it's spreading beyond the band.

to give background to those of you who don't know, i'm working in this little tiny firm this summer where my boss is incompetent. my boss also happens to be in munich for two weeks, leaving me with (literally) about a three-foot high stack of work to do.

so i'm trying to rewrite one of his badly written documents so i can ship it out for the contract bid tomorrow, and i'm waiting for the culpeper proposal to come back from the copy place so i can send it out today for that contract bid. and i'm stressed, because i've got too much to do.

so what do i do? i kick back, dial up, wander around the net for a bit. i'm on the phone, with netscape open to some very obviously not-work pages, and the door opens and someone comes in. i turn around...

and it's the copy guy. i did him the favor of driving him up to dc to catch a plane on july fourth weekend, and i've gotten great service ever since. he's delivering the eight copies of my document, bound (even though i forgot to ask for that part). he hands them over, talks to me for a bit, and then, on his way out the door, tosses a comment over his shoulder....

"don't get too stressed. just give us a call if you need anything. remember, we don't just deliver copies. we deliver bourbon too."

that fixed my entire day.

darby

who may call him back tomorrow after this fucking needs 
assessment is done.
