Welcome to the official Twitter page of the “I Just Work Here” column, a Chicago Tribune workplace column that, interestingly enough, has yet to be printed. Yes, this is a Twitter page for something that doesn’t quite yet exist. But it will. Soon. I promise.

The column will debut on Tuesday, May 31, and will then run every Monday in the business section of the Chicago Tribune and online at chicagotribune.com/IJustWorkHere. Along with winning lots of awards and becoming really popular and famous, the column will take questions from human beings about matters work-related, anything from job surviving to job searching to job hating to job despising to the best way to convince your officemates that a co-worker suffers from severe and uncontrollable flatulence.

The answers will contain actual answers – likely ones that come from actual people who know stuff. But I reserve the right to insert my own thoughts and opinions, and to veil all answers in a layer of levity that will provide what we in the news biz call “readability.” The hope is that “I Just Work Here” becomes a part of the stuff you read while you’re at work and not really working, an ongoing conversation among the bunch of us that, whether we like it or not, must toil for a living and occasionally endure words like “feasibility” and “collaboration.”

Please start sending me questions about issues big or small. You might be one of the questions we use in the very first column. Reach me through Facebook, by e-mail at rhuppke@tribune.com or, of course, on The Twitter.

Thanks.
