Thrive to spite them

Also in work news I got a lapel pin! I've gotten other ones, but this is the "President's Club". I had no idea what it was and someone just handed it to me and wandered off so I had to track down why I got it.

I was named MVP for my division (not department but sub department I guess) for the going above and beyond during the holiday rush.

It's a little thing but it's cool to have.

And then I realized I gave someone the wrong information over the phone but it started with one question and then she kept adding questions and I couldn't get someone more knowledgeable on the phone and she didn't want to leave a message because she needed an answer in about half an hour and I couldn't promise that someone could get back to her. I think she could have some of what she wanted just not all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's a little thing but it's cool to have.

MVP sounds like more than a little thing. That's great!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That's great, askye - your hard work deserves recognition! It seems odd that they make so little fuss over that that you had no idea that you were getting recognized, though.

There were several other people getting the pins and I think they made an announcement during a morning meeting, and I've been working closing shifts lately.

Our wings are not tired.

This is a sad lonely thread and I am buried in work. I would make it better otherwise.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Go, askye!

I've got nothing. My Spring allergies have kicked in despite the fact that it is still below freezing, and I can't brain.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm at work and WAY TOO BUSY. Not too busy for Buffistas, but too busy to think.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Work is actually slow for me. Or I just don't have the motivation to have that go get 'em attitude.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have both. I'd like to go over my lines, but hauling out a highlighted script in the middle of work would probably send the wrong message.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ask somebody to run lines with you! Pretend it's "role play" job training! That would work, right?

Man, I feel you. If I could get back all the time I spent in indentured servitude while stuff that needed doing went unaccomplished... I could add *years* to my life. Unfortunately it would be years in my 80s and 90s, when winning at bingo would be the high point of my day, rather than rock-climbing or cutting a demo or building houses for Habitat. ...which, let's be clear, would not have been what I was doing with that time I was held an inactive captive in the office. But there would have been more clean laundry and more errands taken care of, and more books read and discussed.
