Today’s My Day!

No one has named an international day after me, nor have they named a national day after me, or even a municipal day but today is still my day. It all started this morning when two good looking people came to my desk, okay she was hovering just above the average mark and he could be described as being on the cute side of nerdy, but the appearance of the two of them signaled the beginning of my day.

Having a job where I don’t do any real work, i.e. work that adds any value to the company, I don’t get a lot of visitors so I was a little leery of the two at first. Once I opened up to them, they informed me I was getting an upgrade to my email. Let me tell you, it was like winning the lottery. I am one of only a few with this upgraded version, or so they told me. It sure did add some excitement to my otherwise dull morning. And the newer version is a lot softer on the eyes (the hard edges of the windows are now soft rounded edges and the colour is, well, let’s just say there is some colour now) and a lot more user friendly (i.e. idiot proof).

I was beginning to think the day couldn’t get any better when my dad told me that we will be getting a puck after game one of the Memorial Cup tonight. Getting giveaways at sporting events is always good. I bet you all are thinking this is too good to be true but there is more. Just a couple hours ago I learned that there is a big meeting at work and my bosses will be out of the office all afternoon, on a Friday of a long weekend.

Despite that amazing fact, there is still more and I think of this as the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. I went for greek for lunch today and instead of getting a mere two olives on the salad I got three! That is almost unheard of. Every greek restaurant I’ve been to, which is only two so I guess my sample size is insufficient to yield accurate results, there have always only been two olives on my salad. Now that my friends is hitting the greek paydirt.

Life couldn’t get any better………
