random things that happen at work

today has been a somewhat productive day at work. i got free lunch, which automatically makes it better than any day of the week that i didn't get free lunch (monday and tuesday and probably tomorrow and friday), so that's a good thing. fins and i had a little brain tangle going on when we both emailed each other out of the blue at the exact same time. now, i know that someone is probably sitting there thinking "nah that sort of thing must happen all the time" but it does NOT. i have sent a lot of emails since i started working here, and it hasn't happened once. in fact, i pretty much use outlook like a kid with a broken back would use aim. i even email the guy who is 2 cubes down from me because honestly, i'm just too lazy to get up and have to deal with the possibility of him not being there, running into someone who wants to bug me, or the possibility of actually having to answer questions i don't really know the answer to. if i sit at my desk and write emails, the people on the other end really only get to ask me one question at a time, giving me time to research the answer, and make it seem like i know what i'm doing over here.

lots of random stuff has happened today, and really has been happening since i started here. actually it's probably pretty normal stuff, but in my mind it's really random because i notice it and it makes no sense. for instance, check out this character:

of all the places for him to pop up... he manages to pop up in just the right spot so as to look like he's really really excited about what's going on in that one window. keep in mind that i was pretty excited too because, as you can see, it is not work involved, and therefore was more exciting than excel. being more exciting than excel is not hard to do, and this guy appreciates that just as much as the next guy.
