Today was a big deadline at work.  We have various support responsibilities, so I was worried that it may not go as well as planned.
Man, I really thought today could be a crazy day.

Well, it sort of turned out that way.  There was a big event at work today, and I wasn't sure how it would go.

Ohh okay I see, yeah I always get excited when new things happen at work too.
