hump day

inching toward the top, hoping to coast through to the weekend.

The addition of at least six extra bodies at work in the form of freelancers has suddenly and dramatically increased the noise level in the afternoon. Neiman's has also increased the number of their personnel, resulting in more noise in their area, fewer parking spaces in the lot and an all too frequent emptiness in the diet dr. pepper slot of the soft drink machine. And now's the time of year when the restroom really resembles a sty after the pigs have had a good wallow. All I can do is clap on the headphones and get to work.
