Today, out of the blue, on April Fool’s Day, my boss said to me, “Do NOT do your logs in bubble letters.”
Our logs are supposed to be super-professional and formal, and are read by all the important people associated with our project, and are actually kept for like three years after our project is done, just in case they need to look something up. I would never just decide to do my logs in bubble letters. But Nick told me not to. On April Fool’s Day. What was he thinking?
Luckily he wasn’t looking at me, or he would have seen my silent communication with Dave. I could not have totally hidden the excitement if I’d tried, and it clearly said, GREATEST IDEA EVER.
I’m not bad at bubble letters, but turns out writing tiny, legible bubble letters in full sentences and numbers for chemistry results takes a while. But I persevered, and my logs look awesome. I am especially proud of my bubble signature… it actually looks like a cartoony outline of the real thing. I hope Nick takes a minute to appreciate that, before he makes me re-write my logs. I also wish I was coming in for day shift tomorrow, so I could watch the reaction. Dave promised to fill me in.
I was so excited while I was writing them. I kept showing everyone at work my bubble signature, with a real signature for comparison, including this cranky Chief who doesn’t really like me that much. “Pretty, good, huh?” I asked him.
He stared at me for a while (nice brake from the usual glare), then said, “Are you for real?”
“I think sooooo!”
Then he told me to cut back on my medication. I’ll win him over!
