Bucket Power

I'll have to admit that the Full Moon won. I was in touch with the werewolf within, but the moon was just to powerful. I succumbed to the bucket power. I was more Gleek today than the Wonder Twins. I was meant to be more of an assistant, helping others with their issues than being able to tend to my own work. I do like that part of my job, but gee whillickers, not today. I had two really enormously messy cases I needed to resolve today but only completed one. All day, I had this one case spread across my desk and I kept hearing from everyone, even my boss "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need your help". And really, I can't say no. NO REALLY, I can't say NO! Especially when the other skilled counterpart was out today and our new hire is still learning.
So today I spent shifting my work aside to delve into the myriad messes of other folks. They were wonderfully messy too. I would pretend to be Gleek. Being pleasant and joking along to make things not so stressful. I would activate my bucket power (create a bucket out of thin air) to help the situation along by carrying the "problem" to safety. The problem would go away and I would deactivate my bucket power and get back to doing what I was doing. I'm not sure how many times I pulled a bucket out of thin air but I got tired of finding it. What I really needed was my Twin to show up so I could say "Wonder Twin Powers - Activate!" so that my twin could turn into a Guardian Gorilla, or some such nonsense to play bouncer so I could turn into a water hose and wash my problems away. Alas, all I could manage was to tap out a two page letter with my prehensile tail and call it a day.
However, today was Friday (+1)
and, today was payday (+1) = 2
AND, I was blessed with MORE Pecan Pie Mini-Muffins (+1) = 3
I know that's not how baseball works, but I consider THAT a home run. *WOOT*
Thank you mysterious PPMM friendly unnamed person.

Pecan Pie Mini Muffins

Remember Fivel the mouse and the song "Some where out there". Well that's who I imagined myself to be and what I felt like singing forlornly when I finished the last of the *ever so few* pecan pie mini muffins that were shared with me. I cannot in good selfish conscience divulge their source locally (no, I cannot and will not). All I know is that my diabetic hind-halves would very graciously appreciate another *precious few* along with any crumbs that might be lingering in the bottom of the baking tin. uh oh, now I'm feeling like Gollum because I'm coveting the precious round bits of goodness.

**HINT HINT**
