A tale of Solitary Confinement and Averted disasters

Dear Reader,

This should be an interesting tale on account of the fact that I did ingest a fairly large amount of caffeine for the day. Isn't the title intriguing?
Yeah, where do I start? Today I developed a rare form of silent hysteria, I watched as the clocked ticked by and the dude from the graveyard shift didn't budge (I assumed that he was going to be done by 6am, which in truth, was actually at 8:30am - this explains the silent hysteria).
Long story short, I was banished to the far corner of the office (hereafter will be known as Solitary Confinement. Why call it that? I'll elucidate later.)
Yes, I had to retrieve files and make like speedy-gonzales in order to avert a nuclear meltdown from my client, who was probably blissfully unaware that I was a raving mess. I recovered rather quick, albeit a little shaken by the whole thing. My Parasympathetic Nervous System when on fight or flight mode. Obviously, I came out swinging.... WHEW....

mental note: Never make assumptions about certain things - I got the message BIG TIME today.

So, Solitary Confinement. My new work area is located on the far-side of the office near the water cooler and uh... the bathroom- It's tragic having to hear the melodious sounds of water bubbling and the toilet being flushed. Ah... what I'd give for a little Mozart or perhaps some ear damaging rock music to blot out the odd sounds around me. It's not THAT BAD , it's pitifu and lamentable that I can't listen to music anymore as I work. In my old station, I used to listen to tunes from imeem to at least make work a little festive. Sadly, I'm cursed with a defective headset outlet thingy (I know, I don't know much about computers so I will resort to calling parts or programs in the language of a three-year old or an inept computer user).

mental note: bring iPOD or charger for Mp3 player.


OOOH lunchtime!!!!!!
