The Reputation Spreads
It's no secret I'm slammin' busy with work. And honestly, it's really pretty ugly. But it's getting better. Every day there's another marker down.
AND best of all, I'm keeping my promise to myself. I'm laughing every day. There's a girl down in Corp that I adore. I had talked with her a few times before my trip down there and we had a chance to spend some quality time together during my trip. I like her. She's funny.
Anyway - this morning I wake up to a slew of emails. Mostly from her. One had a document in it that I would have given my eye teeth for 2 days ago. They just found it. So you know I had to respond........
To: My buddy at Corp
From: Tammi
Dateline: THE Valley, IL

There was an earthshaking explosion today in the quiet valley outside of Rockford Illinois. As emergency workers rushed to the scene they found something very curious.
There, in the front yard sat a woman amongst the ruins of what WAS a home. Early speculations are that her HEAD EXPLODED!!
Just kidding. Was that generated FROM my matrix or do we have these on other accounts already out there?
I gotta go buy toilet paper. It’s lookin’ like a sh*tty day!!!
Her response?
It doesn't mention that she was in her jammies
Now tell me. How can you NOT like someone like that??? Cracked me up!
That's priceless... I don't care how angry, worried or tired you are, someone makes you laugh unexpectedly and the world looks just a little better... ;)
Posted by: pam at July 12, 2007 11:58 AMWe've had quite a few tit-a-tat's over my impression of your work-effort / reward relationship.
I don't know if I've said it before, but I'm much more comfortable with your situation now. You are putting in lots of work, but I can see that you are recognized and rewarded for it. And the impact it has on you as a person is huge. Even though your work situation is tough, you are still positive. I could sense it this weekend and I'm very happy for you that such positive things are going well in your life. I think they are a result of your hard work and positive attitude. But I also think you are handling the stresses well.
When is the next long holiday so we can have another informal get together? One that requires almost no planning other than a hotel and a date?
(Oooh, that didn't sound good, did it?) :evil grin:
