Oh Fair New Mexico, for better or worse, you are stepping up your game.
First we had our friend Bill run for the Office of President, and it looks like Bill is soon to be appointed to Secretary of Commerce.
And today I’m reading in Michael Coleman’s blog in the ABQJournal that Louis Caldera, former President of UNM, has been appointed Director of the White House Military Office.
Well ok! Biscochitos for everyone!
As one of the many hats I wear in my new gig, I manage a help desk. Ok, I don’t manage it, I have an incredibly good young manager who manages that team. She’s new at the role, but thoughtful and smart.
Today is starting out tough for her because we’re getting a series of folks calling in sick. This also includes my own manager, the Director of us all. *coff, coff, sniffle, sniffle*
Not good.
So I was chatting with my help desk manager today about our situation and how we get through it. While talking, she pulled a box out from under her desk and handed me the following things:
She is now going desk to desk, ministering to the sick and wounded, laying on hands and providing the same kit to each of our call agents.
See, it’s our fiscal year end, and we really need these folks on the phones, doing their jobs.
And with an arsenal of flu fighting products, there shall be no excuses!
I think this new, young manager is one smart cookie. I better keep an eye on her, I think she’ll be running circles around me in no time.
How lucky I am to have good folks on my team!
So. Word on the street is that today is December.
But I’m not buyin’ it.
Because I’m fairly certain I did NOT authorize 2008 to dissipate so quickly.
Nope. No way. No how. I don’t care that people are Christmas shopping. I don’t care that decorations are cropping up. Nope.
Nuh uh.
Not gonna do it.
Oh, and *someone* must have told the Bay Area that it’s December today because it went and got all overcast and foggy and crappy and, well, wintry.
I’m telling you, if we all band together against this thing, it doesn’t HAVE to be December. Roll back the calendar, get the sun out of storage and let’s go on about our lives circa, I don’t know, June?
How does June work for you? Do I hear a July? Going once, going twice…
Please stand by…I’m going to go see about fixing this.
