The porridge pot.

It was a busy day at work. Since we implemented the verification process and absorbed the workload instead of distributing it amongst the eight sups, the four sups on my floor have been verifying transactions day in, day out. The in-tray's never empty (always full!!). I got quite tired of the pile and when Ros came by for yet another verification, we had this conversation. Very spontaneous one:

Me: "You remember the ladybird books we used to read when young?"
Ros: Looked a bit lost.
Me: "Uhm, those little storybooks with the hardcovers."
Ros: "Ah, yes. Why?"
Me: "This in-tray reminds me of a story. You know, the one with the porridge?"
Ros: Looked lost again. "Porridge?"
Me: "Yea, the one with the porridge pot. No matter how much you ate, the pot was always full. This tray is like that. No matter how much I do, it's still as full. And it's going to overflow."

We looked at each other and burst into laughter. I think she never expected such crap from me, hahaha. Well, neither did I.

Anyways, TGIAF. A few more hours to go. Tomorrow, I'm pigging out with the withdrawal sups at amara. Hopefully the day passes peacefully.
