Yoo 539 - Today Sucked

No, today really sucked. Everything that could fail at work did fail. It was like that scene in Star Trek Into Darkness where The Enterprise was powerless and getting blasted into a debilitated, imploding vessel by what should have been friendly forces and it began torpedoing thru Earth's atmosphere and all the red shirts were getting sucked into the void and the gravity system went kerplunk so the crew was left clinging onto rails or plunging stories to their deaths and Captain Kirk was fighting thru radiation to knock a reactor core the size of a semi truck back into alignment so they could regain power and control of the ship and not wipe out all of San Francisco and die.

Except my "Scotty" was 100% unavailable on the other side of the globe and I didn't have anyone to tell me exactly how to save the day and it was just me at my desk trying to appease a handful of marketing users with mostly accurate data. I mean, I did take half an hour to run vote so that's kind of like saving the world?

Does this Star Trek comparison make it all seem too fun?

I ate 12 pieces of candy and drank a highly caffeinated beverage thru a sour licorice straw to survive. Did I mention I get to jump back in tomorrow and clean up all the carnage?

It makes me feel alive. And purposed.

Eventually, in the late evening, I got to a stopping point with everything and came home to an over-flowing (no really, it was spilling all over the counter) crock pot of chili and a puppy in desperate need of a run long-distance sprint. The puppy dragged me thru some speed work, the chili was actually delicious, and my computer has only quit on me 4 times in the writing of this blog post.

Things are looking up. But only if I don't think about tomorrow.

Have a great day :-)
