Egads! We had a weeks' worth of lull at work and then we got slammed. It's good to have stuff to do, but dangit anyway! It's knocked us on our heels just a little bit.
I don't have much else to tell you on this second day of February. Yup...we're one month down in 2011 already.
Oh I know what I was going to tell you. I had cause to use a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference today. I was fixing my lunch in the break room, when two of my co-workers wandered in. I heard something about "number of orders processed this week", and then the number 42.
So I said, with just the correct amount of flair and flourish, "The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything!!"
They both stared at me like I'd lost my mind.
It's a lonely feeling when you're the only one in the room who gets the HG reference.
**sigh**
And Douglas Adams (1952-2001), sage wit and creator of one of the funniest books you'll ever read, said...
"He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which."
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."
"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."
"For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second of so, nothing continued to happen."
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"
Put some wit in your Wednesday! And remember...Don't Panic!
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
