Something's a-brewin'

It's Wednesday - and it's unusually quiet at my office. Aside from the "white noise" that comes from the ceiling, I don't even hear any phones ringing! The usually verbose and volume-challenged manager who sits on the other side of my cube wall is so quiet I hardly knew he was even in the office today! :-) I hear occasional typing. Occasional conversations. But everything seems muffled. Am I getting an ear infection that is making the sounds of the world around me fade away? It feels like something is brewing - and I don't mean the storms outside my window. TTFN JMS
