productive day

Today was not a great day in slacking. In fact, I got very little slacking done at all today.

It all started on the bus. On the ride to work, it came to me . . . the first part of our drinking song that my band is going to do. It goes like this . . .

Well I'm feeling so hollow
In my troubles I'll wallow
So pour me a Colt .45

When I wake up tomorrow
I'll feel no more sorrow
Cause I'll drown them in Colt .45

Awesome!!!!

Work was crazy. Today was employee appreciation day. In my previous stints, employee appreciation day was employee appreciation week. And it was alway the worst week for the mailroom. It meant more work. We had extra stuff to deliver throughout the office (and for some reason, they couldn't go with mail, they had to go extra.) We had extra conference rooms to set up. And, if someone didn't get the extra stuff, rather than just calling and asking they would chew us out. Great appreciation week!!!! So, I was relieved to find out that we were only being appreciated for a day. But, it was a busy day. Stuff went wrong. People panicked. We had to hear about it. But, by noon, things were back in control.

Then after lunch, my boss comes into the mailroom and asks me how long I was going to be in school. I told him I wasn't sure (which is true, and that's another story.) He then told me that another firm was looking for someone to run their mailroom and asked if I was interested. Full time with benefits. Anyway, that suprised me, because I was pretty sure I wasn't even on his radar. So, I may be getting a new job.

Then when I got off work, it was time to get ready for FOCUS. I was scheduled to run sound tonight. But yesterday, John tells me he is going out of town and needs me to fill in. Which I'm happy to do, but that's not much time to prepare. So, I am running all around town getting some stuff together for tonight, then I get to the coffeehouse and start helping set up the sound stuff. Luckily, I did a bad enough job mixing the sound that JP decided to run it for me. So, that freed me up to focus on the "guy thing".

Anyway, I thought things went pretty well. I was really glad we did the "guy thing" that we did. We should do more to encourage the women. They (or you, if you are one of them) are awesome.

Anyway, there was one thing I really feel like I messed up tonight. It's haunting me.

So, I just read through this post and it makes no sense. I'm tired. Maybe I'll fix it tomorrow.

Peace out!
