I Should Be Working

I should be working at this moment, but I have to interrupt that to say something about the new gig that just couldn't wait until tonight when I get home.

I was talking with a co-worker about how I have to call the Yankees box office this morning (that's what TicketMeister said to do) and my boss overheard me. A few minutes later, I approached him about what the "long distance calls" policy was (since some companies will fire you for it, but then at others, it's treated almost like a perk, "call whomever you want", etc.)

ANYHOW... he comes over to my desk and says "Here, if you're a fan, you can use these tomorrow night. You won't find better seats."

Field Championship Box Seats. They don't get better than that. Apparently, the company owns a set of 4 season tickets down there in the great seats. (See the image at the right for "what my view will be")

And, to speak to how cool the work environment is in general, another co-worker came over to my desk a few minutes ago, offering up 2 out of the 4 tickets he'd acquired for this evening's game. "Gotta share the wealth," he said.

This is the sort of thing you just can't make up. Or if you did make it up, it still wouldn't be as cool as the reality.
