On Work. Sort of.

We had a staff meeting today.
Since I'm the youngest by about twenty years (give or take a few), I sometimes miss "relevant" cultural references.
I've also learned quite a bit. These women are wise. They are hilarious. They take care of me when I need it; they make me laugh; they teach me stuff.
Today, I hadn't heard a song that they were talking about - Dreamweaver? - so we had to play it.
Right then, the head honcho walks in, shakes his head, and walks out.
I am so grateful for this environment.
I'm currently barefoot at my desk.
This is great stuff. I am so lucky.

It's like Phil always says, "We are not what we do."
I mean we are, mostly, but to remind ourselves that we are not just software slaves is a beautiful thing.

Today's song? Slightly Stoopid's Collie Man. It's seriously one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It reminds me of the summer after my freshman year of college....  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziNx7V1iA2Y
