Hard at Work

Some of my favorite things- my roommate Brian in the kitchen where he works and a basket of french fries...kind of awesome.

Ale's Shoe-Mania

Since we did a snap-shot of co-worker Annie's cubicle personality, I'm bringing you a slice of co-worker Ale (of Joey and Ale do Milwaukee!) and her cubicle life. What's most impressive about Ale's desk is not her pics of her cute dog Rosie or very well coordinated office storage. It's her insane pile of shoes that she keeps under her desk, ready at a moment's notice. The six pairs pictured here are an average amount for any given day, and Ale regularly walks to work in sandals or Uggs (depending on the season) and then matches her shoes up to her outfit once she's at the office. Favorites are anything that looks like Christian Laboutin or anything by Jessica Simpson's fashion line.

Ale and the (Ugly) Lighthouse

Sailboating yet again: Here, my coworker Ale muses over the lighthouse that sits on Milwaukee's breakwater between the harbor and the rest of the lake. She let me know that she used to want to see this thing up close, but now she thinks it's pretty ugly.

Lessons in Rope Dropping

Another Dennis Sullivan classic photo: This is my co-worker Annie. They tried to get her to stand in the sail hoisting line, but she couldn't pull the rope fast enough, and started to drop the rope all over the deck, probably in an attempt to not smack this little kid behind her with it. Needless to say, Annie finds this all pretty funny.

More Seafaring Adventures

More Dennis Sullivan exploits: here, a few of my coworkers get a lesson in sail hoisting. The sail was almost like being out on the ocean, except for that lingering smell of waste treatment plants and dead fish...

Aye, to the Ship!

A group outing with my company saw me boarding the SMS Dennis Sullivan, a remake of a 19th century schooner that gives day sails on Lake Michigan. Here, a few of the women I work with take charge and head for our fair vessel.
