End of Days for the Maternity Ward

Everyone in the office knows me either as the fertility god or the director of the maternity ward.  There's just way too many pregnant women among my staff for the past year or so.  More than normal, I should say.  You can review my "eros" posts of yore to check on what I'm talking about as I'm posting this via email and don't have the bandwidth to go through the links right now.

Yesterday, around 4.40 in the afternoon, the last of my staff, Christine, gave birth to a healthy baby girl via c-section.  She apparently ran out of amniotic fluids before the baby came out hence the need to deliver that way.  From the report I received, she and the baby are doing great.  No worries at all.

Now that she's given birth and I have no more pregnant staff in my team, I wonder if my team's name will be changed come the new year.  Right now we're being hailed as the maternity ward with my boss being the! captain, considering every team he has has at least 1 to 2 pregnant women on board.  Might my team be re-named to the bordello?  Hmmm...

I think I'll rename my team to The Kindergarten before anyone else gets any bright ideas for my team.  What do you think?  What name shall I call my team in the next few months?  The table's open to suggestions.  ;)

The Coffee Lover's Prayer

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal(tm):
For thou art with me;
thy cream and thy sugar, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks;
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.

Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of Mocha forever.
