At Work...

I just talked to an Irishman on the phone.

I heard his accent and said, "Are you Irish??"

When he confirmed that he was, I might have gone on and on about how I have a friend from Drougheda and how that makes me practically half Irish.

I don't think he appreciated it at all.

I can't know why.

I was totally trying to build a relationship of trust.

In other news, there has been a huge upheaval here at work.

As such, there are so many power plays going on, I can't keep track of who's doing what.

Some of the stuff that's going on is hysterical. 

Other stuff is completely childish.

No one knows for sure what happened, but there are rumors.

Oh, the rumors that are flying around this place.

I keep catching other employees having whispered conversations with each other.

I'm mostly just minding my own business.

And singing Christmas songs loudly at my desk for all to enjoy.

I'm just doing what I can to promote a joyful, not-to-mention-awesome work atmosphere.
