Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, my work outing for lunch that was supposed to take most, but not all, of the day, turned into a huge clusterfuck when apparently the van broke down and we had to wait extra hours to leave and then got caught in mad traffic. Luckily, some ballsy coworker got us a special Queens drop-off instead of having to sit in the bus all the way back to the office.

So yeah, today I got two awards (as a part of the teams) for a couple of projects which have been EATING MY BRAIN this past year. Wait, 2 years in one case. I've gotten a team award before that I was all, yeah, whatever, because it just needed warm bodies for data transcription. But these two? These I clutch to my bosom and go HELLS YEAH. I was a very important part of them. I've worked my ass off on them. These have been under the scrutiny of the gods.
Plus it was kinda cool that it was the guy who originally hired me who presented them (he was the department head at the time, he's directorate now.)
So I'm feeling a little preeny.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Preen on, sarameg. Awards as the result of hard work means the universe is doing something right!
