Brain Dump Part 26,362
Oh mah holy hell, y’all. Thank gawd this week is almost over. Between endless meetings (I’ve been in my office a total of 90 minutes in the past three days) and sleep interrupted by dreams of spreadsheets, I’m beat.
I know I complain, but I really do enjoy my work. The people, for the most part, are fun to be around, they laugh at my jokes (the way to get into my good graces {wink}), and are working just as hard as I am. It makes for a great team and days that, while long and exhausting, fly by. It’s not until I’m packing up to head “home” that I realize I’ve been going for 15 or 16 hours.
I wish I could tell you more about what I do and where I am, but…y’know…then I’d have to kill you. And neither of us would like that much.
So…annyyyyywayyyyyy.

In the randomness of non-work stuff in my mind lately – I decided to complain about other shit. Like…
- Shrink wrap. I mean, really. Why is it necessary to shrink wrap stuff without providing some way of removing said plastic without a sharp object?
- Unshoveled sidewalks. I wear snow boots. I can walk through snow up to my shins. But after all of the train passengers have walked on the uncleared pavement, it’s less like walking through snow and more like walking on shifting boulders.
- Pens that go missing. I just get used to writing with a certain pen and then wham! it’s gone. Why is it that the one I pick up to replace it never, EVER, writes as nice as the one I lost?
- Cold feet. When my feet are cold, it’s all I think about.
- Having to switch glasses to read. Yes, I’ve tried bifocals. No, they don’t help. I need trifocals, but I don’t want the size lenses that I would need to have them. Yes, I am vain, thankyouverymuch.
Okay, I feel better now. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Oh, wait. Why are there not more:
- Hugs.
- Tootsie Rolls.
- Meeting cancellation notices.
- Naps.
- Handwritten letters from far-away friends.
???
Just asking.

Mr. Hot and Shortman texted back and forth today:
Woo Hoo! Campus is closed!
Great! I’ll come pick you up and you can help me shovel.
Woo Hoo! They just re-opened campus!

Finding a package from Alice.com on my doorstep ranks right up there with total awesomeness at the end of a long day. It’s so much easier than lugging home laundry detergent.
