S: Yeah.  We can talk about company inefficiency…
A: Seriously.  I just feel like I’m shooting in the dark…
S: Gah!  What is wrong with me?!
A: Haha, I don’t know.  Monday morning crazies.
S: I mean really, I’m already in the middle of a MNB and I decided it was a good idea to take on another massive insta-deadline project?  I think something must be seriously wrong with me.  It’s the only explanation.

We might have to do some lunches depending on how awful this turns out.

A: I think I could handle some lunches.  Maybe this won’t be as crazy as you think???

S: I sincerely hope so.  In the mean time I’m writing an email to my committee about this conference and I feel like I want to off myself…. Well okay not really.  But at least lock myself in a padded room somewhere :)

A: So what notes did you write down from the meeting about standards you/we weren’t aware of?

S: The whole putting in design hours every time we do a sif?  Personally I think that is no bueno.  It all changes.  But I like the idea of padding the time.  Also hand-writing the locks on the last page.  I’ve done it once or twice, but frankly sometimes I forget.

A: Okay yeah I agree with you, I always tend to forget to automatically put in my hours but I do it if I know it’s the final SIF or if they ask.  As for the locks, I’ve only done 1 lock plan.  I don’t typically get asked to do it by sales or coordinators and since it was never brought up until recently I don’t have it ingrained in my process yet.  It’s a little unsettling.

S: I know right?  Sometimes it feels super lame.

A: Blah, motivation/focus is falling short today. :(

S: Seriously.  The worst.

Do you know, can you use universal worksurfaces with kick panels?

A: You most certainly can.  Universal storage and worksurfaces go with just about all systems.  Hence the name universal. ;)  Or at least I know it goes on kick answer and montage…

S: Gah.  I swear I’m going to implode.

S: Thanks by the way.

A: Our backyard of fertilized chickweed…

S: Hah!  That's hilarious!

A: I love it when I go half the day with one of two buttons undone and my zipper open…

S: Hah!  No way!  That is the perfect way to end a day.

S: I think my desk is a metaphor for my life right now.

A: A mess??

PS this email is starting to take a few moments to open. :)
S: A mess.  Disorganized.  Up to its metaphoric eyeballs in work.  Take your pick.

I’ve noticed that… but it’s worth it.

Four monthiversary is coming up.

A: Now that I look around my desk is quite similar…

Do you know which way is up anymore?

S: What is this “up” of which you speak?  Right now I feel like if you put me on a one-way street I’d get lost.

A: It’s a Disney movie.

S: Nice.

A: Oh you missed it this morning.  J came over to talk about some project and R asked if her jacket was supposed to be wrinkly and she’s like “yeah it’s supposed to be that way!"  Then he was like “well do you want to get rid of that tag?”  She’s like “where?” and he’s like “it’s under your arm.”  G cracked up in an almost embarrassing way.  It was a good entertaining moment in the morning.  She had a client coming in too.

S: Oh man!  I hate it when I miss the good ones!  That’s pretty funny though.
