CRAZY CANDY LADY FIGHTS BACK!

Yes, its true; I'll gladly admit I cannot defend my addiction even the slighest bit :) I get serious candy withdrawls if I am deprived of sugar longer than a couple of hours SO feel free to get your grubby little hands on some Peachy-O's or Now 'N Laters, but leave the last one for the crazy candy lady or beware :)

Peculiar Eating Habits

I'd just like to say that Lauren Harrington eats more candy than anyone I know. She always is eating gummies, Now N Laters, and countless other candies until she makes herself sick. So if you walk by her desk and see her eating candy (which she WILL be doing), make sure you take some off her hands so she doesn't get a tummy ache. That is all.

What a Weekend



I was officially a zombie yesterday, and a semi-zombie the day before that.

Blame Nam and an evening at Plush.

But now I am eating amazing food from Tapioca House, and am thoroughly re-energized!

Back to work!

Guy in the background

I like how the guy on the TV looks like he's part of the group pic, nice!

Assemble



Tocquigny should be proud. We're such well-behaved children.

Also, if you didn't select your best three shots from the Tocquigny photoshoot, be sure to do so and send them to Eddie. Not that they're guaranteed to be used...but trust me, you don't want the Creative team to pick out your photo for you.

Work hard. Play hard.

hello!

hi there :) So I am pretty sure I am the last one to post a blog on this thing... but better late then never right?!? Anyway, I have met most of yall and am looking forward to getting to know everyone even better. I am presently a senior at UT and am NOT looking forward to graduating; growing up is highly overrated! To anyone who is not a senior yet, I suggest staying in college for as long as humanly possible! In my free time I love to eat, drink a good glass of wine, be lazy and hang out with friends. I can be a bit scatterbrained so I apologize now for anything embarassing I might do or say :)

On a side note, happy hour the other night was great! We must repeat this as much as possible in my opinion. I think that Lisa and I are planning on attending happy hour tomorrow and hopefully some other interns will join us as well! It will be a fun time. Anyway, bye for now!

新年快樂!



Did anyone else get money for THEIR New Year's celebration?

Didn't think so.

One more year, and it'll be the Year of the Ox! REPRESENT.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm actually sort of anticipating the intern project for this semester. I'm hoping it'll be fun for us all and rewarding.

And if you haven't seen it yet, our first Intern picture is on the Flickr gallery of the Tocquigny website - go and look! We'll probably take another one right after our intern meeting next week, or before our next happy hour outing. Besides, all the employees with white papers and case studies are getting "special photos," so we've got to step up and keep our presence on the webpage strong. If anyone wants to just go ahead and take their own photo (you brave soul, you), go right ahead - if you want to know how to take the photo, just come and ask me.

Also, the Robot Party was pretty cool - Rusty, Anthony and I were the only interns there, but it was relaxed enough (and everyone was boozed up enough) that it wasn't awkward at all. So, you other interns, start coming to these events! Everything was on the Tocquigny tab, so the guys started ordering drinks non-stop. I only drank half of a hard lemonade with mint, and by the end of the evening, the ice had melted enough that it looked full again...sad. Then we went to Buffalo Billiards; it's always fun to watch people smack darts into the wall or sink the cue ball on accident.

Peace out. And Anthony, you're not allowed to steal my shoes anymore.

hi

Hi ya'll,

I'm Mallory. I am an advertising media student at UT, but am working as Yvonne's intern here at Tocquigny (she is great, and I suggest you come meet her if you get the chance). I love sports- watching and playing. favorite sports to play are volleyball and water polo (this one time a girl bit my arm during a game and hung on like i was a piece of meat- not appreciated.)

I am only 20 (thanks cody!) so I will try to attend as many outings that aren't '21-only' as i possibly can!

I sit nearish to rusty. acctually, i'm pretty confident I could throw something from my little space and hit him. lucky for rusty, he isn't here for me to test this little theory. anywho, the reason Im telling ya'll where my desk is, is so that you can stop by and talk to me any time. I work M(11-4), W(11-5), and F(11-3).

I can't juggle, but would love to learn (andrew, i'm talking to you). I CAN however jump over my own leg jump-rope style and say the alphabet backwards extremely fast.

Invasion!



So I've been taking a little peek through the new Tocquigny website (http://beta.tocquigny.com/ for those of you who haven't visited it yet), and the Flickr gallery of the office is missing something very very important...

...pictures of the interns!

This must be corrected. Who's with me?

Hello all,

I have been happy to meet some of you and look forward to meeting the rest soon. I think the Happy Hour idea was a great suggestion (not just because of the booze) and next Wednesday works perfect for me. So if anybody has any suggestions of near by places they just love to go to, don't be shy share them. Also, is anyone not 21 (sorry Mallory)?

Oh and the introduction stuff: I am currently at UT studying Advertising, huge footbal fan (Longhorns and Chicago Bears), done a little traveling outside of the US, belong to a fraternity Alpha Tau Omega, and I couldn't be more excited to start working along side all of you here at Tocquigny.

Hey Guys!
I have met some of you but not all because I missed the first day due to strep throat. Apparentlyyy you guys all went out for lunch yesterday and since I don't work on Thursdays... I was left out :(. SO, in regards to happy hour after work on Wednesday... I am so down. Also, I'm here until 1:30-5:30 MWF... I have no idea what "jabber" is... I will try to fish through all these e-mails and find the instructions. But, if you want to come help slash do it for me (Rusty)... I wont mind :)
Hope to meet all of you soon!
Lisa
