Stupid Balloons
So Bob is not in a good mood today. I’m slammed at work with a bunch of very different projects. I usually enjoy that but without Mr Bob and something to come home to I get pretty drained. Also I’ve been helping a lot of with other people’s projects and then I asked someone else for a (rather large) favour and was turned down (which was totally his right, but just sucked after helping other people all day). I am feeble at the gym, neither the TV, nor the phone seem to be working at my house and my futon is like a rock.
So today I came into work feeling at a very low ebb (contacts didn’t want to go in, train was crowded, have no tea at home) and I entered my building and there were rainbow balloon bouquets all down the hallway. My first thought?
“Fucking balloons. I hate balloons”
Then I thought “Did I really just think “I hate balloons?”.
I must be in a pretty craptastic mood. I mean, who hates balloons?
How’s your day going?
Edit: Forget it, don't tell me how your day is going. I know how your day is going. You are all full of filet mignon and TV watchting and wish to share that with me.
Instead, What job would you like right now. I posted mine in Coco's blog.

Poor Bob. No one should have have such a crappy day that they hate balloons. Go hijack a few balloons and draw silly faces on them. Then leave them floating around the lab. That should make your day a bit brighter.
As for what job I'd love to have? The one above that is all about tv watching and filet mignon eating.
No, forget what momma said. I'd just go over and pop a few of them. That will help you feel better. :)
A job would be nice. Any job.
I would like to be a professional dildo tester.
And I like balloons! If you want to really impress an elevator full of doctors have an accomplice (or kid if you have one) hand you an unblown 12-inch balloon and blow it up with one puff. You will be a celebrity for the rest of the elevator ride.
I would like to be an alcoholic beverage taste-tester right now. I mean, if you have to take work home, WOOOOHOOO!
I'm sorry, I only have this NY strip here with blue cheese on top. I'd still share, if you want to.
And take momma's suggestion about the balloons, but draw your labmates and write their names on them.
Pfft @ Kim. What's wrong with MY suggestion?
LOL @ Swami! Maybe that and Weltek's idea as a part time job!
So what were the balloons for?
I don't know. Maybe annoying happy people?
I like mm's suggestion of popping them, but instead of just popping them, try to put small holes in them so they deflate slowly.
I used to like to do that.
So all the balloons are now gone.
No, it wasn't me that removed them, but I have to say that walking down the hall and imagining them all explode in my mind did make me slightly more cheerful.
Thanks
I can't believe that Bob didn't make them go boomy. I'm worried.
My ideal job? Rich retiree.
