Doo Da Doodle
Just to be perfectly clear, my job is not all free lunches and Freecell games. Sometimes I actually have to work. Take for example our weekly conference calls which are attended by both my entire team and our largest telecommunications client. A large percentage of my work time [aside from reading blogs] involves keeping track of multiple cellular tower sites on a billion-page spreadsheet. [Believe me, that is more than enough detail.] Imagine if you will: multiple people talking over one another, much repetition, the random funny remark, copious note-taking by all concerned, an occasional outbreak of interpretive dance, and a fair bit of fancy doodling on the part of Yours Truly . . .
quite the highlight of anybody’s week
¤
Random remarks lead to random brain sparks on my part
¤
There are moments when one of my coworkers isn’t quite sure as to my opinion on something, so I try to clarify by use of sophisticated cartoonery
¤
Now and then I miss something pertinent and must look to somebody else’s notes for reference, for example:
¤
Sometimes I wish I did not have to be at work
¤
At other times I wish I had remembered
to bring a beverage to slake my thirst
¤
During lulls in the flow of conversation, I take advantage of not having to pay attention by sketching out a few modelling ideas for future photo shoots
¤
When a coworker pointed out that I was drawing nudes, I simply responded that I hadn’t yet drawn on the clothing
¤
Don’t hate me because I am so very talented in so many ways
¤
At this intense level of mad skillz, I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to hear from a national art gallery some time in the very near future
¤
Like most struggling and financially-challenged artists, I, too, am oftentimes preoccupied by hunger
¤
No, really, that is not calligraphy, it is my handwriting. Please try not to notice that I cannot write in cursive.
¤
Hopefully, my suggestion of bringing in blankies and pillows will soon be in effect
¤
Although, I doubt my idea regarding team tattoos will make it through the firm’s Tattoo Committee
¤
Unfortunately, not every deal works out as intended

I usually stick to drawing flowers. And sometimes packs of cigarettes with lighters, adult beverages, and random squigglies. Unfortunately, our meeting table makes it so that sitting extra-close to your fellow peons and passing notes would be obvious. Meetings suck. Especially when there are lawyers involved.

I no longer have the need to doodle as my children’s drawings are doodle enough for me. Love your mad skillz though.

Heh. All my work drawings involve me bringing bodily harm to one of my co-workers, and then everyone in the office congratulating me and giving me a big raise and a promotion. I especially like the “hangman” drawing - complete with boobs AND heels.
Hoar. ;-)
