Whoa were we hammered big-time at work yesterday (and not in the fun alcohol way either)! Geez… the calls were all coming faster than we could take them and countless people were lining up in the room needing some help. Even a 20′ walk to a printer had at least 2-3 people grabbing you for some problem or another. At one time I was on the phone, remote connecting to another PC to fix someone’s problem and swapping parts out of a buggy laptop to a new one to get a guy who really needed it up and running. My compatriots were all just as busy in the trenches as what seemed to be a never-ending plague of problems hit us all at once and the wave just kept a’coming with no end in site.
Dazed, tired and more than a little hungry I dragged my carcass out for a late lunch, snagged a buffet and proceeded to eat everything in sight like a madman. In mid-gorge I began to feel much better, growling at anyone that tried to take my plate, I wolfed down platter after platter of tasty victuals. I stuffed fists full of food into my gaping maw for a solid hour; eating anything and everything I could find. I *know* Vegas is missing a few tourists right now; they came a little too close and I ate them. *urp* I had Korean, Chinese and a little Mexican. Yum! *urrrrrrrrpppp!!!*
When I got back the calls and cries for help had finally abated and things were calm once again. We were all so beseiged, running here and there to help everyone; juggling quite a few things at once, it was so busy and you know what?
I LOVED EVERY @#!%^&ING MINUTE OF IT!
You know why? My coworkers. They’re all so great and (oh I so won’t tell them this out loud) wonderful, funny, smart and relaxed every day is a good one. I lucked into such a great group that truly made me feel welcome and part of them from Day #1. And the best part of it all… they’re twisted, merciless and cruel too. I’m FINALLY surrounded by my peers! Huzzah!
