THE NEW PROJECT20:02 Sep 17 2009
Times Read: 792
My boss asked if I wanted to tackle a new project that would require my ability to organize, my meticulous attention to detail, and my super-keen interpersonal skills.
Naturally, I jumped at the chance. I mean, I don't have much else to do right now so I have plenty of time to devote to a new project. Perhaps they need me to work on a new business pitch, or organize a focus group, or manage a brainstorming session...
Sure, I said, I'd love to!
What is this new project, you might ask?
It's the company football pool.
And, hell yeah, I'm in charge!
'cos, ya know, it sure beats work.
*puts feet on desk and counts money*
I can't wait to get on the intercom in the morning and announce:
Turn in your picks by 5pm, cash only, no checks, no whining. Thank you.
ROUND 318:36 Sep 14 2009

Another round of lay-offs at work. Two people were laid-off this morning around 9am.
It's strange. No one's talking.
People walk by each other in the halls and avoid eye contact. They look at their shoes and don't speak. All the managers and vice presidents are in a meeting and the rest of us are running around pretending to be too busy to notice.
I think I survived this round, but it's so hard to tell.
I'm going to hide out in my office for a while.

5:00pm. I just caught a glitch the accounting software that almost caused us to under-bill our client $40,000-$50,000
My reward?
I get to work on it until it's fixed!
yay me!
One little problem, boss: I'm not in the accounting department. But it's after 5pm and they all left for the day. I'm taking one for the team by doing it by myself.
I'm going to remember this the next time someone says I'm not a "team player".
Weasels.
They're all weasels.

Funny, I was at city hall today troubleshooting a printer... and the woman was complaining that it stopped printing properly when she tried printing her football pool...
...right in front of the comptroller.
Needless to say, that didn't go over well.
