I think most Cubies find that Thursday is a great day - tomorrow is Friday and that means we are almost through the week. 

As I sit here listening to Muppet Techno I'm moderately amused that my co-workers moving about almost seem to be dancing to the rhythm pouring out of my ipod.  What a strange dream this could be - or CD's had just a bit too much coffee this morning.  Whatever it is, I think I'll hit repeat in 35 seconds to liven things up for another 5 minutes.

Did I mention the Gerbil is the devil?  Or at least that is what she was proclaiming to anyone who would listen.  Apparently her friend gave up pastries for Lent, so she took a photo of a big pile of pastries and sent it to her friend.  Then she danced around singing, "I am the devil!  I am the devil!"  Someone actually replied, "And what took you so long to figure that out?"

Nn du Nn du Nn du ...

... a little eavesdropping.

As I stumbled my way toward the restroom this morning I heard a stern yet pleading voice down an adjacent hallway.  It was the Gastric Cougar - in all her 60's swirl dress knee high pleather boot glory having a very heated conversation on her cell phone.

We locked eyes for a moment as I glanced down the hallway to verify who I was listening into.  Quickly I turned my head, turned the opposite direction and banged my way into the bathroom.  I felt a little embarrassed for her.  As I left the bathroom she was now pacing the hallway saying, "These are things we have to work though.  We can work through them!"

Sounds like someone is being dumped by her 18 year old boy toy and sadly on Valentine's Day.

I've never been one to use the toilet while I'm on the phone unless I absolutely have to, or it's my best friend.

Today, I really didn't have a choice.

The janitor came into the bathroom just as I began spelling relief and at the same moment a voice came on over her walkie talkie, " ... you copy?" 

*Sheeeeeeeeee "Yeah, I copy" eeeeeeeeeee*

Everyone within a 10 ft radius of the other janitor had the audible pleasure of hearing me pee as they continued their short two way conversation.
