Left over cake

I had an awesome day at work, half my meetings got cancelled which meant I actually got to do something productive.  Well it felt more productive than sitting in meetings all day does. 

 Big spreadsheets with thousands of lines of data.  Sorting it, turning it into pivot tables and analysing the results.  Having my two screens jammed packed with sessions and actually finishing what I started. Getting my inbox down from 7000 messages to just 60. The mailbox cleanup was forced upon me as I had reached my storage limit and couldn't send or receive anymore emails.  I was also able to answer my phone!

Sad I know, but I love the people I work with and it is probably one of the things that has kept me sane over the last few years  and today it was just a real buzz to get my hands dirty.  Recently it has been so busy that I just wasn't getting a chance to enjoy it.  I felt like I wasn't doing my job probably and mistakes were being made.  But today I managed to catch up and start some projects I have been wanting to do for months.  

However, I do wonder if it is the calm before the storm ... but hey I am on annual leave from Friday so not my problem!  This will be the first time I am away through end of month.  It will be interesting to see what I come back too.

 I have an awesome team who constantly keep me entertained, and can take a telling off when needed as well.

Some of the things we discussed today:

• That single females with short hair will never find a boyfriend.  I didn't agree with that.  The team was divided.
• That sesame crackers are better than salada crackers, but neither are as good as cheds.
• I explained to them what a chocolate ripple cake is - they had never heard of it.
• Are Australian Twisties better than Kiwi Twisties - Australian Twisties are better.
• What we would all do if we each won $12 million dollars.  Some were investing it and I was going to buy my own tropical island.
• Whether one of the guys should ask the new hot girl down the other end of the floor out on a date.  I suggested that he wouldn't want to do that and that I didn't think she was that hot actually.
• Someone suggested that my top made me look like Denise the Menace. Some thought so and others thought it made me look like Freddie Cruger or Kurt Cobain!!  They even emailed pictures to each other to add weight to their argument.
• Should you ever question your own stupidity aloud outside of your head ... in most cases no you shouldn't

And how do you end such a lovely day with your colleagues, you find left over cake in the tea room at 4.28pm.  Enough for us all to have a piece.
