No rest for the wicked - the hectic pace continues. However there is hope - a headcount is being replaced and we have someone new joining the department this week- a rare feat considering the current economic conditions. In the meantime am chanting 'dont stress, its only work' to self on a daily basis. It must be working, last night for the first time in ages I did not sleep talk 'action points' to Bubba D when he woke up in the middle of the night.
Talking of 'action points' and other such words, am very happy to hear/read that some outfits have
decided to do away with these corporate jargon (read crap). Am however surprised to find that 'platform' and worst 'deep dive' are not included in the list. As my friend Mrs Scoot pointed out, what next? 'Snorkeling for more information'?

Someone from the mailroom (whom I dont know very well but speak to quite regularly re: couriering documents here and there) at the workplace snorkelled the shallow waters of Facebook and found me amongst the planktons (eeks). He sent me a sweet note and has asked me to be a friend (double eeks). I did not quite know how to deal with it so I accepted (triple eeks).
No offence to the man himself as I think he is a nice enough guy. However not so sure how I feel (or rather know how I feel but not saying it?) about someone from the mailroom (i.e. place where news is disseminated to all) knowing me on a Facebook basis (quadruple eeks).
How is it that I have managed to not accept any work friends (whom I know well) but did not have the gumption to decline an invite from the mailroom chap.
I wonder if he would notice if I deleted him from the friends list.
