today’s mission[s] besides caffeine

[one].
MISSION: to determine how many times I answer the phone in one day between eight and five, with a lunch break of about thirty minutes.
WHY [such a grand idea] to validate the fact that I am just a robot whenever a phone rings and to alleviate my embarrassment of the cellphone yesterday.
RESULTS: I repeated in a happy perky oh so glad you choose to call “merchandise equipment and supply” how can I serve your needs, even when you ask crazy things or are extremely rude ---- sixty eight times.
MY REACTION: Validation??? I checked marked - - - yes!

[two]
MISSION: went to target in hopes of finding st pattys cheesy wear.
WHY: Because tomorrow I will be part of a bowling team [omg I ask for forgiveness in advance. Calvin may provide a great education but bowling 101 did not increase my skills] in hopes to raise money for my friend beths work’s cause. She has requested, as a team member that we wear something green or st pattyish.
RESULTS: nada. Thank you retail world for skipping current holidays before they happen and jumping to the next. Because everything in the dollar bins at target are now Easter.
MY REACTION: I shall improvise for tomorrows wear. I am sure I have something green and most likely a strand of mardi gras beads lying around, and in my mind that will suffice.

who's calling now?

So today is hump day. Mid week. Rating 1-5 on busy level. I give it a 3.9. trying to multitask after lunch. Figure out some invoice stuff, while talking to colleen and my phone rings. Not my work phone, my cellphone and I answer it while finish the convo with colleen, “merchandise equipment and supply, pause on the other end…” then I bust out laughing. See people it is just habit. I do it like its my j-o-b! Good thing it was just one of our salesman…. who now thinks it is funny to answer his phone that way to me!

On a totally different note: to answer Lindsay question regarding RK mug treats [made it again tonight] It is oh so simple. Just pour the RK in a mug, spray on some butter [yes I have spray butter but I am sure plain old stick butter would work] and add two marshmallows or whatever you see fit on how much gooeyness you want [pull them apart and stir it all together] and microwave for 20-30 seconds and stir again. and then you have a party in your mouth!

sometimes it the little things...

in life that make me

happy happy happy

new clear blue bic pens @ work. hershey bliss chocolate breaks. 7018 on line up[started in the lunch room, lunch was over. strategically ran out of the room, then stood by the copy machine playing. Hoping no darn customers would call or come to the door, thankful no!]. watching dvr ellen. downloading four new songs.[blah blah blah. baby. in my head. need you now] discovering you can make single servings of rice krispie treats in a mug.
