Busiest Morning Ever!

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

It's 6:00 a.m. and as I lay in bed, I'm trying to think of a good reason to get out of going to work. Ah, who am I kidding. I love my job (crazy as that sounds) and although it is by far the most challenging job I have ever had, it sure beats being unemployed. Despite all this though, don't you ever just wake up and you realize what is in store for you at work and just wish you could stay all warm and cozy in bed? You know, hit the snooze button just one...*yawn*...more time. Yeah, you've been there before.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Okay, so I hit it one more time and consequently found myself running around doing a half ass job of ironing, playing with my dogs and packing my left overs for lunch from the night before. I wasn't late, but I was on the cusp. Fun times.

It isn't even 7:30 a.m. when I'm getting text messages from both my Project Managers (PM's) asking me to do this and that for them. Oh, don't even trip - my PM's like to call them "favors". Let's cut the shit people, I am your subordinate and as a contingent worker (temp for hire) I will do just about anything to look good and get hired permanently. Well, almost anything. Just because June is National Gay, Lesbian take it in the booty month don't mean I will do ANYTHING to keep my job. I'm Husky Downs people, not Leonardo DiCaprio. This ain't Basketball Diaries. You'd better "axe" somebody!

Any who, I get into the office and I'm answering calls from clients, team members, Managers etc. I didn't even get a chance to take my usual break in the restroom. That's my time to catch up on my favorite electronic web sites (i.e. Gizmodo, iPhone Alley, IGN, USA Today) or play a level or two of "Angry Birds." I was stuck at my desk putting out fires, scheduling meetings, working on reports and well...pretty much going 100mph. Everything is always DEF CON 5.

It's like dude...when isn't it???

Alas, I put my foot down and decided it was time to get my grub on. So, I pull out my burrito (an actual bean and cheese for you cochinos), orange Gatorade (level 2 of course) and take my back pack into a nearby conference room. Lately I've been bringing my Macbook (name drop) with me to work so I can blog with you lovely people on my lunch break.

Jailbroken iPhone + MyWi App = Tethering Internet Service. Gotta love it.

My day is only halfway done and I still haven't taken a shit. I've got a conference call at 1pm and another at 3pm. I have to complete a couple agenda's, get to some minutes and one of the external stakeholders needs files sent to them one by one (50 total).

Just another day - Another Dollar. After all, isn't that why we do it?

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Time to get back to work people.

Cha-Ching!
