Monday, Monday

Another work-related post! I'll have to share all the good times from this weekend with Monica and Cory, but that will have to wait until I have a bit more time to devote.

Today's post is brought to you by The Mamas and The Papas to the tune of "Monday, Monday".

Monday, Monday,
So good to me.
Monday, Monday,
It was all I hoped it would be.

I deviated from my routine Friday afternoon when I left work... resulting in a co-worker meeting me on the shoulder of the road outside the base to hand-deliver my CAC card. Given my abhorrence to others seeing my mistakes/flaws, you might imagine how embarrassed I was to make the call to GeeDub. But the world didn't fall off its axis and I managed to survive the wee bit of teasing. Actually, I was surprised at the lack thereof...

Today was a great day - so great was it that it doesn't even need any qualifiers like "for a Monday". Nothing spectacular occurred, just another day where I drive home amazed at how much I love my job, co-workers, lack of stress, etc. There may be a downside to all this happiness though, I've discovered. I'm not a slow driver, ahem. I also am skilled at navigating winding country roads at, shall we say, rather exciting speeds. Normally there is just enough traffic - and just enough of my conscience - to keep from zipping down Coll-Arl Rd. at breakneck speed. Normally. To make matters worse, song after song (to which I was, of course, singing lead) was upbeat and in tempo with my mood. Thank goodness I never passed a cop... lol. In between songs, I would notice the speed and slow back down... but the next song would always suck me in to it again.

Travel arrangements were made today for the NOLA trip. Window seats in the front, king-sized bed all to myself.

Discovered what I am calling "The Avenue" with PukaBuddy today at lunch. A long expanse of grass flanked by massive oaks along the entire expanse. I was immediately in one of my Anne moods and could have just lain on the grass there for hours on end.

Oh! How could I forget - I'm working at getting my 8th grade English counterpart a spot as doc spec at work. She is currently, in fact, at the interview at Bennigan's. Just like mine. I hope she gets/takes the job! Guess I'll have to call her up tomorrow to find out! :)

And - hahaha... I have heard rumor that two co-workers really got into it today. What I would have given to have seen that! Oh my.... classic. And long over due apparently. Tomorrow will be interesting. I think I'd rather have a pic-a-nic-esque lunch on the trail behind my building, especially if the farewell lunch is strained and awkward.... but I'll have to wait and see how things play out. Now, if I cop out of the lunch like I was rather planning, it will look like I'm snubbing certain people and taking sides after the fight. The last thing I want is to play - or appear to be playing - stupid games. I'd much rather be Switzerland.
