i am excellent

Today I found out I am nominated for my second excellence award this year at work. The first time was in an individual capacity, and the second is for a team award for the whole team for the software we work on.

I can’t wait to belittle my coworkers!

p-p-p-p-p-powernap

Lately I’ve taken to eating my lunch while working so I can enjoy a nice little nap in the car. It makes me feel much more refreshed and productive. I think we would all be a lot more happy and productive if everyone relaxed for a bit during the work day. It makes me much less likely to respond crankily when coworkers don’t do their job or try and avoid doing work, or when extra work gets dumped onto me from the awesome software development machine that is my job.

It also helps for the times when your drunken roommate wakes you up to complain about how they are bored and miserable for an hour until they fall asleep in a stew of vodka. Being sleepy because I got drunk the night before is okay, since I got to have some fun. Being sleepy because you live with someone who pickles their depression with a depressant is another story altogether.

no sammich left behind!

think of the sammiches

I told Lene about the fantastic grilled ham and cheese i made this morning and she invented a slogan i think we can all rally around. Then Bayat from yayhooray created this excellent logo based on a real no child left behind logo I found on the internets.

Today I got the good news that the last software release I was in charge of testing has been successfully put into production with no issues that were my team’s fault. WIN. I gave props to the team  and then focused on continuing the streak of awesome.

I hope the Phillies don’t suck it up again this evening.
