High/Low, Week 22 2010

The low and high points of the week both come from the work sphere.

This was the first week at work without Tyson. And as luck would have it, two significant projects crossed my desk. While trying to get two new employees up and running. And trying to clean the desk for vacation. What can a body do? Put it in God's hands. I waited patiently to be cloned, but instead, the work just had to go into a corner until I return. "Everything's gonna be all right."

As a parting gift, Tyson attempted to convince my boss of the existence of some surplus in our group insurance line. This seldom-explored area of our business had been left gathering dust for years. Tyson muscled himself into becoming the department expert on the subject. And his perseverance paid off, as his presentation drove the point successfully home. It'd be overly boring and complicated to explain the significance of this accomplishment. What would you do if you negotiated peace in the Middle East? High five exuberantly? There you go.
