Halloween

Today is Halloween and I'm at my desk working my ass off. This difference for me to day is I am wearing a Roman gladiator's garb. My forearm and chin protectors serve me well as I type email after email after email. My chest protector and cape make me feel ever so impenetrable. I feel like Russell Crowe must’ve felt when he donned a similar costume in the cinematic hit, Gladiator (2000). What a power trip he must’ve felt in between sets while he was beating up his girlfriend or wife at the time. His character was the baddest ass gladiator of them all. Much like me and my team here at work, he and his gladiator partners were amongst the best of the best and would fight to the death.

Let’s hope I don’t need to prove that point with my next phone call or email.
