casual ultimate » what a way to make a livin

people who know casual ultimate will know that miss casual is not an ‘overtime’ kind of girl. she is more similar to that chubby helmet wearing stunt kid in the bud light commercial who says ‘im going to work 2 minutes passed 5… on a friday!’ then watches the clock tick passed go-time and breaks into a sweat and hand tremors.

living the casual life is a full time job in itself which very leaves little time for things like ‘commitment to one’s career’ and ‘dedication to work’ and ’staying at you desk past 530.’ once upon a time, (i believe they called it ‘the 50’s’) people defined themselves by their life’s work… and at casual ultimate we still do. its just that my life’s work is clearly organizing happy hour and writing about it in a self aggrandizing fashion. what can i say? its a gift and i have to maximize my god given potential. so while others toil at their desks, miss casual takes to the streets of the double deuce looking for ms. ultimate, trouble, and a good glass of prosecco, in that order, so that the real ‘work’ can begin. to use a phrase often heard in our house at the holidays, she heads out to ‘work. you. dog.’

so here at my ‘real’ job at 7:02 on a beautiful wednesday evening i just thought id check in with the blog, my one true calling. when the book deal comes through it will be sad to leave all this ‘architecture’ biznass behind but for tonight i will relish my smug feeling of satisfaction at working late into the evening for a change… or at least for another 28 minutes until my boss will pay for my dinner.
