WOW! I've been mia for a while...but I'm back... and better than ever...I'm tired right now so maybe a little incoherent/delusional/OOOH YEAH!!!
So, lately I've been having a little bit of trouble with my boss at work. I feel like he's very hard to communicate with and he can be kind of manipulative and condescending. And since many other co-workers feel the same way about (I'll deem him) "he-who-shall-not-be-named" I have gotten into the bad habit about commiserating about our boss with other employees.
It's not good. Talking about people behind there back is kind of like having an itch: on the one hand it's so tempting and so hard to resist not scratching (or talking about someone when they're not around) yet if you do itch (talk) than you have to keep itching (talking) and eventually you feel bad for itching (talking).
Anyways, I resolve to think the best about my boss and focus on his good aspects (and they ARE there) instead of chewing him apart in my mind or complaining about him with others.
Before I make true of this pledge I want to share one last thing about this man...he LOVES using acronyms...He'll make up acronyms for words that are not supposed to be abbreviated (i.e. birthday inexplicably becomes bd). He even abbreviates already abbreviated acronyms (i.e. pm and am are merely 'p' and 'a' in "he-who-shall-not-be-named"'s lexicon.
It's kind of funny but it does drive one nuts. He'll give acronyms to things that I wouldn't know what he was referring to if he were to use their full names...okay...that's the end...only good things come out of my mouth (or my hands) about my boss from now on or else nothing comes out about him at all. =)
In other exciting news (actually what I was just talking about wasn't exactly "news" nor was it that "exciting" I guess...anyways) the NBA playoffs started today!!!
I am so excited about the playoffs because I have really gotten into basketball since I am forced to watch it everyday with one of my clients. I really, really like Steve Nash and the frenetic Suns and they are going to... go...the...distance!!!
I was so AMPED for the playoffs that I actually entered a NBA Playoffs Bracket Fantasy League. So...I ended up creating my own league (team name was "the RiseYin Suns" and the slogan was "Nash'll kick ass.") and inviting a bunch of friends to join my game. However, it turns out that I entered too late and since the games started today they won't let me actually make predictions anymore. whatevs.
Finally, the weather has been SPRINGLIKE and PHENOMENAL this past week. It really feels like spring/summer now! I have so much more energy and it's just amazing how much something like the weather can affect your spirits.
I'm too tired to add pictures today. text will have to do.
...okay...fine...here's a picture: ...I guess it got posted on the top of the page. Ladies and gentlemen the one, the only; give it up for the great Steve Nash!!!
g'night
