Still something about Thursdays I say!

I’ve been a working fool for the last 3 days now trying my best to get caught up on a few things here and there. Being in the office more has made me more aware of the pettiness that travels on the inside. The other day we had a birthday party for a couple of people in our work group, loads of laughs and food. I was the cups, plates and forks man, and an easy job to do. I offered to cook something but they kept saying “that’s ok”, not sure if that was a comment on my cooking or just the fact that the utensils were enough on my part. Ok, the pettiness, for Chris of course I gave him a gag gift and I wrapped the box myself and for Bee I made a gift basket of soaps and lotions. I placed the items in the basket and put clear wrap and a bow with tiny flowers in it. The ladies were amazed that I could do something like that, one lady in particular likes to make snide remarks and jabs where ever she can, I usually ignore her. She popped off with a loud “Mark that’s beautiful!’ and then spoiled it with “I didn’t know you had the talent to be so creative”. Everyone gasped or looked at her like she was a fool, not just because I’m her boss but "creative" is what I do for a living. As I said, I ignored it but later found out Bee and Judy had words over it very loud, to the point of screaming at each other. From what I can gather it has been building up between the two and it was time to blow. This afternoon, I couldn’t keep my eyes open at my desk, thank goodness for customers calling to keep me motivated and awake, So tonight will be my cleaning ritual and maybe go out with Chris to play a game or two of pool……..I still have those bikes in the back of my head.
