Monday Morning Blues
Today is just one of those days. Today should be a day off in my mind, Easter Monday, but I am sitting in my cube eating my Monday Morning Bagel and my iced tea. I do not even remember turning off my alarm this morning, but it went off. I got out of bed to see that it was raining out. It is cold and windy too. What a great combination.
It seems like no one wanted to crawl out of bed this morning. I pulled into the parking lot and I was the third car here. The other two were probably the security people. I came in early, but there are usually more cars here then that! I sit down to do my morning report and I find out that most of the processes failed. Means more work for me.
I am just afraid to see what happens the rest of the day today. All I know is I want to crawl under my desk and take a snooze, that is why I found that joke above. Is it 5 yet?
