THE DAILY DIVERSION

There's always this feeling of relief when you complete something that has been consuming your life for far too long. My work has been the deterrent to my personal life over the last two months. My blog has seen very little action as a result. My readership has dwindled, which I don't blame the people that usually read for that. However, Friday was a very, very odd day.

I made a post that day about the fires, because that was what was consuming my thoughts. However, I finished up my project on Friday also. I was able to get the report finished faster than anyone else prior to me, but without giving up the quality. I did something much more important than that though. I made my bosses very, very happy. That, in and of itself, is a major accomplishment. Everybody is happy when the bosses are happy.

This occurrence has opened up some opportunities for me too. Since I made my bosses happy, they've kind of given me free reign. They let me leave at 2 last Friday and are letting me take a half day off this Friday. Actually, my boss told me "You can do whatever you want to do!" That's a bad idea, Boss, but I like your thinking!

So, I'm just kind of hanging out at work today. I'll probably do that most of this week. I've got one small project to take care of (it's for one of my co-workers) and it'll probably only take me a couple of hours to do. Other than that, I'm in good shape.

Oh, and one last thing...

Have I ever mentioned that I love long weekends? No? Well, now you know.

Maybe I'll come back in a little while and discuss my weekend. I'm a little upset at a certain head football coach right now, and, no, it's not Charlie Weis. We'll get to that later!
