What Does The Future Hold?

The rumors that I am being relocated to another shift are increasing. It’s funny that people keep asking me about the change, despite the fact that no one has actually approached me about the shift. Well, at least not until tonight. It seems that several people put their hat in the ring to be considered for a position while I, who did no such thing, was the only one they even considered and wanted despite not having applied for it.

Being considered the best of my group is rather flattering when taken out of context, but in all honesty when compared with the people I work with it’s like being told you’re the best victim a serial killer has ever head. Great or not you’re still gonna die.

There are of course some repercussions to moving, if indeed it does end up happening. First of is that my weekly schedule will change drastically. Instead of working the late shift during the week, I will work the red-eye shift on the weekend, consisting of three 12-hour shifts. It will also be in a different building, which when combined with the change in time means I’m going to lose that cherished personal time I get with the demented denizens of the Cube Jungle.

This may change the format, regularity, and even the very existence of this little blog. Since I won’t really be one of the Cubers any more, it may not be feasible to continue writing about my little monkey cohorts. Then again, I could end up moving into a whole new Jungle of rare and mysterious animals. After all, the new office would have such wonderful people as Norman Bates, who spent an entire night telling me about the meaning, origin, and importance off the sizing information on the side of a cars tire. Really…all night. Then there’s Mr. Anderson (as in The Matrix…Miiiisterrr Annnnderson) who was moved to working in the middle of the night during the week because no one could stand working with him.

In other news, today the topic of conversation was what everyone did for Mother’s Day. Beardface cooked out for his mom, I went kayaking and cooked out with my mom, The JC built a deck for his mom. And then there’s Sith Lord. He spent Mother’s Day waiting for his mom to get back from Disney Land with his brother and then when the power went out at his mother’s house he decided to leave her in the dark and go home to watch Survivor. Nice to know he’s got his priorities.

Next week I’ll be on vacation and I’m quite certain there won’t be any updates while I’m going. I am spending a week relaxing at the beach…and helping friends move into a new house. Ok, actually I’m going solely to help them move and may never make it to the beach…even though they live on the coast. Who knows…I’m told the college down there has the most STD’s of any college in the US so I might have a rash and a story when I come back.
