April Fools

No, I didn't forget the apostrophe. I'm talking about all the humans on this, the first day of April, 2010. We are each, in our own way, a Fool.

And I'm a HUGE Fool!

One week to go before Boyfriend returns. This, the fifth week of his absence, is my most hectic since I last moved from one apartment to another, because I moved my office at work.

Well, actually, a LOT of people moved my stuff from one office to two others.

Yes, I have two offices. One is called an office, the other is called a "workroom." That's where I do my graphics…sorta…stuff…. Something few people understand but everybody agrees is necessary.

Since January, my Boss and I and one other Tech have been behind locked doors, trying to adjust to what it was our "Betters" had decided we were going to be doing here from now on. It quickly became apparent there really wasn't anything that could technically be called a "plan." Our Betters are making it up as they go along. And so are we.

This morning, while buying breakfast, I came up with my latest "plan."

Since nobody has a clear idea of what exactly it is I'm actually supposed to be doing, I've decided I'm going to do whatever the hell I want, until I get reprimanded. By that, I don't mean just the Boss' saying "Hey - I told you not to do that." Nope - in fact - since Boss is one of "Us" and he's being hurt by "Them" more than I am, I'm going to do my best not to make his life any harder.

I'm talking the union getting involved, and a permanent note being put in my file.

In short, I've decided to be what I am when I am at my best: a shit-disturber.

That is to say, a gigantic April Fool.
