The edge of my department that is. Well, not the very edge. If you were to push over that faux wall there you'd be in another department that does who knows what but gets the sweet ass view of the north shore mountains. Bastards. Whatever, I can stand up and see them. But my lack of a view is not what this is about, what it's about is the great empty space on my left.
Bare right? I have a few pics on the right hand side, but the left is barren except for a couple pictures of the kids and a duck that Liam made for me. So the other day when I was making my hourly pilgrimage to the Keurig machine I noticed that one of my coworkers had a couple of postcards up and
since everything is a competition I thought, hey, I know a lot of people from places that aren't here and wouldn't that be cool if I could
show off decorate my lonely workspace with postcards from them? Would you like a postcard from Vancouver? Send me one from where ever you are and I'll send you one back. Cool, right? It will be like friending each other on FB but with a more personal touch. And it will cost us a stamp. Can you put a price on friendship though? Ok, I guess it will also be the cost of a postcard too. Forget that last question. Anyway, if you're interested, let me know in the comments and I'll email you back if you're set up for that and we can exchange addresses. If you're comments are not linked to your email, my email address is... wait, I have to go look at the preview... ok, it's on the bottom right hand side of the page. Help me to look cooler than my work mates and I'll send you a pretty picture for your fridge.
PS. It's very dark in the picture because it was at the beginning of a 5am to 1pm shift and since I was alone I figured it would be the best time to take a picture since I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to or not.
PPS. Yes, that's still a picture of my kids and Santa on my desktop, what of it?
PPPS. I just noticed that box under my desk and I have no idea what it is.
I can send you some from Germany. Shoot me an email!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the east coast of the US, I'll send you one.
ReplyDeleteOkay, count me in.
ReplyDeleteweaselmomma@yahoo.com
i am in VA...i'll swap with you
ReplyDeleteI'm in!!! email meyour address!!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm in. Also, I collect postcards from all my trips so if you don't fill up your space let me know. I'll send you some. I know! How about I send you one from Blissdom 2011?
ReplyDeleteHave a perfect one for you right now.....It is a card not post card....but it is one that is of my own special design....says so ME! Want it? So email me an address....you do have me in your email don't you! lynette355@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI don't know if my hometown even has their own postcards. (The town I live in is called Soddy Daisy, after all. Not much of a tourist destination.)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... now I'm curious to find out.
On board with that!
ReplyDeleteOk, now I can't stop thinking what a postcard from my hometown would look like... what images would it have?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cooling towers of the nuclear plant? Or perhaps the Daisy Feed & Seed?
Yes please! I'm in. And I already have your p-card picked out.
ReplyDeleteEllie
You got Santa to pose for a pic? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI already have your address. I'll send a postcard when I feel like it. This could take a few years. Sending me naked bunny pics could hurry the process along.
HA! Go find out what's in that box.
ReplyDeleteyou wanna postcard from Portland? It's not that exotic, I know...
I'm on it. Because Germany and Virginia might be nice, but nothing says "Exotic" like Cleveland, Ohio.
ReplyDeleteSign me up too, although now it looks like you'll have two from Cleveland. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm in MO, do you want one from MO? Its like exotic and stuff here...
ReplyDeleteI am SO in! I assume the postcard needs to be, um, relatively G-rated since it's going up in your cube, right? ;)
ReplyDeletePS- I have your email addy.
Okay, I'll send you one from Maine for your wall.
ReplyDeleteI am SO on this!
ReplyDeleteI could send you one from Redneck Central, if you like...but it may take a day or three to get it out since I'm sort of supposed to be birthing a baby sometime between now and Tuesday...
ReplyDeleteShade and Sweetwater,
K
I'm in Northern California, happy to participate!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Send me your addy and I'll send you some St. Louis for your blank canvas.
ReplyDeleteOooh, a mystery box under the desk...sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to add a postcard to the mix!! :)
I'll send you a damn postcard. But then you'll have to explain to all of your coworkers why everyone calls you "The Captain". Gimme your address. Now.
ReplyDeleteWill happily send greetings from Central New York!
ReplyDeleteI cans end you some from beautiful downtown Pottstown, PA and maybe even a few from the surrounding area!
ReplyDeleteWell you know I am not sending you a card from Coquitlam -- doubt if that even exists. I had the coolest board in my old office full of postcards when the instructors were travelling - I think we lost it in the flood. Now I am collecting magnets and putting them on my filing cabinet.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea can hardly wait to see the progress pictures of the re-decoration.
You know you want a postcard from smack in the middle of the US! And flat...you guessed it Kansas! Plus I love getting mail!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could meet halfway and do a public exchange.
ReplyDeleteUh...you really want one from Saskatchewan? Sure, I guesss?
ReplyDeleteOh, hell, Cap'n, I feel like I HAVE to! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteEmail me... East Coast of New England :) jmlcoppola@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteDon't look in the box. It never ends well, those mystery containers under the desk. I still shudder...that box, my new desk...the bones...
ReplyDeleteHey, mon, I'd dig that! I'll need a reminder, though, so don't forget to email me. Word!
I got DC covered for ya. Just email me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteVegas, baby! (Although that exclamation point is a little deceiving seeing as how I loathe this place with my very soul.) Anyway, I'm in.
ReplyDeletejibssa@gmail.com
P.S. I'm also a world-class procrastinator so it's probably best if you expect mine to show up last.
I'm in BUT... like Shannon, not sure if our little town has its own cards so I'll pick up something cool from a nearby area of eastern NC. Send me your email Captain!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for that. I can send one from DC, maybe from Baltimore or Annapolis too.
ReplyDeletehave fun..
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you around after one year of off and on...
Thanks for the visit to my blog.
cheers.
you rock.
Do you want one that says "Los Angeles" or would it impress your co-workers more if it said "Hollywood". I can fix you up with either. Or both.
ReplyDeleteLook at all the love here- you are going to be inundated with post cards. Pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteLuv the idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
P.S.
CONGRATS! on winning THE EVERYDAY GODDESS AWARD !
I'll send you a lovely postcard from Maine if you need one! My email address is on my profile.
ReplyDeleteCool Beans! I'm in! My email address is on my profile page. The hubs is working in Alaska for the next few months, so we'll send you one from Texas and Alaska! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love it. Send me an e-mail (you should be able to reply to this comment). If not - my e-mail is on my site. Do you want a postcard from VA where I now live or from DC where I grew up? I'm not sure where I'd even get a VA post card... Must investigate...
ReplyDeleteTexas...REPRESENT! I will be more than happy to get you the cheesiest post card I can find. Send me the addy and I'm on it!
ReplyDeleteTexas. You know you want one from here, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI have thousands of photos.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, you don't want me to delve into that box.
You're going to have more postcards than you can display! I'll happily send you one from Utah, and you don't even have to do a THING in return. I got this one...
ReplyDeletePS: What size t-shirt do you wear? Seriously.
ReplyDeleteohh man! I used collect post cards and have been carting a lot of them along with others my mom had bought me...I'm in! Hit me up with the address and I'll start picking out post cards now!!
ReplyDeleteAdd me, I have some cool old postcards from an auction find....
ReplyDeleteI'm in- send me your address and I'll reciprocate
ReplyDeleteCool idea! Looks like you've already got Southern California covered, but if you want another, let me know.
ReplyDeletebellasinclairdoodler@yahoo.com
Cool... I'm in! Email me and we can exchange addresses and postcards. What fun!! :)
ReplyDeleteoceanlover821@gmail.com
Nothing says cool like a nice phallic postcard of the Eiffel Tower! We're Paris cool baby....en roule comme ca! ;) I'm in.
ReplyDeleteI don't see anyone from Chicago to represent! :) Count me in. dmwrightbooks@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI'm in. I love competition.
ReplyDeleteSure will. (allow time for procrastination please....it happens without me knowing I'm procrastinating)
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to help decorate (aka help you win)! Do you like Lighthouses, beaches, seals and/or boats?
ReplyDeleteDo I need to send you another zombie? :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is going to get really expensive for you. But worth it, yeah. Hey you know you could probably get enough $$ for an iPad if you could get all of your followers to tape a dollar bill to the post card.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like this idea. I have a glass vase on the fireplace mantel and I've been thinking of putting all my postcards (my one vice on vacation, I always buy them and never actually send them) in it.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'll send you a postcard. I don't think I still have your address though. Marking it Deliver to Captain Dumbass in Canada probably won't work will it?
Hmmm...
Dude - Hit me up!
ReplyDeleteDenver's not that glamorous, but I'm getting on a plane to somewhere even less glamorous next week and then somewhere you can't drink the water the next week!
Good timing!
I told my husband that I'm going to send a blog to Vancouver. He said "It's a blog thing?" I said "Yep, for his wall in his cubicle" He said "You bloggers have a weird thing." Hehe. So I'll send one out from Bonny Kalamazoo. Honestly though, we aren't that Bonny, especially at the end of January. It IS Michigan after all. Don't worry though, the postcards that are from here show green grass and parks and nice summery things like that.

I meant send a postcard. Oops. Sorry, distracted typing (can't ever imagine why with all the kids running around here all the time).
ReplyDeleteI'll send one
