Daily Dose of Lunacy at Work

I keep reminding myself to stick to the program, baby. I want to talk about what I can't talk about at work. So, here are two little items from my day today. I was asked if I had read the company's report on diversity and accessibility and kumbaya and stuff. Do you know how hard it was not to say 'yes, I'm going to keep it by my bedside on the off chance that I ever experience insomnia'. Or 'no-I haven't read it yet, but really, you shouldn't have printed it out for me THINK ABOUT THE TREES. (Do you have anyone at work that has that unbelievably annoying auto signature into their e-mail 'please think before you print this out-think of the trees'-I mean, seriously-piss off..) Then, moment number two was a colleague who actually wanted to have a serious discussion with me about a new project. It involves all kinds of esoteric philosophical crap and I almost fell asleep until I was jolted to reality by her use of the word "redistribution". RED ALERT RED ALERT! MARXIST IN THE MIDST. I think she used the term, with a straight face about four or five times. Sweetie, you lost me at redistribution of wealth. Someone down the hall also has an Obama picture on their door with "The One" on it. That's the kind of day it has been so far.
