Today is "Talk Like Pirate Day" and I nearly missed it...
It seems that the Cap'n told us we had to move from the promenade deck to the bilge for reasons that hardly make sense, but since when has that been a constraining factor at my place of employment? Actually the Cap'n was told by people above that the move had to take place today. We have been expecting it for a while, but as we looked at the progress of the renovations in the bilge -- errr -- basement, we didn't see it coming this week.
So given the choice between moving and walking the plank, I lost my cubicle with a real window (which I enjoyed for the last four years) and am now in a windowless basement room with a cubicle, no cell service, and my favorite classical radio station can't break through the concrete foundation. I am thankful for streaming audio and gigabit ethernet.
Well, I did a lot today, but not much in the way of fulfilling my job description....
Well, enough bellyaching. Time to belay the talk of mutiny and settle into the new crew quarters.
This is "bilge rat" signing off.

Ahoy yee Matey! Arr! I remember the last Pirate Day. I thought the hospital male nurse was making it up until I read your blog!!
Yes...I remember saying Arr and talking like a pirate, and acting loopy until they put me under for an operation.
Hope you get your window back!
Yeah, I thought about you when I wrote today's posting. I hope your TLAP day was less eventful than the last one....
