So today was weird.
Its usually cold in the city, but not puffer-jacket cold. With scarf and jacket, I was still freezing as I waited for my fucking muni to arrive…it never did. Instead, some weird shuttle bus picked us up (after waiting 35 min for it) and then dropped us off 1 stop down the street. One fucking stop. “The muni is coming, so I have to let you off.” Ummm…Everyone piled off and cluster-fucked in the street. I said fuck this and walked in my shitty shoes (we’ll get to that later) to the BART – a gazillion blocks away.
My coworker and I took a 2 hr lunch. We didnt give a shit.
At our all-hands meeting–something I have been dreading for the entire week, and something that lasted over 1.5 hrs, I received a shout-out for all the shit I went through during xmas. Then, at the end of the meeting, when the “Employee of the Month” award is given out, the CEO started to read a poem. Towards the middle of the poem, I started thinking…uh…that kind of sounds like what I do…and that kind of sounds like something my manager would write. So…you’re looking at the newest Employee of the Month. And it turns out the VP wrote the poem. And it also turns out that a shitload of people nominated me. And…it also turns out that I get a $200 gift certificate (to be used at our company of course but whatever–Bose Sound Dock here I come?)
