About the Yuppies

See what yuppie stands for in this day and age: Young Underpaid Professionals. This blog is brought to you by three yuppies plotting world domination.

Nancy S. has left her day job armed with a dream and a very potent realization that getting back into the rat race is the last thing she wants to do. The gears of world domination has started to turn, very slowly but rest assured they are turning. She also bakes scrumptious delights and can probably whip up an edible stir-fry out of pieces of kelp and some random bits of meat (like what MacGuyver would do if he channeled Wolfgang Puck), possibly for world domination purposes as well. She is The Overlord, and the internet will tremble under her feet.

M Rica Montenegro is currently in Yuppie Purgatory – an office cubicle, corpo’s little way of reminding you of your place in the universe and your significance in relation to the great cosmic scheme of things. In between shuttling from her house to work, she finds time to plot the deaths of certain people in intricate detail and finds comfort in the fact that those people will die even without her intervention. Also, she’s a rabid fangirl for anything shoujo/shonen/reverse harem and specializes in bugging Rio about finding manga scans and Neopets items.

Rio Siochi is a freelance writer, half-assed web designer, harassed baby-sitter, and half-baked content manager, among so many other things that she gets confused herself. Along with plans to make millions by opening a shop that sells backbones and balls, with occasional stocks of common sense and conscience (souls are very hard to come by), she was sucked into has joined The Overlord’s world domination plans. She still hasn’t given up her dream of becoming Yellow 4 when she grows up.

Chris S. is the Old Underpaid Professional. He has spent XX years of his life he can never get back working for various companies. (The Yuppie crew was once his peons. The Yuppie crew *fondly* calls him “Hentai Baba” or perverted old lady.) While working for other people, he dreams of making his own company where he is his own boss and he gets time enough to tend to an organic farm.

onlysecond is currently working for a cosmetics and underwear giant. Aside from wondering where her social life went (Work-life balance? What work-life balance?), she ponders if there will ever be a worldwide undies shortage. Also, she has thought of all the possibilities of using an underwire bra as a strangling device.

Rem is a freelance writer and works for an NGO for kids. She gets to travel to various places and says that her work is fun. It’s true, if you consider hugging sides of mountains and traversing dangerously deep rivers fun.

Mabie is a princess who has been a poseur for x number of years – working for a tech company while being technically impaired. She also curses Math during Tuesdays, and hates that weekends only last for two days.

Karl is a bored housewife who wishes he was 15 again. [That's according to him, not me.]

Mai has a quite inexplicable love for turtles [including but not limited to Squirtles, Koopas, and vicious snapping turtles]. While biding her time in corpo – eherm – hell, she wonders how to install a Blue Shell on her future car.

wasabikid spends time wishing he was a disney princess (or a mermaid in Lobo, whichever works) whilst wasting his life away in the middle of the desert.

Honorary Yuppies

Together with all the usual suspects above, here are the people who have contributed in one way or another.

Chibichan (also known as Lei in another universe) is a team leader – a job that has left her amazed of how some people seem to only have brain cells enough for the basic stuff, like breathing and blinking. Along with several other perfectly functional yuppies, she has found herself in the Second Circle of Yuppie Hell: a BPO. As if working the graveyard shift wasn’t torture enough, zombies and the brain-undead have slowly crept up… into Upper Management. Fortunately, she has been practicing verbal karate from an early age and has learned how to fire laser eye beams of death.

Askalfreak is a freelance journalist, with strong leanings for animal welfare and protection. She has more work experience than all of the Yuppies’ combined and has worked for more big companies than any of us can shake a stick at. She is mild-mannered, soft-spoken, and wears glasses… hmm. We’re pretty sure she’s not a masked vigilante or a superhero – as far as we know anyway.

Ahorney hasn’t contributed to this website, not by much anyway, but if he did, the world will be an angrier, funnier place.
