My Sanity Has Left The Building!

Up until now I thought I was doing okay; I thought I was a sane, coherent individual. Today, my thinking has done a 180 flip and has left me thinking the opposite. I left my desk at work to walk to the photocopier where I had printed some documents. So far things are fairly normal, even if you find it hard to believe I am doing some work. Anyhow, in the copy room there is one printer on the right hand side just inside the doorway and one photocopier that is further into the room on the same side. Upon entering the room, I instinctively looked right and noticed some bright, colourful markings on a sheet of paper resting on the printer. Instead of just ignoring it and putting it out of my mind, like any sane person would do, I made special notice of it and muttered "oooouuu a nice colourful pie chart".

Had I left the thought alone to circle my mind on its way down the inevitable drain of oblivion, I would have thought no more about the comment and I would still be feeling I am a sane person. Today, however, I felt the need to vocalize this observation and express my 'excitement' to the many stacks of paper littered throughout the tiny room. And to make matters worse, instead of just letting it all go and forgetting my temporary glimpse at the wrong side of sanity, I am further compounding this view by telling my story to anyone bored enough to read this.


Man, do I hope the weekend comes soon! Maybe next week will be better than the last. (Now I went and butchered a part of the Counting Crows 'Long December' song, give me a break my sanity is seriously in question. For those who don't know the song, here is the bit of lyric I made use of: "Maybe this year will be better than the last".)
