Intense day at work today. My absurdometer was off the charts. Four months of work on the database circling the proverbial drain. The irony was so thick I could taste it. Frustrations were building to a pressure point. Perspective lost. I had to suppress giggles over things that were not even funny. And at a staff meeting (that I almost forgot to go to) we had a drawing. Names were put into a basket. One name was chosen for a fabulous prize. Holy guacamole, my name was chosen. What would be the fabulous prize? The way my day was going my hopes were not very high. Surprise! A $25 gift card for Target! Best meeting ever! Some days karma has a way of evening things out.
