About Us

CAROL HARTSELL IS ONLY A MAN
Carol Hartsell likes to use the phrase "sausage-fest" when it comes to talking about her fellow Drink at Work columnists. As the token girl, Carol considers it her duty to supply the Drink at Work community with beauty tips ("Try not to get in my way when I'm in a punchin' mood..."), recipes ("Maker's + Ice = You live another day"), and celebrity gossip ("Ooo, Hooper's on again!"). Carol is one of the founders of Drink at Work.com, as well as its producer, co-writer and Webmaster. She goes to more comedy shows than might be considered wholesome, has metal rods in her back and gets a little fighty when she drinks. She's also from Alabama and will kill you quick as look at you.

COREY PANDOLPH'S ANGRY EYEBROWS
Corey "Fake Rockstar" Pandolph came to life through a series of operations, Government grants and "happy" mishaps in the High Peaks of the Adorondack Mountains. Initially trained as a covert operative for the Boy Scouts of America, Corey soon found cold beer and fast women. After several run-ins with Scout leaders, a brief affair with a Cub Scout Den Mother and one Eagle Scout's "accidental" death through the thin May ice of Upper Saranac Lake, Corey was relived of his duties. Homeless, penniless and ugly, Pandolph set out to hone his cartooning and comedic skills. Many rejections and death threats later, Corey has found himself living a comfortable life as a wealthy giant in the industry. His cartoons have found their way into Mad Magazine, Sesame Street, MTV, United Media and Universal Press. He currently write for Drink at Work, The Bollard.com and writes and draws the nationally syndicated strip, The Elderberries, as well as his own online comic, Barkeater Lake. Corey has also written and produced the live comedy sketch show "One More for Johnny" in Portland, Maine, where he currently resides with his hot wife, three dogs and a crippling alcohol problem.

SEAN CRESPO WILL TEACH YOU SATIRE
Sean Crespo, or El Crespo as he is known in Latin American countries, was born and raised in Framingham, Massachusetts just outside of Boston, where he began performing standup comedy at the age of 16. At the same time he honed his writing skills as the creator of a successful humor website, The Sweaty Pit, and as a writer for the satirical newspaper The Weekly Week. After a brief stint at Emerson College, Sean moved to London, where he received a degree from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Which, by the way, is in London and is considered by many to be better than Julliard, Yale and Al Pacino combined. After LAMDA, Sean made his way to Los Angeles where an amusing eviction and ensuing poverty led to a temporary case of homelessness. This in turn led to a lucrative career as a medical research test subject. Eventually, Sean began working as a writer for the new National Lampoon, and has since written for various publications including Cracked and Jest. He also co-wrote and acted in the award-winning short film series I Am Drugs. He's done a lot of other stuff too, but this is all the space we're giving the egomaniac.
