Posts Cards From The Edge

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 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.)

    Hmmm... now I'm curious to find out.

  10. ShannonJanuary 20, 2011 at 6:56 AM

    Ok, now I can't stop thinking what a postcard from my hometown would look like... what images would it have?

    Maybe the cooling towers of the nuclear plant? Or perhaps the Daisy Feed & Seed?

    You got Santa to pose for a pic? Awesome.

    I 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.

    you wanna postcard from Portland? It's not that exotic, I know...

  14. Mama BadgerJanuary 20, 2011 at 7:18 AM

    I'm on it. Because Germany and Virginia might be nice, but nothing says "Exotic" like Cleveland, Ohio.

    Sign me up too, although now it looks like you'll have two from Cleveland. :-)

  17. robinJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:28 AM

    I am SO in! I assume the postcard needs to be, um, relatively G-rated since it's going up in your cube, right? ;)

    I 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...

    Well 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.

    Great idea can hardly wait to see the progress pictures of the re-decoration.

    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.

    Oh, 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.

    So, 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...

    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.
