I have the sound of music stuck in my head today, thanks to my boss. We even did a lovely duet on How do you Solve a Problem Like Maria... I'm not sure what started it, but I just can't stop!!
So its Festive Friday here at Purdue.. And yes, it really is. I did not make up that name, although being Festive Charity I was pretty excited that caught up with the festivity! No fears, I made Sara take a hilarious picture of me and our brochure about today's events. In case you're wondering, Festive Friday is all part of Homecoming here at Purdue. Our building is packed with so many alumni, we are a swarm of black and gold.
We have Black and Gold football fridays anyway, but every single person today has on Purdue gear. I wore my official "Blackout" Tee, since its also casual friday but everyone else dressed up. ooopss.. missed the memo on that one! I had to throw on my name badge so that people would know I actually worked her.
I had a very trauamatizing event at work this week. For the first time I was called Ma'am by a student. Repeatedly. And it was a male! I was asking him questions and every answer was yes ma'am no ma'am.... Sara was beside me while it happened and as soon as the door slammed on him leaving she burst out into laughter. I guess I am officially OLD. At the ripe old age of 26. Sad.
I did get revenge this morning. Bets has her alumni pin on her sweater and I noticed it said 82'. So I sweetly said, you graduated in 82'? I was born then!!
I have never seen my life flash before my eyes as I did right then.... Youl could hear the reaction all the way down the hall.
It has been a rather festive week here at work. We are swamped with registration and new students, in the midst of losing our minds, quickly not slowly, we have decided to let go and just have a great time.... Instead of getting stressed out over things we have been finding humor in all the bad situations, which I love!!
Something happened the other day that was irritating but not life changing, So I decided I would be Mean Charity.... Since then we have added Bad Betsy Boo, and Monster Sara.. We're still working on a nickname for Mary. Its taking time:) We also have our own chest thump that we do. Its hard to explain, but it is the most hilarious thing. Mary came up with it after I said I decided I didn't like people anymore.. You thump your upper chest with your hands and make a mean face.... I have yet to get a picture or video of it, you really have to see it to fully appreciate the effect it has.
We have all started doing it as our de-stress... If someone is upset, or we just need a laugh, we do it. And we all laugh so hard there are practically tears and we can't remember what we were upset about in the beginning...
You probably think I"m nuts right now, which would be true:) But its seriously hilarious... I love the people I work with!!!!
I also love the fact that my college houses food and nutrition on the second floor of our buildng. Today the Campbell Lab had a home cooked meal for us. It was soooo good. Hearty Soups, Bread, Cheeses, Desserts. mm mm MMMMMM!! I had some chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles. Lord have mercy that was delicious!!
What a lovely day it is!!
JESUS IS COOL!!
