meh

I have taken to keeping a graph in my office of my happiness/rage status throughout the week.
this graph is nice, but it also shows me that I have some serious fluctuations in emotion throughout the work day.
one day:
starts high in happiness because I have a plan for the day, some open time to get stuff done
swift decent to fury as I read an email from a buffoon who asks a stupid question
rise back up to elation as I create a fabulous spreadsheet
smiles and happiness as I talk to my favorite customer and she does everything I suggest
rage when I re-read that email above
frustration with myself for not sending that email to another location and having too many emails in my inbox and never getting them done
anger that it is now the end of the day and I have three things that I didn't get done
some happiness that I say screw it and just leave work.


PS - I had a wacky dream last night... I dreamt that I was talking to Bea Arthur (right... like why her???) and she said, I lost all of my money. I only have 150 dollars left to my name, and that is just enough to go to Patrick Henry's.
I didn't know what Patrick Henry's was. But then I found out (in the dream) that it was a euthanasia hospital where they killed you with lethal injection (and then I spotted someone being brain scrambled through their nose, that wasn't really consistent with the lethal injection, so I was confused when I woke up about that) and then you had also bought a coffin. I remember seeing a sign with the prices - Euthanasia - 80.00, Coffin 50.00

thoughts on this:
1) Bea Arthur?
2) why did my brain name the hospital for a Revolutionary War hero?
3) no taxes at the euthanasia hospital
4) so, perhaps you can order off the menu and get a lobotomy at Patrick Henry's Euthansia Hospital?

am I insane?

oh! another happily just walked into the room!

Yeaaaa for Workstation Steve!

 

He smiles at me a lot and makes me feel squishy inside.

If we ever end up in a bar intoxicated together I can’t be responsible for what happens.

I haven't seen Whitney in a long time

I haven't seen Whitney in a long time. I realized this when I saw today's lunch menu and thought of him.

I had the Philadelphia pepper pot soup today and it was delicious. not terribly spicy, but complex. just as I expected.

Some sort of training

Airline gate agents must receive some sort of training that when
things aren't going right: never answer any questions. None. Don't
even acknowledge a question was asked. No slowing, no short pause like
any human would do. No!

They must drill them in airline agent school. It would take an awful
lot of reinforcement to get such consistent behavior.

After the ignore all questions course, they must embark on intense
constant, rhythmic typing for at least six hours a day.

plane happenings

1) it isn't auspicious to be watching breaking news about a plane being downed in the Hudson River as you get ready to board your flight.
2) There are highs and lows when flying:
- the high of boarding the final leg home - on time! going to get home before midnight!
- the low of realizing your seat is right next to the lavatory
- the high of realizing that there are only three open seats on the plane, and one is next to you!
- the low of hearing that they need two volunteers to move to the back of the plane
- the high of having those volunteers pick the other two open seats!
- the low of hearing the pilot say that they still need one more person to move to the back of the plane.

sigh.
