What a day

So today was an interesting day. It started off badly and I assumed it would be an upsetting day and I would end up coming home and venting here. Surprisingly however, it appears that my original opinion of the day was wrong. I ended up doing very little real work and having a good time in training and meetings all day. When I came into work today someone had sat in the cubical I normally sit in. I thought that it was going to be all down hill from there. The computer I was working on had some messed up technical issue where the display only showed a part of the page it should have. For the first few hours it was looking like it would be just one annoying problem after another but then after my first break everything turned around. I ended up going into training for 2 hours until my lunch break. Training was not too interesting but it was better then working. I got to teach someone else about a new tool they didn’t know about. For some reason that made me feel good about my self. Lunch was good. The cute Subway girl was not there but I still got to talk to the other Subway girl and my sub was tasty. After lunch I did about 15 minutes of work before it was time for a company wide “Town Hall” meeting. We all took a bus to the Performing Arts center in town and had a big long, drawn out meeting.

For the first half hour or so we just stood around in the lobby talking amongst our selves. That was fun because I ran into Mike. We chatted about how things were going and how his schedule kept getting switched around. The meeting was long but not boring. For some reason the whole group was very energetic and so we had a real good time while hearing about the business plan and what we were doing to make a better place to work. They gave away prizes but I didn’t win anything. I am sure that the same guy won like 4 of the prizes with his one ticket thou… must be his lucky day.

So that was my day. Maybe tomorrow I will post something less work related.
