the things i have learned

As I said before, I am in charge of Marie's farewell, Beer and Oysters on the beach. As I said before, I am not fond of either of these items. But luckily, Pierre is going to manfully step up on the seafood end and order the oysters and assume responsibility when the bill comes to something ridiculous and Earnesto chokes on his redbull when he has to sign the invoice. Way to go Pierre. I deeply appreciate you for this.

Still, this leaves the beer to me, not a beer aficionado. I was told it needed to be a keg. I have definitely never gotten a keg. Unless you are talking about a keg of hot chocolate for cold carolers, that I have done more than once, along with the stocking of one Pink Pam Manner's Silver Samovar with wedding punch. That's just how I roll. But kegs, no, not in my line.

But apparently in my line of duty. I now have to find the most recent male college graduate and find out how one goes about this. Maybe I'll charm someone into taking this one over. If not, I will be sure to add it to my skill set on my resumé: Able to Procure Kegs on appropriate occasions.

Maybe one day I will show you a brief glance at my resumé. It has become something of a joke.

So it was written, so it was put on the free table

Thinking about that last incident, I was pining a bit for cake, but all I had was apples and peanut butter. I went to wash my apple, and my coworker was just dropping a chocolate cake off on the free table. I had a slice and it was delicious - whipped cream, strawberries. Delightful! Score that one to Team Positivity. Now, maybe next week I will write about the man of my dreams and see if this trend continues.

Team Positivity Strikes Again

More Later, I think I have to go to sleep so I can go to work to waste time tomorrow, but thought I would give an update.

UPDATE:
Last night I decided that I would retry Team Positivity, which is not an organized team in a uni and matching socks sort of manner, but more a group of individuals that believe in things such as personal mantras like "Something wonderful is going to happen today." Notice it isn't, "Today is going to be wonderful." That's just too much to believe every day, even for Team Positivity.

I have tried T.P. before, and usually it is short lived. The sarcasm gene is alive and present in me, I'm, afraid, and I can be critical. (Warning: that last sentence was a gross understatement) But in the past I have always been forced to turn in my metaphorical jersey in when I succumb to sneering at optimism.

But yesterday they decided on the final course of office moves, and my office is being cut by 1/3. And I'm okay with that. Not that I am not having occasional panic attacks about how to fit things and arrange Earnesto's office, but I can handle it. Thanks to my new subscription to Positivity Today.

I can make a list of things that are positive about the move. Let me share:

• It means that Rusty no longer will know where my desk is , curtailing his obnoxious tendency to needlessly walk by repeatedly. In essence; I won't be stalked so much.
  
• Earnesto's office will no longer have a large window onto the main hallway, cutting down on people making faces at him while he is on conference calls. It will also eliminate the possibility of this one guy Flashing Earnesto again. ( He was trying to get his attention)
• I won't be in charge of answering the front door anymore. Meaning I'll have a lot more time to waste uninterrupted.
• I may get a new desk, since my current one (I hate it) is too big for the space I'm going into.
• I will be by a working printer
• I'm leaving in two months.

So the last point isn't a benefit of the move, but it is what has me reconciled to the chaos. And also back on the team.
