Turns out my day ain't that bad after all

I was going to post about how crazy ass busy I have been the past two weeks. I was going to moan and whine about how I keep finding myself trapped in my cubicle at 5:30, 6:30, 7:45 (I am normally scheduled to leave at 4:30). There was planned a commentary on how at the bottom of the ladder "salary" just means less pay and more hours. I had a good vent session ready to go. But then I scanned my regular reads and found this from Schmidlap and it all went out the window. Nothing I could even dream of coming up with could compare, suddenly the late nights, the empty train rides, and the aching muscles didn't matter anymore. No day I have lived this week, last week, or in recent memory could be worse. So next time you're feeling bad, give it a read and I guarantee your day will seem filled with sunshine and rainbows. I also guarantee you will wish blogs came with a PO box to send some kind of pick-me-up six pack to.



So instead, I will share with you some highlights of this week and the upcoming days ahead...upcoming, ahead, is that repetitive?

Earlier this week a coworker and I are pretty sure the couple in the elevator with us was about to have sex...while we were still there, and are almost positive that they did have sex in the stairwell after they left us. Yesterday I played rock, paper, scissors with a different co-worker to see who would be responsible for doing follow up calls to secure prizes for our upcoming benefit. I won. I now firmly believe all delegation of work responsibilities should be handled in this manner. Monday my awareness walking friend called me twice on the train to get my opinion on dresses she found for me at the Salvation Army for the upcoming James Bond fundraiser she's hosting. Most of the conversation revolved around the fact that I couldn't actually see the dresses and that no, I didn't know what a Limited size 7 meant. Didn't matter - the one she found (and bought) fits like a glove and is adorable, I may even be able to find a way to wear my favorite velvet Chuckies with it...and if I'm really luck I can incorporate my new fingerless pink gloves with the rhinestoned skull and crossbones pattern. Did you know that according to Google spellcheck (and probably the rest of the world) that "rhinestoned" is not a word?

This weekend (and Monday) is the wrap up of March Madness, and while it's disappointing to have four #1 seeds in the Final Four I am still way more excited than I should be for the last three games. Next weekend I get to deal black jack (as soon as I learn how) to help my friends raise money and one of my closest, dearest friends is coming down from Madison to visit - all around fun times. I have a new comic book series to delve into and it's supposed to be 60 degrees this weekend. All in all as 4:30 approaches and I slow down in my work it looks like it's going to be a good next few days.
