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.
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.
