snapshot of work

elionwyrI literally sneezed so hard today that I fell out of my chair.
In front of Bertha, who had just that moment walked up behind me to ask me a question.
I was wearing psuedo-pirate garb - black tank top with a thin white cotton blouse over that loosely laces up the front and has these vague tattered bell sleeves - canvas pants - beach shoes - a skull bead braided into my hair.
"ARRRRR...choo!"
In the resulting hilarity, I fired off an email to my coworker, Tiff, who usually emails a "Bless you!" when I sneeze (which is at least once a morning). This time she didn't email, so I wanted to know why.
And she knows me too well. I was on the phone, she typed back, and I couldn't - I'm sorry. Did you fall out of your chair with that sneeze?
Yeeeeeesh.
Also - because I'm way in Easily Distracted Mode (making it VERY hard to write up this newsletter, dammit!!) - I overheard a coworker say to his wife, "Yes, I'm a little froggy."
I quickly went into Word, found a frog picture in the clip-art file, slapped his name over it, printed it, and snuck it over on his desk while he wasn't looking.
This all took way less than 5 minutes.
*pause*
*pause*
"WHO PUT THIS PICTURE HERE???"
And of course I lost it.
He almost smacked me.
It was so worth it.
