Dec. 2nd, 2004 07:47 amToday what makes me happy is last night at work.
Apparently, Jan really likes me. She didn't even mention my brown - not khaki - pants, and when I was an hour late because the schedule change had not been properly relayed (something that is generally a huge deal), she just said, "Oh that's ok. We're glad you're here now."
Then the security guard was hanging out with us behind the desk goofing off with us between calls, and when he had to run a call, he offered to let me ride along, so I did, and he showed me all the new units, which burned up a good hour. The desk was soooo slow last night, and apparently this is something we're supposed to do when it's slow, which is even better than doing it behind management's back:)
When we got back, Ross was doing impressions. Ross's impressions are the funniest thing ever. Ever. I mean it. First he did Crocodile Hunter in Spanish (Ross doesn't speak Spanish). Then he did his impression of eating a girl out, where he gets sucked all the way into her netherregions. Then he did gymnastics. Then we all calmed down and were sitting in the back, when he came in with a life size snowman from our holiday display and began rolling around on the desk with it. He also placed the snowman behind the front desk like it was trying to check in...I guess these things don't seem too funny, but on a boring night at work, it's pure hilarity. We were all in tears. The good kind.
I also finished my preliminary preparations for the presentation I have to give today. Basically we all present a case out of our textbook on environmental ethics. I have the Silent Spring and its repercussions to deal with. The problem is, we're supposed to draw on data that's not in the reading to add to our presentation. Have I done this? No. Do I know where to start? No. It wouldn't be in a philosophy textbook if it wasn't a thourough article to begin with! Okay, it might be, but not this one. I feel like I have little more than opinion to add to it. Sigh. At least I'm the first of two today so I'm kind of expected to keep it short and sweet.
Yesterday's presentation went very well. I used the whole hour. I was proud of myself. Did I get an A? Probably not...but we'll see:) It was fun.
So I should go now to get my shit together for this presentation thing. Think happy thoughts, mkay?
Ooh, before I go, I just wanted to mention to all of my friends who find themselves in funks right now (I know of at least three of you that are but there are probably more), remember that the semester is almost over, and the light is at the end of the tunnel. If you're not a school person, then just remember I love you and you can bitch to me about anything you want. But not about me, please. I don't want to hear that:)
Peace.
