if we all carry ourselves with the dignity of Ellen Barshevsky.

You didn't think I would skip this one, did you? Ellen herself may not have wayed in on this past weekend's discussion about discussion, but a number of loyal fans brought her in in spirit. Entirely fitting, say I. Firstly, while many things may have changed on Corporette over the years, Ellen assuredly has not. Secondly, I agree that she is unmatched if you're looking for a bright, cheery tone and consistent life goals (for looseing weight and getting pregnant, if not in her career). 

I was a bit surprised to see such support from cbackson, who is an unerringly real person. All the more welcome, though!

Kelley B :
I think the site is fine. And I also really like that people are humble. And the best is Ellen Barshevsky, who always says things with a smile, even though she has issues with her boss, men and living in NY City.
We all need to take a step back and not get so stuck on ourselves. It probably would be a good thing if we all carry ourselves with the dignity of Ellen Barshevsky. Where is she when we need her views on this thread?
  • I love Ellen. She is very down to earth and not afraid to share her feelings. I hope she finds a husband soon. She probably will be a great mom. I’d set her up with my brother but he’s too much of a player for her.
cbackson :
It’s funny, but in a weird way I truly do feel like Ellen is the soul of this site. For all of her…Ellen-ness, in the end, she’s just a young woman trying to find career success and a guy who loves her for her (even with her ample tuchus!). Ellen doesn’t take disrespect from men, she cares about her community, and she has real, meaningful friendships with her female friends. IDK, I kind of feel like I know her…even though she isn’t real.
Here’s to you, Ellen Barshevsky.
  • I second the motion. Ellen is clearly a gem, and she is our gem. As far as I can tell, she is not posting on the ABA bulletin board any more — instead, she has grown up from a brash law student into a young lady who is achieving fame and fortune in her own small world of workers compensation, and keeping us up to speed with her personal life here, rather than with the ABA. I agree she should find a man, have children and return to the life of her childhood, being like her own mom baking cookies and cakes, and slipping them to her own issue much like her mom does for her. Go Ellen!
  • Pandoraphile :
    I third the motion! Ellen is a great distraction from work because many of us have the same kind of jerks in our office. Personally, I also have a manager who is quirky, and a co-worker with digestive issues that results in a host of excess gas within the office (though no bathroom/toilet in the center of the office that he sits in all day). And needless to say, we all have had issues with our admin assistants (a/k/a secretaries) who can be very helpful at times and very useless at others.
    So I look forward to Ellen’s daily posts, even if Corporette does not have a spell-check function for her! Keep up the great work, Ellen!!!!!!!!!

will NOT be abel to speak as effetivly IN court

Sowing the seeds of discord between Lynn and Mason? This can't be good for the office--but then, neither can their current relationship with all its dirty clothes, takeout, water cooler groping etc.

I agree that the rationale for scarf reimbursement is FINTASTIC. MP's not the most discerning one anyway.

I love this scarf, and MUST show ROSA b/c she can get it at NORDSTROM’s in White Plain’s!!!! Mabye she can buy two and we can be twins! YAY!!!!! I am not sure if the manageing partner will reimburse me for a scarf–technicaly it is NOT clotheing and I do NOT wear it to court, but I think I will argue that I need to wear this TO court and that if I get sick, I will NOT be abel to speak as effetivly IN court and the JUDGE will not be abel to hear my voice — therefoere I should be abel to get REIMBURSED for the scarf!
If anyone in the hive can help me with another better arguement, I am all ear’s!!!!! YAY!!!
In the mean time, Mason has been giveing me dirty look’s today. I think some of the thing’s I told Lynn must have stuck in her mind and mabye she is not beeing treated like such a dishrag by him, or some thing else is going down that I do NOT know about. Mabye I am to sensitive, but I think she may be standeing up to some of his demand’s and askeing for more in return. What else could it be? Well we women HAVE to stick up for ourselves, or guy’s will just burp and walk away. FOOEY on that! Especially since she is sleepeing with him every nite, he is probabley getting alot more then he deserves. FOOEY!
  • Your logical arguments are impeccable as always. I’m sure the managing partner will decide to reimburse you for the scarf!

It is a littel MACHO

EXPERRIME'NT!!! I am leaveing out Ellen post's that I missed! Can you possibly handel it, readers? I know just about everyone who is real and can walk through the world will forgive me, but I have some extremely persnickety phantom readers (all employed at S&S--huge firm that it is). For those of you who do feel this might bring about the world's end, please post either neglected material or editorial's on same in the COMENTS! Yay!!!

As to the text at hand: gross but predictable that a judge is hitting on Ellen. More surprising that she thinks he's a prospect for Myrna--how so? If anything, Myrna has more leverage on the dating scene, and unlike Ellen she has nothing to gain career-wise by cozying up on the bench.

Yay! Open thread’s! I love Open thread’s! And Friday, b/c I am on my way soon to go eat Frittatta’s at home with Myrna.
But as for the OP, who wan’ts a good place to eat between the THEATER District and Penn Station, I think your best bet is Ruth Chriss’s Steak House. It is a littel MACHO, with dark wood everywhere, but they have GREAT food and Potatoe’s that dad absolutely forbid’s me to eat b/c it goes directley to my tuchus he say’s. But I do NOT mind eating alot of potatoe’s b/c they are so good with sour cream on them and the steak’s are VERY juicy b/c there is alot of MARBELING (meaning fatty, but good).
You DO have to tell them NOT to grill the steak’s with BUTTER ON THEM b/c that only makes it MORE Calories then what you need, but if you forget, it is so good (but not for your tuchus). If you are goieng to the theater, just look up where they are — I think somewhere around 49th street. You could also go to Capital Grille, which is similar, but there are some waiter’s there that love to stare at my boobie’s, so make sure to wear a TURTELNECK so they won’t see anything.
I met a judge today at Macy’s, where I was lookeing at their big sale’s this weekend. The judge recognized me from Center Street, but I do NOT think I ever had a case in front of him. He is freind’s with my Judge, but he does NOT handel WC cases on Special Term. He asked if I was married, but he could see I had NO ring. I said no, so he said I should drop by his chamber’s the next time I was in court and we could talk. I realy did NOT know what to say so I just said that mabye I would tho I have to do 600 more hours, and my time with him would NOT be billeable unless I could find some NEXXUS to a case I was working on. He said that our talk could be viewed as general education, and I said that the manageing partner let’s me allocate those hour’s to my cleint’s.
He is a little old for me (mabye 55), but he said he work’s out at the NYSC downtown. He said he saw me with my lit bag, and remembered me to be very “strikeing”. I hope I do NOT stand out that much in a crowd, but this guy sure knew alot about me.
I will have to tell Myrna about this judge, b/c he could have some possibilitie’s for Myrna, if not for me. She is younger, but she is very worldly and could talk to this guy about alot of thing’s I can NOT. FOOEY b/c I need a smart guy, but I think this guy onley makes about $150,000 / year, and that is NOT enough to support me and my children. I also do NOT think I would like him haveing sex with me b/c he is also bald and need’s to use some kind of Mouthwash. FOOEY!
  • Ellen, you are attracting the wrong men. You need to go to a party with people your own age or you will always have judges, professors and other geriatrics looking to spread their seed after you for your youth and fecundity. These narcissistic men will surely impregnate you if it’s the last thing they do, but won’t be around 20 years down the road for their high school graduations. If you really want a child right now, go to a party in Williamsburg or Dumbo where plenty of men are available for stairwell sex and the kind of anonymity you want to keep losers out of your child’s upbringing. But stay away from geezers who will likely have to shoot many blanks before hitting pay dirt with you.

There were NO eligibel guy’s at the Museum

Was this ice cream a la mode? No wonder Ellen is worried about tuchus expansion--she was warned last time by a well-wisher that no, such a dessert would absolutely not be "ok," but now ELLENWatcher Tina is chimeing in saying whatever. 

Desappointing, obviously, that no future husband turned up at the museum. You'd think that with Myrna accompanying, they'd at least get a few prospects? Anyway, I don't think we should be so quick to write off the planeatarium. Dark, enclosed spaces allowing one to gaze up wistfully have set the scene for many a marriage proposal!

Yay! I love Tahari, but b/c of my tuchus, size 4 works for me now. I am thinkeing tho, that dad is right– that if I start buying size 4′s that I will NEVER go back to my size 2′s, and that would mean giveing in to my tuchus, dad says. Dad make’s alot of sense, but it is NOT him walkeing his tuchus off to fit into a size 2, it is me– and I thought that if I DO get some size 4′s that I would be abel to use these in a PINCH, when the size 2′s feel to small b/c of my tuchus, which dad call’s OVERSTUFFED. FOOEY on dad for compareing my tuchus to an overstuffed chair!
Myrna and I saw alot of dinasaur’s at the Museum over the weekend and she took picture’s but I am NOT sure she should of, b/c the guard skowled at her for doing it even tho she onley used an IPHONE!
There were NO eligibel guy’s at the Museum tho. I did NOT want to go to the planeatarium b/c I did NOT want to have to go in the dark and look up. FOOEY!
We did have ice cream at their food court and it was VERY good. Myrna also had a little pasta, but her tuchus is alot smaller then mine. She said she would go back with me again soon. YAY!!!!
  • Go with the size 4, and to heck with your dad and his tuchus comments. You have to be comfortable, and not worry about it.

[2th ANNIVER'SARY! Yayy]



That's right, fan's. We've been ELLENWatching here for two whole years now. Amazeing how far we haven't come, right? 

I have gotten the feedback that Real Ellen has probably been itching, this whole time, to contact me privately and reveal herself and all her mysteries. Like "Hi, I am Ellen, big fan of your blog about me, and here's my deal and Why(TF) I've been doing this since 2008." So to acknowledge this inevitability and ease its coming to pass, I am finally connecting an email account to this blog. Have at it, imposter's, fake minions, and real people (if any are out there anymore)! I now await your personal missives: ELLENWatchblog at g m a i l. 

Celebreate good time's!
Come on.
EW

"Possible ELLEN sighting"

Fantastic work, Katie. And please join us over here from time to time, will you? As I said, Ellen has recently shared with us that she like's Ivanka Trump for being so down-to-earth and well-educated. No wonder she was so dessapointed back in July to have this pair of shoes scratch up and cause BUNEIOIN'S after one day! (Alright, that last bit I have added in on my own.) If you don't feel like clicking through, here's the text of the review:

QUALITY OF THIS BRAND AND EXACTLY THIS SHOES IS AMAZINGLY BAD. i'VE BOUGHT 2 PAIRS;BLACK AND GOLD.AFTER FIRST WARING GOLD ONE BECAME WRINCKLY AND SCRATCHED. MATERIAL IS VERY HARD TO WEAR...i AM VERY DESSAPOINTED!!!

But there's a 36-second video too. Enjoy? 

Possible ELLEN sighting below… could it be?

I would like ice cream a la mode.

I like this one. But my feedback would have been a little different: ice cream with ice cream is very nourishing to the tuchus--more than ok. She seems to really be asking whether it's ok for your father, your fitbit, your marriage prospects, your skirt suit etc. 

I would like ice cream a la mode. Is that ok for your tuchus?
  • You want ice cream with ice cream on top? No, two scoops are never okay for your tuchus. Next thing you know, people will be wanting waffle cones. Nobody wants to see that. 8)

[Tenley seek's advice]

Probably true, tesyaa. Thanks for calling this to my attention. I've seen a few other likely Ellen affiliates overusing the garden metaphor, and in this case it even looks like the alias could be referring to Alan. He was, after all, by some reports a rather lackluster lover, and he has indeed been trying to get back in touch this spring (via phone, his mom, and Corporette).

I wonder if its a sign of Spring here in the Northeast?
A guy I used to date last Spring called me last week looking to tend my lady garden. It’s been a long, cold winter and now that the frost is over, I would appreciate a little tilling, but I am not sure I want him doing the gardeining again, as he proved useless when it came last year to the harvest season. Any ideas, ladies?

we are trueley SOUL sister’s.

Interesting how Ellen vacillates between grandiose over-self-estimation and frank/sad assessments like this one below. It's either all about how beautiful and successful she is, or else a perfect storm of manipulation, rejection, and overgrown butt. In some respects she does resemble a real person, no denying it. No surprise that the weight change has reversed course and we are once again left to worry about bathing suit feasibility. 

I'm relieved to see that she appears not to be forgetting her birthday this year (granted, I've posted several reminders). We have about two weeks to get this out of the way, friend! Make sure it doesn't turn into April. 

Yay! Open Thread’s! I love Open thread’s!
As for the OP, Hug’s to you b/c I am in the SAME Place as you. In fact I could have writen your p’ost, so we are trueley SOUL sister’s. But beleive me, you are accomplisheing alot, and it won’t be long until you find your OWN majical prince Charming who will sweep you off of your feet, take you to his castel, and MARRY you, b/c you are acomplished, have a good job, and are self suficieint.
In fact, you sound more self suficient then me, b/c I do NOT have many freind’s left from college that I still comunicate with. My work has taken over my life, and the guy’s I meet do NOT want to marry me, but just want to have sex. Even Benjamin was stareing at my boobies yesterday thru my new white silk blouse that the manageing partner made me buy and wear to distract him. So I worry now that my birthday is comeing up, that I am also getting a little old for the sex thing, and that I will need to attract men with my brains as my look’s fade. Also, my tuchus is getting bigger and now I need for it to get smaller if I am to go to the Hamton’s, I cannot have a big tuchus with my batheing suit’s, even the one piece one’s will NOT look good if my tuchus is coming out of both side’s. FOOEY!
So you should keep workeing, but work out like me to try and keep your tuchus slim, and do NOT eat alot of food if you are planning on goieng to the Hamton’s. In the mean time, know that you are a profesional who can do ANYTHING if you put you’re mind to it. YAY!!!!

If I used this, men would mabye marry me

Does anyone know how using an iPad can help with the imperative to marry ASAP? 

Mooveing on to the ex-friend's ex-husband, I am not sure why the usually prudent Myrna isn't seeing all the red flags I see. Her "warning" about premarital intimacy also comes approximately 15 years too late. Why isn't Myrna married, anyway? We've heard all about how attractive, outgoing and accomplished she is, but everyone knows that's all a smokescreen. I'll take her advice seriously when she shows us she really knows how to snare a catch. 

Fans, if I missed any Alan posts please help me out. 

Yay! Open thread’s! I love Open thread’s! I also think Tesyaa is on point again! I agree with Tesyaa that this is a great causal dress, but it clearley need’s a CAMI. What a great topic for discusion, Kat! Very thoughtful to include a nice dress at this stage, b/c I am of the belief that a nice dress with a cami is the best entree into the business world! YAY!
This weekend, my dad is comeing into town and we are goieng to see if he can get me a new TABLET computer. My ipad is getting a littel long in the tooth and he said I should just give it to him and he will give it to mom or Grandma Trudy and this will replace their Andreoid’s.
I am thinkeing that I want an IPAD MINI with RETTENA Display and 128 gigebite’s of data and a data connection. I told Dad this was goieng to cost a lot of MONEY but he said that I was worth it and If I used this, men would mabye marry me, so in the long run, he think’s it could be a very cheep investement in my future. YAY!!!!
Myrna think’s me dateing Rosa’s ex-freind’s ex husband might work, tho she think’s I would probabley have to live in Chapaqua. FOOEY! She also said she should meet him before letting Rosa foysteing him on me. Myrna says if this guy want’s me, he should be ready to moove in to NYC, not me moove to Chapaqua, even tho Rosa is there, especialy if I am forced to keep workeing. If I can quit work and move up there, mabye I will consider that, but I do NOT see that hapening soon, especialy if he needs extra income to suport me as a SAHM. But Myrna warned me that no guy is goieng to marry me until he has a lot of sex with me to make sure I am worth it. FOOEY! I am NOT a blowup doll just for men to have sex with. I am a person with a lot of brain’s and beauty. Why do MEN just want to use women like me like a blowup doll? DOUBEL FOOEY! I am so much more then that.
If anyone in the hive knows a decent guy who I can date and not have sex all the time before we are MARRIED, please let me know. I do not think enough men respect me for my mind, and I have a very strong mind, dad say’s! YAY!!!

does NOT have to shouvel

Interesting, Wildkitten (click through, below, to see what she was talking about). This brings us back to the discussion of whether Ellen is actually a troll in the traditional definition of the term--and for my two cents she is not. Most people tend to think of trolling as leaving insulting/inflammatory comments on others' content, but not as developing a persona in great detail. Yes, almost every Ellen post espouses views or values that can be expected to rankle, especially on Corporette, but she doesn't make it seem like her primary aim. 

I think of Ellen more as a self-appointed court jester, a clumsy satirist, a buffoon who isn't even reflective enough to be self-deprecating per se. As for the person(s) behind her, I could never attempt to speculate at motives or even means. As always, comments and disagreements are invited--this is like existentialism for ELLENWatch! 

I think snow is great, so long as you dont have to walk in it or shouvel it. Otherwise, its FOOEY! When we were young, Rosa built a snow man and we had alot of fun. I do NOT like snow now, b/c my dad make’s me walk to work with my fitbit, rain or snow or not. He get’s mad when I take the 6 line and say’s I could be svelte and MARRIED if I walk, b/c I can meet a man and have the kind of tuchus he want’s. I think he is a littel crazy over my tuchus being to big, but he does not care about snow b/c he has a man who come’s by with a plow and he does NOT have to shouvel. The manageing partner is workeing from home so he does not care either.

but I think he like’s to eat onion’s garlic

Which grandma was a Shirley Temple fan? My educated guess is Trudy; Leyeh doesn't strike me as having much time for whimsical entertainment from any decade/century. 

Two more strike's against Benjamin: government salaries are a fooey, and like nearly all males he has bad breathe. Thank's, Subs.

Yay! I love Kate Spade bag’s, this is yet another great pick by Kat. To bad dad make’s me schlep my lit bag everwhere so that peeople know I am a lawyer. I told him they could figure that out b/c of my tuchus sitting on a chair all day, but no, he make’s me carrymy lit bag everywhere! FOOEY!
I just got back from court, and I WON all 4 of my motion’s. That trip was good for 16 billeble hour’s and only took 4! Mason is learning the math quickly. He may yet turn out OK, b/c he carried my lit bag for me! YAY!!
As for the OP, Yes, hug’s to all. My grandma loved Shirely Temple. She alway’s thought that I would be JUST like Shirley Temple, but I never learned to tap dance. FOOEY b/c I think I could have been in movie’s, but I never wanted to go to UCLA, where alot of the movie star’s go to school. Instead, I thought I would be smart and study in DC, but I never wound up getting a goverment job after all. FOOEY! Because I do not like to work so hard and alot of peeople in DC do not work more then 37 1/2 hours a week. They have a life! I am sometime’s very JELOUS, except when I get my paycheck. Dad tells me that NO ONE in the GOVERMENT make’s what I do and what I will when my partnership share is given to me next year! YAY!
Benjamin is still here, but I think he like’s to eat onion’s garlic. His mouth is again not to fresh, and I think he must have ate a sub from subway. I could NEVER marry a guy who ate at subway’s all the time b/c he would have to much gas for me and our bed. DOUBEL FOOEY!

there is a mule that come’s up

Far be it from me to try to deconstruct Ellen's intricate creative inspirations, but a mule? For Fred? My best guess is that this is a comment on his stubbornness; he keeps contacting Ellen despite zero demonstration of interest from her. Far behind that possibility is the simple association with gross animals--he's a pet store owner and tries to send kitty litter as a love token sometimes

Thank's to the ELLENWatchers here discussing her spelling of "suede." tesyaa, I am first of all impressed that you had any reason to be writing this word when you were a little kid--I don't think I even knew what it was until high school. Second, I agree that generally this just isn't something about Ellen that can be pinned down: some word's she misspells in exactly the same way every time, others she mixes up on whim, and still others she occasionally or formerly knew how to spell but have since descended into madness.

I think we have to assume that Grandma Trudy is Ellen's mom's mom. Is she still with us, pray? 
I agree. I love these pump’s but every time I read the word HUSH PUPPIE’S, I think of my dad when I was a little girl, and how he used to wear these clunky shoe’s that were swade, and how mad he got when he stepped in Susie’s poopie b/c there was tread on the bottom of those shoe’s. Suzie was our little puppie that did NOT ever get house broken b/f we gave it to Grandma Trudy.
Anyway, the IRS guy is still talkeing to the manageing partner, and I see that the manageing partner is sweateing b/c he has sweat ring’s under his arm’s of his suit. It is hot in here and he NEVER wear’s his jacket, but today, he is and you can tell he is sweateing! FOOEY! Margie will be mad that his suit has sweateing stains on it unless they can be dry cleaned out, he will need a new suit. FOOEY b/c that mean’s less money for Margie to spend on herself.
Sam texted me about food, and so did FRED. I should never have given that guy my cell number. I should have just given him my FIOS number at home. What a jerk I was b/c his message’s keep poppeing up on my phone. I put a picture of a mule next to him so every time he call’s or text’s, there is a mule that come’s up, so at least it’s funny.
I have not put a picture up for Sam, and was thinkeing I should put a picture up of a winkie, but that would NOT be professional if I was in a meeting and all of a sudden a winkie showed up on my IPHONE. FOOEY! Willem also want’s to meet. He is a littel to stiff for me tho. I need a guy who is freindly but not that stiff.
Myrna thought the guy at the superbowl party was a jerk, but she knew him. She asked me if I wanted to date him. I said DOUBEL FOOEY to that!
I need a new guy in my life. YAY!!!!!
  • Ellen is super consistent about spelling suede “swade”. Most people who don’t know how to spell aren’t quite so consistent. Let’s see a suade, suedd, or my fave, and how I spelled it as a little kid, “swayed”.
I’m not sure it’s so much that Ellen doesn’t know how to spell as that she has her own language.
