Ode to Bookclub


I email throughout the work day with 3 friends from college, Hammy (Melissa), George (Jordan) and Marty (Jennifer). Together we call ourselves Bookclub, although we have yet to read a single book at the same time or discuss it.
Bookclub is the reason that my day goes by quickly when the news is slow.
We share stories from our prior nights and moments of being annoyed with coworkers, all of whom are given an alias since we are writing on company computers. We work with people called Bipolar Oprah, Newsroom Hag, Cougs, Food Thief, and my favorite stories include a woman that Marty works with, Tits Mcgee.

Not only do we share stories, we offer helpful advice through amazing humor.
Yesterdays example is one of the Bookclub highlights. I asked Bookclub if they knew how to style your hair with ‘wings’ – that strange style of the past (yes, I was thinking of doing it one night to impress/scare my friends). Marty responded with this picture. (Jenn, I had no idea that you thought that I was so attractive!)
