probably more of the “yeah, I knew she was a nerd, but this is ridiculous” sort. It’s a good picture though, what with Spock smiling :)

5. Buy My Love. I’d really like to see the double-take on this one. Would they get it? What would they wonder about my life?

6. Not SO, weird, really. I could definitely be convinced that this Egg Pillow would be good in my ofice. Office chairs, of course, are not that comfy. This, on the other hand, is crinkly, as it’s stuffed with garbage sacks. Save the planet!

7. I need art on my office wall at the moment. Perhaps I should use this print - and of course, be sure to label it clearly with its name, Bad Day at Work.Bad Day at Work

8. I’m truly confused by some of the things that I see on Etsy, like this Dead Rat. But boy wouldn’t it get some serious reactions if it were one of your desk toys?? There’s a dead rat pin, too.

And I’m done.

Those are great! Noose earrings. Journalist-types also have sick senses of humor, so people at my workplace would appreciate them.

The necklace I just got, the Glinda-Wicked Witch one, I think falls into this category. Or at least it does when wearing the Wicked Witch side. :)

The Spock pendant is a must have! I can see it now - I’m wearing a lovely pendant around my neck and then the little old lady in line in front of me at HEB sweetly asks, “Is that your beau?”.
