well, you can cancel the Amber alert...

I arrived at work today to find quite the chaotic scene. Police, firefighters and some parts of the National Guard were all around my desk with snarling, drooling dogs. They had fax machines and copiers set up around the swath of laptops with maps on the screen of Georgia, the United States, and the world. One uniformed man had just hit send on the fax machine...faxing my security badge picture to all the local hotspots, newspapers and news stations. They were holding up papers that I had touched and the pens I have written with to the noses of bloodhounds, trying to get them to pick up my scent. Right before the police chief "ok'd" the picture for the back of the milk cartons, I walked around the corner. They all proceeded to shout huzzah before they returned to their daily duties and fed the bloodhounds their breakfast.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I was 10 minutes late to work this morning.

I didn't sleep well last night (couldn't go to sleep until 2, had to get up at [what my body felt like] was 4:15.) So I felt like crap this morning. My work cell phone died yesterday, so I didn't have it on for people to call. I had 5 missed phone calls on my desk phone, one being my supervisor, and they were all trying to find me.

I hate this god forsaken place.

Hang in there SM. I know it sucks, but there's a light at the end of the extremely long 12 month tunnel :)
