Work sucks during the hols

[mugglechump]

One of my wall neighbors has brought her toddler to work today. She is keeping him occupied with a toy that plays the Muppet theme loudly. Over and over and over.

One of my project managers is trying to tell me my financial is wrong, and copying the Ops Manager on the emails in which he argues with me. All this despite my overwhelming evidence that I am not wrong, he is just a moron. An out-of-town moron who couldn't be bothered to have this conversation yesterday when he was HERE. This is the same PM who likes to deal with my manager rather than me or any of the other peons in Project Control. You know, he's above us and all that.

One bright spot in my day - I stopped for coffee this morning and the register was acting up. They needed to reboot it, so they just gave me my coffee for free.

The child is crying now. Not that I don't understand the occasional necessity of bringing a child to work with you, I do. I've even done it myself. I just really, really wish I had a thicker wall. Or my iPod. Why didn't I bring my iPod? Why???

ETA: OK, I lied. I'm going to bitch just a little more.

It is 5:03 on the eve of Thanksgiving. Only the janitors and I remain at the office. Wah!

...because you wanted to sing show tunes at the top of your lungs for all the office to hear. I hear High School Musical is al the rage. That baby will be lulled to sleep, it's guaranteed.

Okay, here are some lyrics for you to use when serenading your officemates:

Song: Start of Something New from High School Musical
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see

It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart

That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new


(Yes, I am so unbelievably bored at work that I looked these up. Could I be a bigger goober? I think not.)

I know it's too late now, but may I suggest next time the child brings a toy in that is battery operated, you find a reason to examine it and very slyly switch the batteries around so they're facing the wrong way *eg*
