so…this morning, while enduring my marathon of a commute to the train station (okay, it’s only a mile, but at 5:15am everything feels magnified!), I was flipping through the radio stations. I got about 5 stations in on my presets when I was struck by a Mack truck of sound, and I spun headlong into […]

so…the Red Sox won the World Series — yay!
so…the City of Boston is having a “rolling rally” for the Red Sox today — boo!
large crowds stress me out. I don’t get stressed out at the game — those people belong there — but the thousands of extra people standing outside my office building, and taking […]

so…two posts in one morning…some strange is afoot…
actually, nothing strange, just three more things…
to counter the effects of the 5 people in the office that MUST turn on ALL of the overhead lights in the office WITHOUT warning, I need to invent a “cone of darkness.” It would be like the “cone of silence” on […]

so…

having the Intern wear a tie everyday for the last week has worn me down, and I’m wearing a tie today!
We’ve got a meeting out at one of the district offices today, so it should be interesting to see the reactions…

so…it’s been almost two years since I’ve worked in a building where I’ve needed a key to get into the Men’s room, yet I still reach for my keys almost every single time.

I’ve been fight a sinus headache for about a week, and I think without the normal fog that I’m in during the early morning hours the headache is taking every […]

so…when you were in, oh, maybe, kindergarten, or first grade, were you taught to always walk on the right when on the stairs or in a hallway?
well, nobody that I work with was EVER taught that!
AND they like to walk side-by-side down the hallway that only has room for two people…and look at you […]

so…yesterday turned out to be the longest work day I’ve had in 6-7 years: 6am - 9 pm.
True, there was a quarterly business meeting last night that might have involved some drinks, but seriously, how relaxing is a drink if you’re talking about work?

Yesterday, being Thursday, the local Classic Rock station was pulling off a […]

so…the timestamp on my ticket for the parking garage this morning read 5:56 AM.
That’s a whole 50 minutes earlier than I normally get in…
Today is going to be a long day…

so…I just got this email from Erika:

That just made my day.
