Just Another Day at the Office

Want to know what a typical day at the SEOmoz office looks like? How's about I give you a sneak peek? Here's a day in the life of an SEOmozzer, from start to finish...

7:15 am: Wake up
7:45 am: Head to gym
8:00-9:00 am: Work out
9:00-10:00 am: Drive home, shower, get ready for work
10:15 am: Get to office
10:20 am: Have a bagel (Blueberry. That's a good bagel.)
10:30-12:30: Read/respond to emails, edit blog/YOUmoz
12:30-1:30 pm: Take our newest hire, Sarah, out to lunch (ooh, sushi). Charge $90 (don't judge, we fed eight people) to company card (thanks, SEOmoz!)
1:30 pm: Apologize to Rand for forgetting to invite him to lunch (Oops. Aw, he looks so sad.)
1:31 pm: Decide to give Rand lunch receipt later.
1:35-2:30 pm: Start to get back on track with tasks, until...
2:30 pm: Dave Naylor pops his fookin' head in our office


Happy to see us, as always

2:35-3:20 pm: Leave office to get coffee with Dave
3:25 pm: Head back to office
3:35 pm: Leave office again to get coffee with Scott and a potential client
4:15 pm: Head back to office
4:20 pm: Come in and see that during the forty five minutes I was gone, a giant piece of furniture has been ripped out of the "pit" and is now sitting in our kitchen


The desk...


...is now in our kitchen


4:30 pm: Notice on my way to the bathroom that we have received a ransom note from the folks at Pole Position Marketing that threatens to release incriminating photos of Brock Sampson if we fail to meet their demands. (For background information about Brock, please see this post and his corresponding resume.)

4:35 pm: Wonder if Stoney deGeyter actually gets any work done, or if he just spends his days plotting ways to mess with SEOmoz
4:36 pm: Realize that I haven't gotten any work done
4:37 pm: Look over at Jane, who is actually working (on her presentation for SMX London. Look how happy she is! Being productive is good!)


Jane being a diligent worker

4:38 pm: Feel guilty
4:40 pm: Look at my task list
4:40 pm: Look at the clock
4:40 pm: Think to myself, "Ah, the hell with it," snap some photos, and start putting together this blog post

And that, my friends, is just another day at the office. ;)

[Postscript: Of course this isn't how things are typically run around here, but today was just so damn odd that I had to share. I may put up an actual "typical day" post soon to prove to you naysayers out there that yes, I actually do earn my paycheck.
