Days of Celebration
It is a great joy in life, every once in a while, to have days where something of importance and note comes to pass. While these days do not happen very often (which would only lead to the standard of 'importance and note' being raised), I am pleased to announce that not only did I have one such day, but now I have been blessed with two such days in a row!
What great events have transpired to lend them such lofty designation, the reader asks? I mind not in indulging said person's curiosity.
Friday Feb. 2nd 2007
A day that should be entered into the annals of great acts of heroism and bravery. A day that should be printed in red on all calenders from this day hence. A day that should be sung in the halls of great men when they need reminder of other great men before them. A day, that were it entered in to a search ,would come up with the result.....
On this day in 2007, Avido cleaned his desk!!!
So maybe it does not score on the same level as the Germans surrendering at Stalingrad (1943), leaded gas going on sale (1923) or the first time Punxsutawney Phil stuck his head out (1887) but I think that it was an accomplishment!
I found things that I did not know I owned, things that I did not need, things that I did need and things that I needed a few weeks ago. I threw away 2/3 of a trash can of garbage, organized the rest and finally have a surface to write on with out papers in the way. I found the phone number that I had used a few months ago and needed no longer, the one I had thought I lost and had already asked for again, the one that needed to be added to my address book and the one that who knows what it belonged to because I did not write a name next to it (why would I need to do that? I just finished talking to the person, of course I am going to remember who this belongs to!).
So now I know what lies ahead. We all know what is coming really, because what is the purpose of a large clean flat surface? It is for putting things on, of course! It will all start out in neat little piles which will soon bleed into one another, then I will be too busy to sort them again, when someone will call and I will have to throw papers around to find the information that........
Ho, hum.....why try and fight the 3rd law of thermodynamics?
And the second day?
Saturday Feb. 3rd 2007
While perhaps not as momentous a day as having a desk clean for 24 hours, today was the first day of the new year where the weather was warm enough and my schedule did not demand more strict dress...................I got to wear my FLIP FLOPS!!!!!!!! Oh the wondrous freedom for the feet............ unhindered breathing of the toes! It was so great I celebrated by buying a slurpee!
