Doing The Thing

My Dear Princess and Dear Friends,

I am not sure where the phrase "doing the thing" came from. Or who started using it at work, but it's a thing now. Fazzy is always asking me to "do the thing" to which I reply that, I'm doing the thing, Fazzy, I'm doing the thing.

Today was very much a doing the thing day.

I felt like I was going at 100mph for all of today. Actually, it just felt like thing after thing after thing.

My day started with immediately being scooped up by Shenée to help her tidy up some rooms which had just had new VC tech installed. She was flustered and her flustering then flustered me also and she had me running from the 3rd floor to the 5th, to the 4th, back to the 5th, back to the 4th...

Eventually I settled to do my actual work. Only to find I could NOT locate my laptop bag! I completely panicked trying to remember which of the three floors I might have left it on! I rushed from the 5th to the 4th to the 3rd to the 5th back to the 4th where I confessed in a panic to Shenée that this disaster had befallen me. 

"Oh I took it. I was trying to help. It's here. Sorry." 

She said. 

I told her it was not a big deal but internally I was screaming. 

PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO HELP MEEEEEE.

That set the tone for the day which was attempting to put out one fire after another. The bright spot in the day was being taken to lunch by Fazzy. But on our way back to the office she suddenly shouted, "OH MY GOD!"

What? What?!? WHAT?!????

"I'VE GOT A MAGNUM IN THE FREEZER!!!"

Fazzy had seen a bus stop advertisment for ice-cream and it reminded her that she had an almond magnum waiting for her at home. 

She was quite excited. 

"Shahier had better not have eaten it," she added.

I do hope for his sake that he had not. 

So that was my day. Eventually, it stopped.
