The 1s

I was at a co-worker's desk yesterday and found these 1s.  He said I could have them so I took them, kept one for myself, and gave the other two to the other Executive Assistants in the office.  

Later, I sent the other EAs an email that said this:


"Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep."

- Fight Club. :)

Sorry to geek out, I'm weirdly obsessed with the 1s right now.


The other EAs thought i wanted to start a flight club...  Later, I sent them another email that said this:


I feel like i've just given you too much exposure to my over active mind. :)  sorry!  

what happened was, at the end of today someone asked about the 1s.  they said something like, "what's with the 1s?"  i responded, "all the EAs have 1s... (then off the top of my head said something like) you know, cause we're the 1s who do everything, and the 1s who know all the stuff, and the 1s who get blamed for all the crap..." haha...   and, that reminded me of this quote from fight club and made me realize that we are the 1s...  (pause for dramatic effect.).  anyway, it doesn't have anything to do with fight club (or anything really) directly, just reminded me of that quote from the movie.  ("...we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances.  We guard you while you sleep...")  it's a loose connection but, i guess i was thinking that we're the "we (or 1s)" he was referring to in the movie.  the people who get it all done.  sooo yeah, i made the connection, thought it was sort of interesting and that it gave the 1s a purpose, so i thought i'd send it along thinking you guys would also make the same amazing connection and we'd all be proud of the fact that we found a reason for the 1s.  ?  

:D 

(do you think i'm crazy now?  i mean, more than before...?)

I don't think you're crazy. And I love Fight Club.

that last part was actually a part of the email to my co-workers, but thanks for letting me know. :)
