Here's to new beginnings... or, uh, something...

Today we got a new boss. He seems like a no-nonsense kinda boss. During the mini-meeting in which the top boss introduced him to the department, he have us a nice little speech about how he's ready to learn all the strategies here and he wants to hit the ground running and blah blah blah.


He ended by warning us that sometimes he might be "wordy, loud, and a little emotional"... erm... ooookay. Don't know how to interpret that, but thanks for the fair warning, I guess. lol.


So many changes going on. My favorite coworker is fed up with the politics of this place and has been looking for a job for some time now. She's gotten VERY positive feedback from another company and I think she will soon abandon me to fend for myself against the ugly fates of this freak show we call our office. Ok, just kidding, it's not so bad. But some days it really does seem like a freak show.


Oh the things that happen in this place. I've seen everything from shameless sabotages and backstabbings to all out screaming matches. It actually keeps me pretty entertained.


Ah, such is life. Hope you are all having a great day... I sure am, I only work a half day tomorrow and then I'm off to a 3-day weekend at the beach! The flight has been booked, the backpack will get packed tonight, the cousins will be alerted of my soon arrival, and fun WILL be had!!!!!
