So after the rough night I had last night one could only hope today would be better. Since I am still not used to the new work hours I woke up at 6am this morning. Being up I did my best to concocted a prison style workout with in my apartment (push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, triceps). After doing so I quickly jumped in the shower so I could be ready when Stella got here at 8. Upon entering the shower I realized I had no hot water and I did not have any idea how to make it hot. Surprisingly instead of getting mad I instantly thought of something Rachel, my new director, had told me the day before. When she explained about how the office lost networking the week before no one had reported it because they were so used to life being that way. When people here wake up in the morning they may not have power, they cannot control that. Without power they cannot get warm water, sometimes even water at all. Without power they cannot iron their clothes so they come to work wrinkly, they cannot control that. They may get stuck in traffic on the way to work the same day, they cannot control that. When they lose network in the office, they are ok with it as they cannot control it.
I was glad I got a shower.
Instead of writing a long entry I have decided to include some of the responses I have been receiving from everyone. In order to protect the guilty I have omitted all names……..YEA RIGHT. (please do not stop sending them even though I called you out. I find them super funny and they truly do make my day.) Hopefully you find them as witty as I did.
