My left eye has started twitching and it's making me crazy. Let's see, Medline says "The most common things that make the muscle in your eyelid twitch are fatigue, stress, and caffeine. Ok, guilty of all three.
The caffeine I can control, I'm doomed on the other two. Would anyone like to adopt me so I can quit my job? I am the poster child for making the wrong career choice.
I have never worked with a group of more stressed out people. We've discovered we're all taking the same medications for sleep, stress, and high blood pressure. My friend Gwyn at the end of the hall just screamed "OMG, whose coffee am I drinking?!?" She doesn't even remember how it got into her hand. At least I'm not that far gone...yet.
Alrighty, someone has just started a country/reggae sing along. He's just been threatened with our 8 foot long office boa constrictor if he doesn't stop. Yes, a girl in our office has had a boa constrictor loose in her house for 2 weeks now and she can't find it, so someone brought in a fake one and dumped it in her office. We told her when her cat disappears, she'll probably find the snake.
At least I work with fun (albeit crazy) people.
Of course this probably pales in comparison with Moonbear's sheepcapades. Putting little metal caps over the sheep's brains when she removes their skulls. :uhh:
What is your workplace like?
Edit: We're now all on hold for a conference call and we're listening to "easy listening accordian music", that is REALLY making my eye twitch.
