I'm Starting My Own Cover Band

I didn't do much yesterday. Just hung around with my friend Elmo. Sort of surprised nobody noticed me there and told me to get back to work. Not a very observant group of people I work with I guess.


Have you ever seen a website called Jib Jab? It's sort of an e-card, video store that you can use your own photos for. So, I got an idea. Check it out! My Sonny & Cher Cover Band

Cross Training

Man have I been having a blast! I now understand why getting away from the office is important. Even if it's just for some cross-training. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to cover the front desk and answer some calls. Most were great, just had to say "Thank you for calling Papa Murphy's, this is The Red Mug." and then transfer the caller off to, another desk in another office. The tough part was when I got an upset customer. Jennifer was at lunch, so I did my best to smooth things over by offering the guy $50 in gift cards. He seemed really pleased by that.



After that stressful phone call, I decided I need to to relax. I headed to the massage chair on my break. It was pretty nice. Except for the looks that anyone passing by  gave me. Like I was slacking or something because I was enjoy an employee perk.




Yesterday, I mentioned happy hour! I finally got the pictures back. I got to see how the other half lives and man to they know how to have a great time!

New Friends

I didn't think Happy Hour could be topped. However, yesterday I made some new friends and got a view of the world from a completely different perspective. Not that there is anything wrong with hanging out on the first floor all the time. I'm just saying change is nice.

This is me hanging out with my new buddy JB. Nice guy, I enjoyed spending time with him.



This is The King. Nickname I gave him. Long story. Had to be there. He's such a joker.


I'm not ready for this adventure to end! More tomorrow.

Let Me Introduce Myself

Hello, I am The Red Mug. This blog is about the travels I'll take, and trouble I'll get into while on vacation. My buddy Mike left me last week to visit The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. I was born and raised in Bowling Green. Mike brought me back here a couple years ago and I've been stuck with him ever since.

This is where I can usually be found, chillin' - literally - on Mike's desk. I don't get it, he fills me up with hot as hell coffee and then let's me sit half the day until he realizes I've cooled too much and he starts the whole thing over again. Whatever, it keeps me busy.


I have one brother, Other Mug. He lounges around on Mike's bookcase while I do all the work. Typical of that slacker. He says "oh but I have a crack, I can't hold scalding hot coffee". Whiner.

Here we are together; photographic proof that I am the superior mug.




My best friend is Keurig, we see each other twice, sometimes three times a day.

Here we are doing what we do best.




I think that covers my introduction. Please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments.
