End of Days for the Maternity Ward

August 16, 2010 in mentat notes | 2 comments

Everyone in the office knows me either as the fertility god or the director of the maternity ward.  There’s just way too many pregnant women among my staff for the past year or so.  More than normal, I should say.  You can review my “eros” posts of yore to check on what I’m talking about as I’m posting this via email and don’t have the bandwidth to go through the links right now.

Yesterday, around 4.40 in the afternoon, the last of my staff, Christine, gave birth to a healthy baby girl via c-section.  She apparently ran out of amniotic fluids before the baby came out hence the need to deliver that way.  From the report I received, she and the baby are doing great.  No worries at all.

Now that she’s given birth and I have no more pregnant staff in my team, I wonder if my team’s name will be changed come the new year.  Right now we’re being hailed as the maternity ward with my boss being the captain, considering every team he has has at least 1 to 2 pregnant women on board.  Might my team be re-named to the bordello?  Hmmm…

I think I’ll rename my team to The Nursery before anyone else gets any bright ideas for my team.  What do you think?  What name shall I call my team in the next few months?  The table’s open to suggestions.  ;)

The Coffee Lover’s Prayer

August 6, 2010 in mentat notes | No comments

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal(tm):
For thou art with me;
thy cream and thy sugar, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks;
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.

Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of Mocha forever.

Move: Complete

July 21, 2010 in mentat notes | No comments

Back in February, I talked about moving to another place.  A sort of downgrade.  Well, it’s happened and it’s complete now.  My stay at the wonderful place was a short 10 months and 6 days.  It had been a wonderful experience marred only by the moving out debacle which stretched almost 3 months.  Something I do not want repeated ever again.

Anyway, my new place still needs a lot of work to look like home but at least it’s mine.  Right now it looks like a warehouse with things and boxes stacked all over the place.  But it’s homey and I can rest easy here.  Meaning I’m almost always sleepy.  :D

My mobile broadband connection here’s about the same as the old one.  Same schedule of peaks and lows, I’ve noticed.  Though the big difference is the stability of the signal and consistency.  Probably because of the proximity to the cell tower.  Or the height of this place.

For now, I’ll rest and so soon I will back into my blogging form again.  Thank you.
