Monday Change

We're spending Monday throwing quotes about change back and forth. There are some particularly poignent one's....

The birds are molting. If only man could molt also - his mind once a year its errors, his heart once a year its useless passions. ~James Allen

What can we take on trust
in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness,
pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps.
~Euripides, Hecuba

It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. ~W. Edwards Deming

Everybody goes to parties
They dance this mess around
They do the Shu-ga-loo
Do the Shy Tuna
Do the Camel Walk
Do the Hip-o-crit
~The B-52's

It's Monday and I just can't seem to get focused...I sent in a response to an email from my boss about any office supplies we wanted...Mine consisted of a stapler, notebooks, pencils and lead and a "Apocalypse Cow" poster. He called me 30 minutes later stating that he couldn't find the poster and did I have a part number for it...i felt bad about that...terribly amused, as that is something I'd do, but still bad.

Building maintenance was in here this morning, replacing all the lights. Now it's like working in the center of the sun, it's so freakin' bright. I need to put a canopy or something over my cube so I don't fry. He was not a happy person, as it seems that many IT folks have moved and damaged the fixtures.

Allright, now it's off to be productive.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

Trying to get motivated to clean today as we have G's sister and family coming over soon for lunch. We have a great time last night at the Scott's celebrating Beltane. There was jumping over the fire, cider, good food and entertaining company.
I'm still grumpy today, but am trying to work through it. Off to clean.
