I repeated most of my rant, pretty much what I posted in my LJ yesterday, in the inbriefing yesterday morning. Of course it was louder, and with more, er, inappropriate language thrown in, at first. I got started because MJ brought it up, so I was really talking to him at that point, but loudly.
I stepped outside the breakroom for some reason and CeeJay talked me calm and gave me a hug (quick detour: this is the most huggy group of people I've ever been associated with, and I've gotten almost completely comfortable with it, it's amazing), then I went back in for another round where I tried to purposely address the group and be a bit more focussed and less vulgar. I occationally got inturrupted by groundswells of people pounding on the desk and chanting my name, which would then make me break up laughing - my co-workers know how to lighten me up.:) People don't see me worked up very often, so it amuses them - I hope to keep it that way. It wouldn't stay amusing if they saw it often.
One of the Leads offered to be a go-between and talk to Needy for me, and I was a bit hesitant but did admit that perhaps a buffer would be a good idea at the moment, which drew more laughter. I ended up collecting $25, immediately - one guy wrote out a check for $10 to Needy while I was talking, because he didn't have it on him in cash. Someone suggested I should repeat the same performance the next day. Uh, no, I don't do command performances, my heart really has to be in it for me to talk to a group at all. I did write a note on the white board that we have already far surpassed the entire month of July: "GO US!" $40! Weird.
