Over the weekend I decided to sit down and watch the highly acclaimed Season 1 of "The Bear" which has received accolades left and right. Much of the setting takes place in a restaurant and highlights the dysfunction of the workplace, so it's fitting to talk about here. About 10 minutes into the pilot episode, … Continue reading ‘The Bear’ by FX: Overhyped or Underwhelming? Unfrazzled Analyst
As Seen in the Breakroom #1
Although I mostly WFH these days, and my office doesn't have much of a breakroom to speak of anymore, I've collected photos over the years of items I've found in office break rooms or other public spaces doubling as a break room.

Workstation Error, Concluded
In my previous post, I outlined a conversation I had with my IT department because my computer would not let me log in. The help desk, as usual, couldn't figure out the problem. I reluctantly walked over to my manager's office to let her know about this situation. "Hey Shari...not to worry you but I … Continue reading Workstation Error, Concluded
