Internal promotion

I think that it is odd that time can go by so quickly when your eyes are closed for a split second and when they are open, time can almost stand still. My alarm went off this morning and I thought, "I will just lay here for a couple of minutes and then get up and get ready for work." When I woke up the clock had some how jumped forward by about 30 minutes. I thought it was impossible, my watch must be broken.....just my luck, I had to get ready quickly before the driver starts honking his horn and waking up the neighbors.
Speaking of honking horns. I asked one of my co-workers if there is any chapter in the Koran that deals with patience. He said, "Yes, we have a number of chapters that deal with patience." I said, "well I do not think that many Libyans have read those chapters, because the way they lay on the car horn after one second has passed at the stop light, indicates that they are not remembering what they read."

I got an internal promotion today. We have meetings every other day at 10 a.m. Our office boy brings in coffee for the meeting attendees about 10:30. Everyone gets a small cardboard cup of coffee or tea. Today I was promoted to a china cup and saucer for my coffee. Usually that level of service is only provided to the client and the project managers. In his eyes, I have moved up one more rung on the corporate ladder. That might be my early Christmas present. We will have to see if I maintain my new status level at the next meeting. I will keep you on the edge of your seats until Monday's blog.
