Thank {insert deity of choice} It's Over

Finished the 5:00 sprint and uploaded to NaNo for final word count.  I am glad to see November come to a close. It's been a challenge and it's been fun. For the first time I have completed a story with a beginning, a middle and an end. I even like it well enough to want to 'fix' it.

Today was crazy for me.  It was a combination of things I suppose, sleep deprivation being high on the list.  I also think that knowing this was the last day my mind went a bit wonky.

Keep in mind that I have not really slept for a week.

I got the giggles at work. Everything was funny.  My boss has a closing with [name omitted]. I worked for this creep for a month and I decided it would be best to use my alter ego Gert to answer the phones.  

Doesn't everybody have an alter ego? Mine is Gertrude Stankovich.

THEN I decided that it would be even more funny if I answered the phone using a different name every time.

This is Celeste.

This is Temperance.

My boss was rolling on the floor laughing trying to figure out how I was keeping a straight face while I answered the phones.

THEN I decided that I should use a J name and if I could end it with a y sound that would be even better.

Names I used: Julie, Jodie, Jessie, Jolie, Josie, Jackie, Jypsy, Junie, Jordy, Janie, Jackie, Joani, joy, Justine and Josephine among others.

As I used a name I crossed it off the list I had created.  It was getting late in the day and the phone rang, "Good afternoon, this is... awkward pause while I look at the list... Josie"

There are times when sleep deprivation is awesome. The whole office decided that this should become a month end tradition.
