| Monday Drama
... but it works!
This morning, I came in with a face that matches the weather - gloomy. I cracked a smile here and there, but never too much for people to think that I'm up for a the usual "How was your weekend?" conversations.
I need my fucking coffee! And I need it right NOW!
So, I grabbed my Disney coffee mug, got my 2 quarters and head for the 3rd floor to our state-of-the-art coffee machine.
What do I see??
I stomped my way back to the first floor. Bitching.
"Hi Freddy!" said one jovial co-worker.
"Who made coffee this morning? The fucking coffee machine upstairs is broken!", I replied to her indignantly.
Erasing the smile off her face, she then said, "I think they already called someone for that. Such and such made coffee, why don't you have that?".
"Yeah right! Cubans won't even drink her coffee!", I said while stomping towards my office.
About 5 minutes after that, I hear a knock on my door. It was the driver asking me if I wants him to drive me to Dunkin Donuts. Normally, I would drive myself, but I will surely lose my parking space by the time I get back. And it's street cleaning day too! WHATEVER! So, I smiled (or so I tried) and thank him profusely.
So, I got my coffee! I'm a happy camper! I went back to my PC, checked my e-mails. I immediately have a couple of new ones that came from different co-workers. One said, "If you bitch and moan about coffee one more time this early, I'll kick your ass!". Then there's "I'm assuming you had your coffee now, so please, please, please, can you fix my printer?". And the classic one. "I was the one who requested Josh to drive you to Dunkin Donuts. Can I have a new monitor. And, you said you were going to install a faster PC on my desk? I've been waiting."
I had to redeem myself. I apologized to a couple of co-workers, including 1 security guard. I fixed the printer - it was just a paper jam. And, I installed the new PC on her desk and put in the order for the monitor.
See, I'm not that bad.
I even had my cigarette break already.
Happy Monday everyone!
