Go Vols.

Well, here it is. The long anticipated December 22nd. I can't believe it is actually here and I am actually moving on with my life after today at 5:30 p.m. I just sent out an email to a bunch of people here at work to give them my non-work email and to say good bye. It was so refreshing to write that. I think I will definitely have a glass of wine in celebration tonight.

Here is the reason my job can be entertaining:

Yesterday a lady came in to pick up some movie tickets that she had won. Well, she was absolutley thrilled to be in the same building as the "famous people." She was taking pictures and even went to the door of the lobby, stood with her toes on the edge of the carpet and leaned into the hallway, looking for someone she might recognize. HILARIOUS. So she went outside, and was taking pictures of this hideous bear that is outside in front of our building. The bear is orange and white checkerboard and in the white spaces are pictures of UT sports. Classic. So she was taking pictures of it from all angles. THEN, she knocked on the door to the lobby and wanted us to come out and take pics of her WITH the bear. So the wife of one of the department heads was in here and she went outside to take this woman's picture. Well, the woman didn't just stand next to the bear, she got on TOP of the bear and straddled the orange and white bear. All I could say was "Thank you." What a way to go out. It was a reminder to find joy in the small things, yet be discerning in where you find that joy!

The best phone call of today....
Me: Volunteer TV
Woman: (screaming) WHAT?!?
Me: Volunteer TV
Woman: Is this Channel 8???
Me: Yes, can I help you?
Woman: Well, the Lady Vols are on ESPNU tonight, what channel is that?
Me: (pause of frustration) You will have to check your TV guide for that. This is CBS, not ESPN. But that is probably ESPN2.
Woman: (shouting) SIX?
Me: (louder this time) um.... 2!! As in 1, 2!
Woman: Oh, not SIX? Well, ok, thanks.
And she hung up.
How SIX and TWO sound similar I will never know.

Let the Christmas Festivities begin!
Oh, and P.S. I slept great last night for seven hours. Thank you Lord.
