I am Alive and I got Hugged
Okay so since I'm posting it means I am alive so there. You have proof. As to the hugged part well you need to know the background.
Last week I got into some trouble because I have been sincerely relapsing into old ways and that means depression. (But I'm working once again on it and finally getting back my life together. ) You all know from my lack of phone skills I don't like it that much... I much rather email. So I emailed Lisa from CEPA that I had the revista to print but I needed to know how to proceed with the new printer. My fault was in never calling her and waiting to get an answer through email. Lo and behold I get a mean call from.....tun...tun...tun...Batra. Why hadn't I called Lisa? Why wasn't what she asked for already done? etc. etc. Basically I felt like an incompetent moron procrastinator that was also irresponsible. And that is also how I got into my boss' shit list. Yeah you heard it here... I was in Batra's shit list. I put my ass on gear and did what I needed to do. I got ahold of Lisa and she gave me some piss ant excuse for not answering me.
Later that day I got a call from Lisa that there were problems with the printer to which I rapidly called Batra and informed her. I moved quickly and did as I was told immediately. So now it was Lisa and the printers in her shit list.
Fast-foward to the CEA-CC conference three days later...
I went on Saturday and saw her (Batra's) panel. I liked it. Afterwards as the conference ended I approached her. She got a new laptop and had it in a Rolling Stones computer case (surprise, surprise) which reminded me that I had bought her rare to find Rolling Stones pins when I was in Florida. So I tell her "When I was in Florida I saw this and it reminded me of you," and took out the pins. She looked at them as a little kid does a hot fudge sunday and was mesmerized by them, but she didn't take them. I said "These are for you," she took them from my hand and gave me a big hug. I was embarrassed, but glad I bought it for her. She kept smilling at me. We talked about my thesis and told me that it was good and that I was making good progress. I was finally out of her shit list.
As to the CEPA stuff we can't find Lisa or the printers so I have to hunt them down and present their heads in a platter if things don't go well. I'm looking forward to it. :)
