I’m taking a break from my regular posts this week to bring you a short message from me, Don Joe, Workforced author.
I know; I am an unabashed publicity hussy. To that end, if you’d like to review Workforced and get your blog button in the Workforced sidebar please send me an email or leave a comment.
I’m also considering: (1) standing by the side of major roads with a sign reading “will blog for publicity”, (2) lunging at The Pope and (3) offering my kidneys to the founders of Google, assuming they are histocompatible and are comfortable harvesting my organs.
Right, that’s quite enough self-promotion; we will return to our regular programming next week where I’ll be looking at how to turn household waste into a quarterly performance report.
Thank You for Reviewing Workforced
- A very kind review from the Midnight Writer. I’m flattered anyone could write so much about Workforced! The best I can do is “please subscribe or the puppy gets it.”
- “A link I love: Workforced” from the Alabaster Cow. That’s amazing because I don’t love Workforced. At best I can tolerate my writing and I get on my own nerves most of the time.
- They like Workforced in Cape Cod, according to Cape Cod Awesome. When I grew up I thought Cape Cod was some kind of fish superhero. We live and learn.

Hello Don Joe,
Hey that rhymed. I’ve just checked out that video of yours. Very good and quite the impassioned plea.
Now I’m not the type to blatantly promote my blog via this comment. I’m not going to let you know that my blog, unbelievable, but true, was featured on ‘Pods and Blogs’ on ‘Radio 5 Live’. No sir, I’m much too humble and shy for that:-)
Just wanted to invite you to the upcoming ‘wee folks’ wedding between the beautiful fairy princess and the garden gnome.
All the very best to you. It has been an absolute pleasure interacting with you.
With respect and a bag of crisps, Gary
thank you for the shout out! and 801 followers? so awesome!
Be warned:
Lunging at the Pope while his head is bowed will garner only an impalement from which you may never recover. Organs are a safer way to go, but consider donating something you won’t miss… like dead skin cells, dandruff or nail clippings.
Just a thought…
I’ve often thought of posting an ad on Craig’s List: “Blogger will perform unnatural acts for followers,” but I’m kind of liking your idea of lunging at the Pope.
Gosh! I’m blushing so give me a minute. Gee…thanks Don for the “thank you” and the kind words. It was fun reading your blog then writing about it. I didn’t think I said enough but I didn’t want to steal your comic thunder….just one of your kidneys cause mine are wearing out. ….if the offer extends beyond the pope. I’m embarrassed to have stepped into the noble company of such talented refined comedians. I laughed with unabashed inhibitions.
I’m with Zaedah…stick to dead skin cells or dandruff except in a hair salon. You’ll just get shampooed like the an amorphous puppy. As for self promotion…I am totally unskilled in such a wanton act of ego. Why, I wouldn’t know what to say about my blogs except that I’m a mere creative freelance writer, novelist, Presidential blogger and current script writer for a movie. I blog for 6 major companies and some private clients but that pales in comparison to Workforced raw uninhibited talent for vociferous wit.
I leave your noble audience better than when I arrived.
WHOOP ASS! Good luck!
“Assuming they are histocompatible and are comfortable harvesting my organs.” They are Google. It’s probably a fair guess that if they weren’t personally, they have a file on a hundred or so folks who are. Not to mention a laundry list of people who’d truly enjoy slicing and dicing.
Happy Easter Bunny!
You know, on first glance, I thought that said Massage from our sponsor.
Now THAT’S what all workplaces need.
Don Joe,
I escaped my cubicle and you can not force me to go back. Gotta go the men with the nets are after me.
I love it when a man says I’ll open a can of wuppass on you.
You are such an attention whore, you are right and that’s why we love you. Or, we are just happy to have found someone who is as miserable as we are in the corporate hives.
bzzzzzzz. bzzzzzzzz.
hahahahaha loved the ending… Hope you have a great weekend..
Don Joe,
I think you’re doing a fabulous job with workforced as it clear from your dedicated following. I always get a chuckle when I check out your blog and have had you on my blog roll for quite a few weeks now.
Keep it coming!
Jai
Probably a good week to lung at the Pope. He will just think you love Jesus…a lot.
Thanks for the invite. I used to blog at work, but damn them for adding to my workload and my blog has suffered greatly! Priorities, people!
Don Joe,
Just found you through Midget Man of Steel. Love your blog!
It’s nice to know I’m not alone… My heart goes out to you, my fellow cube-dweller. I recently wrote about my experiences as a cube-dwelling state employee: http://kernut.com/2010/03/i%E2%80%99m-a-state-subsidized-cube-dweller/
I’d be happy to write a review, and would love to get my blog button on your awesome site! Contact me.
Love the site. You have officially been “pimped.”
http://www.drheckle.net/2010/04/workforcedcom.html
Time for some Pope lunging…
I pimped you, too, as Dr Heckle said.
http://kernut.com/2010/04/workforced-com-we-are-not-alone/
Now would be an excellent time to lunge at the Pope because he is in one dilly of a pickle. I’m almost certain that exit visas are imminent for his eminence…courtesy of some crazed Opus Dei albino with ciliced thighs and a bad attitude.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions innit?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with self promotion!!
ahhh where have you BEEN all my life?????
You are some kind of witty sir!
Dear Don Joe, will you please come and break me out of my cubelet. Not exactly a cube, but closely resembles one. P.S. Is there any way that you would post my button on your sidebar? I would be flattered and my work day would suck ever so much less knowing that I am a bit part of your famous blog. Your friend, Pippi
Good luck with the self-promotion.
While the vid was fantastic, I found it kind of weird to put a face and a voice to the words, although you really are quite handsome…Just out of curiosity, is lunging at the Pope at all related to publicity, or just a personal goal? I could do with a goal like that.
@ Ruby – I’ve been thinking of turning ‘Pope lunging’ into a sport. You get a little velcro flag and each one you stick to the Pope scores more points.
@ Pippi – I’m working on breaking folks out of their cubes. If I ever get a Workforced book out of this, the sequel will be “How to escape the cube” and will include tricks like fire alarms, smoke screen, turning paper clips chains into rope ladders, and more besides.
@ Shawna – I have been at work!
@ Dorn – Google already owns my digital information, they may as well have my genes too.
Right! That’s quite enough waffle from me. Toodle pip!
Love a shameless plug! Thanks for stopping by my place to promote yours! I’m following! Add your Links to my Linkys for more shameless promotion… this week’s topic is Order… next week is Creativity.
Kathy over at Everyday Bliss
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little self promo! Sometimes ya just gotta tank the horse by the reins. WooHoo! Go get ‘em tiger.
Have a great day!!!
Well this is the second time I’ve run into your site out there in this blog-oh-so-fear (I know, I am a wiz with word plays
and so- here be I (like the little green jedi knight would say) … anyhoo, I am so following you now becuase like you, 1. I hope that maybe someday you will send some selfless promoting my way and 2. I am a huge lover of ninjas- HI-YAA Motral! Hope you can stop by my place when you busy schedule allows 
That was MORTAL!
Thanks for visiting. I’ve never thought of just asking people to follow my blog. Usually if I write about toilets or butts or something I can get a follower. Do you have any posts about bathrooms?
@ Krista – even I have a potty mouth: http://workforced.com/2010/01/office-toilets-i-cant-take-this-sht.html
You seriously keel me!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this site. (I had to stop reading you at work – ’cause I usually laugh like a hyena … and Ima gonna get caught.)
D
I love the chained to the desk ’cause the boss thinks it will boost productivity. HA!

I am glad you found me, I am throughly enjoying your site thus far!
Where have you been all my life??
So funny!!!!
Hi just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren\’t loading correctly. I\’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I\’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
A little riatonatliy lifts the quality of the debate here. Thanks for contributing!
