Well, it’s around 3:30 AM now and I can’t sleep. I should be exhausted. Today ranks among the most intense days of my professional career. Let me recap today’s events.
Got to sleep in till 6:30 today! This is a very good thing since it happens very rarely during the work week. My first stop was my old office. I have become the unofficial mail carrier for my team. I don’t mind at all either. Every time mail needs picked up I get to either sleep in or leave work early. Both are fine with me.
Ok, so once I got to the current office I realized something was up. Everyone was talking in those low, “I don’t want the guy in the next cube to hear us” voices. I came to find out that the company was having another round of layoffs. Then to compound the hysteria one of the team members said they had seen a “Confidential” envelope on our boss’s desk. Gossip flew about what that could mean. Was our project cancelled? Did we still have jobs? Was the sky still blue? Stuff like that.
I tried my best not to get caught up in the moment since the end result had already been decided and was out of my hands. But, it didn’t work. After retiring to the clean room to try and get some work done I returned to my cube to find the now infamous envelope on my desk chair.
So, I picked it up and opened it but didn’t take the paper out of it. For a second time kind of slowed down. I pulled the letter out and this is what it said: SUMMARY OF YOUR INSURANCE POLICY.
I couldn’t stop laughing for like 15 minutes. I was the first in the group to open the letter so they all thought I cracked. Anyway, all’s well and I still have a job. I would like to know what idiot decided that today of all days would be a good time to release a document like this. Probably the same person that thinks gas could put out a fire. Uggg
The rest of the day was useless. Add a little excitement to an office setting and everyone goes nuts. The production staff wanted to know what the team status was (I didn’t know but I suspect they think I was lying).
OH! Loki’s exercise pen arrived today. He now has more square footage than I do at work. Hmm.
14 days left!! All are welcome that weekend. For those that can’t make it fear not. I will be taping it!! Yes, I am just that obsessed.
This next bit is for Nick. I apologize for not mentioning the excursion that you, myself, and Scott took to McFlys. A fun time was had by all. And, as is customary, we ended up at Denny’s talking about life the universe and everything. Good times, good times. By the way Nick, I saw that you also failed to mention the evening on you page. Those who live in glass houses, huh ;-p
Well, it’s 4ish now. Time to try sleep again. Later
