I'm Not The Man, But I Heard He Got Promoted.

Workplace Karma Tip: The day you want to slam your office door and scream that you're going to quit this damn evil place once and for all is more likely to be the same day you'll get one of the Quarterly Employee awards from your Division.

I feel so empowered. Can I go back to my office now?

(Actually, there's a pretty nice prize that comes along with the award, so I'll play nice. Even if you all secretly know the truth.)

All Things Considered.

I am the million dollar man
will somebody show me where to stand?
I'm not afraid to be alone
all I need is water and a phone
I am only half a man
I have only half a plan
if you want to ride with me
I'll keep you company
—Imperial Teen, "Million $ Man"

Despite:

Not having a present ready for my mother's birthday today (Though I won't see her today anyway, and I know she'd say she doesn't need anything...but I think The Boyfriend had a great idea of what to get for her, so it's coming.)
Not having my writing project for work done at 9AM like I said
Not putting down Harry Potter #5 after page 100 like I promised
Needing a nap right about now (see above)
Getting bad news about a project I'm involved in at work
Getting behind in another project because of a third, annoying project
Having a sore back and wrist at work
Hair that, even coated with generous amounts of gel, unexpectedly stands up like I'm touching a Vandegraaff generator (or occasionally just does its Alfalfa imitation instead)

...I'm in a pretty good mood. By all accounts, I probably shouldn't be, but who am I to protest?
