20 going on 12


The big computer switch out was today….

It came complete with a 12 year old technician and a whole host of glitches and anomalies.

Totally fantastic!!

Thankfully I’m that super sweet, super funny office lady with the infections laugh.

My desk was a mass of tangled cords and wires when the 12 year old was done. I was staring at it in disgust, side glancing in anger, wrinkling my nose in disbelief when Deputy Don noticed my frustration.

“What’s up?”

“Look at my desk….. Ugh!!”

“Um, yep. That’s unsightly.”

He immediately went to work organizing, hiding, and zip tying the hot mess. He then went on to download my print drivers, citrix, and set up my home buttons and links.

Thank God for amazing coworkers....

My work BFF was also in today for a department meeting, I don't get to cross paths with him as much anymore in his new role.

I do miss him.

He pulled me aside after the afternoon meeting to ask me if I was ok. He noticed in the meeting that I just didn't look myself, and I haven't looked myself the past few times we'd worked together.

I smiled and told him I was fine, I just had a lot of stuff on my mind these days.

We ended up talking for about 45 minutes....

45 minutes of free therapy. There are very few people who I can talk to about life stuff who will actually take the time to listen and do it judgement free without telling everybody and their brother all my secrets.

He is one of them.

Really? I don't always notice when I'm receiving an IM, I tend to get focused on the blogs.

    Lol. Youngsters just dont take pride in their work. I would love to hear your infectious laughter beautiful x
He heard us talking about how young he looked. Lol. He told me he was 20 and it only bothered him when 12 year olds not on him. Lol. He was probably trying to get out of the offices as fast as possible.

    I liked this one

    I work with young people

    and, sometimes, they look at me, like, really, you didn't know that

    the other day, one of them traded my 25 inch monitor for their 37 inch monitor

    I couldn't believe it, I thought there must be a catch

    perhaps, they were going to throw in a charity fuck or somethin' with someone

    you can't believe millenials thought processes these days

    but, there it was a super duper monitor, and nothing in exchange other than my smaller monitor

    for the next couple of weeks, people kept asking me about my "special" monitor

    I just told them that if they ate their Cheerios every morning, said their prayers at night, and were good to everyone they knew, and believed in the human race, that they might end up in heaven, but, that they would never get a deal like the one I got, because it is better to believe that you are special and lucky than a rocket scientist and unlucky

    just sayin'

    reminded me of this

    The Who - "Be Lucky"

    Be lucky, gotta make it your own
    Get it from a bottle or squeeze it from a stone
    Might not remember the best way home
    But come December, you won't won't be alone
    Be Lucky
    (Better not forget, oh no)
    Be Lucky
    (A very simple thing)
    Be Lucky
    (Better make a bet, uh huh)
    Be lucky
    (Or you might never win)
    Be lucky, place your bet
    Don't put it on a nag who ain't done nothin' yet
    Make sure it was born in the Ramborn Hills
    A Kentucky farm could pay your bills
    You wanna travel across the great divide
    You really gotta have some luck on your side
    You wanna climb without a safety line
    AC/DC, it's gonna be fine
Maybe he was getting a new monitor anyway, and didn't mind trading it out to send the smaller one to ewaste? I actually prefer a smaller monitor, I sit to close to the computer for a large one.

I'm now at an age where I'm generally older than most of my coworkers.... I don't really feel it, but it's fact. At least I look younger than I am....

Yes, he is. A co-worker had said something behind my back, to him, and he totally went off on them. I never knew about it until the y fessed up to me, assuming he had told me, and tried to play it off as teasing. Loyalty can be kinda rare.....

And, I know what you're thinking, he's 26, married, and has the cutest little baby. So, no, he doesn't have a crush on me. Lol
