one of the main reasons i love my job

i love the people i work with. absolutely love them. was it hobbitsister who asked if i work in 'the office'? a place where we have more fun than we actually work? because yes, i just might. this was my twitter status yesterday, and no, it was not based on a dream:
"as i was wielding glamdring against some game of thrones sword,legolas shot my adversary in the head so he died.nothing beats the fellowship"
because, naturally, i had to go into another office yesterday to ask Thing 5 something. she is in the midst of a rubber band war with one of her new officemates. to defend myself from him, as i had to walk between them, i brought a huge stick which we found in my office when we moved in. he whipped out a yard stick. i told him that glamdring (gandalf's sword) could totally beat his, which he then proceeded to name ice, which apparently is a game of thrones sword. we were then at a bit of a stand-off, as we argued over which sword is more powerful. and then Thing 5 shot him in the middle of the forehead with a rubber band, so he had to die, while i meanly cackled that legolas had my back.
this is the environment in which i work. 
which is why i've checked my email a few times last night and today, looking for love from people. i've gotten a few emails, and i ran into Thing 5 on there as she and i both worked a little today since we ducked out of work early yesterday to go to happy hour. and now tonight, as i was thinking i was pathetic for checking my work email to see if anyone loved me, i ran into angie on there, and she was so excited to see me because she's been home alone all day, and she said she was so excited to here the *bing!* of a chat. 'and i missed you!' 
good grief. i love these people.
