An Intriguing Barometer of Morale
Mar. 1st, 2007 03:08 pmI know it's not just me who's felt overstressed lately.
Today I mentioned I'd go buy MegaMillions tickets if my officemates wanted to go in on some. This is something we do when the pot gets up to $250 mill or so, since a quarter of a billion dollars is generally enough to overcome statistical realism. Anyway, usually when I do this, people nod, and say why not, and mosey back to their desks, and find me at some point later in the day to give me a buck.
Today, just about everyone dropped what they were doing and pounded back to their workspaces to grab a dollar.
