I started this morning in the very best of spirits, a touch later than usual as the power was out in my apartment. This could have started the morning out terribly, but it didn�t. I woke up to pee, noticed the blinking light on the VCR, surmised the cause and found it to be not much later than when I normally get up. So all was well. Arrived at work. And began the soul sucking moments that make for my fascinating life.
On Friday I was involved in a practical joke. It was a prank phonecall where I played an irate gentleman whose life partner had succumbed to a nameless disease and with whose bitter ex-wife I was contesting the will, tying up all our assets until the dust settled, and I needed an extension. It seems that my emotional tirade carried throughout the office, and so I�ve been dealing with that fall out. It�s annoying, especially the people that have heard the story second/third/whatever hand. It�s my own fault. I wasn�t thinking about office acoustics or professionalism. And the karmic payment for that being enacted is quite steep. So, let this serve as a warning. Only crank call from conference rooms and hard wall offices. Don�t trust your co-workers who you�ve worked with for years, baked for, spent countless hours and moments with over the years to defend or even stand by you. They like the temps better than you anyway.
