updates and things

Today is the 20th anniversary of our parent company being traded in the stock market.  So, it is free coffee & food day again here at work.  I came in to a line of about 50 people in the lobby, waiting for two baristas to make their coffees for them.  It so happens, I am following this fattish, older lady (seriously, she’s even got a female baldness thing going on.) who just got her coffee and scone.  She presses the button to summon the elevator. Then takes a step back. And another. And another? And another! And another! Here I am following suit so she wouldn’t run into me.  It would have been impossible for her not to see me as she was standing in front of semi-reflective glass.  Finally she stops.  This one guy in line sees me throw my hands in the air while mouthing, "What the fuck?"  He calls my name and starts going, "Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Maxie, don’t get run over!"   

How ironic that this company actually has the words health and management in its name and yet a tour of the building would yield a large majority of its occupants not practicing said words? Ok. I’ll stop. I know I am being mean.

One more thing, the Chicago trip has been moved to May 14th.  My schedule has gone awry and I really don’t even want to think about it anymore.
