A few days ago, I posted a video that showed a magic trick that Bryan had taught everyone. Well, all of us have been sort of practicing it, off and on, since then. Lately, it’s become this thing where Jane and I have tried to make silly bets as to whether or not one of us can do the trick,…
Prior to the birthday festivities, a few of us met up at Cafe Bolero for dinner. I walked in shortly after two other women, and shortly thereafter realized we were all attending the birthday dinner. I sat down with Nicole and Megan, two DJs at WLUW that also work with Chelsea. We were soon after by Nuanda, Matt, Tracy and…
This particular moment reminded me a great deal of when Justin and Ben played pancake frisbee. I remember laughing so much at that, I ended up swallowing my gum.
So this morning, I hear rumors of multiple Santa Clauses (Santii, if you will), roaming around the place. I don’t pay much mind to it, and head up to work. Once upstairs, I find that several coworkers have wandered off to go check out the “holiday display” that’s revolving around said Kris Kringles. After a while, Chris, Jane, Bryan and…
So a while ago, we heard stories from Jane about her old coworkers – and how they had an Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich eating contest. The terms of the contest involved downing 10 Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwiches in an hour. As legend had it, one of her coworkers took up the challenge… but then called the bet off after sandwich…
Chris, working the Luchador mask. Matt, literally with bells on.
Brought in my big bag of coins today, for yet another fun-filled coin-guessing game. For those unfamiliar with this game, here’s some backstory: 1) The first ever coin-guessing game. 2) Matt’s Bag-O-Money Challenge 3) Justin’s Quarterless Bag of Money 4) Mike’s Water Cooler Jug 5) Matt’s Bog-O-Money Challenge 2 6) A Smiley-Face Full of Coins The story behind my coins?…
Sadly, after work today was a going-away party for Anthony. He’s worked with Emmis for about 10 years, and is leaving his position as webmaster for both Q101 and The Loop. Sad, sad day. We all met up at a place called Uncle Julio’s, and watched the day turn into night over Coronas and margaritas. Chris, Ben, Justin (hidden) and…
Let’s start off with some backstory. A week ago (and ironically, the same day that I lost my balance on the CTA), I decided to tempt fate and ordered myself a pair of Fun Slides. What are they? Well, I mentioned them last November, when they were voted one of the 10 Most Dangerous Toys of 2004. And today? Right…
So this morning, a few of us showed up early to work and managed to get onto the roof of the Merchandise Mart. To give you some perspective as to how high we are, check out this entry. Chris, next to what I think is some big satellite relay. That, or it’s the biggest popcorn machine I’ve ever seen in…
I swear, this is starting to turn into some sort of unofficial sport with us. Mike ended up bringing in a big water cooler jug of change. As a frame of reference, let me refer you to: 1) The first ever coin-guessing game. 2) Matt’s Bag-O-Money Challenge 3) Justin’s Quarterless Bag of Money Chris, using some intricate scientific method to…
