Much interview~ma to MG's DH!

Grrr argh!

I just realized that when I grabbed a pair of tights this morning - I grabbed a pair of BROWN tights. . . which I am wearing with my black skirt.

Curse my lowly lit bedroom!

So my company's Christmas party was Saturday. I found other things to do, as I loathe corporate parties. Still, there was a nice $40 gift card to Wal-Mart as a gift. Thing is, my boss hates the idea of cash as gifts, he thinks gifts should be things. So what he wants is for everyone to go out and buy something, bring it in to work, have it wrapped up, then have a party here at work so we can all unwrap our presents. I'm thinking of saying, "Sorry, John, but the food is in the refrigerator at home, and my husband wanted to wear his new boots."

My boss is a remarkably employee-minded man, one of the fairest, most considerate bosses I've ever worked for. But he takes it a bit far sometimes.

Look at this totally cute kitty!

So round and cute and stripey.

That cat has thumbs. Huh.

That cat has thumbs. Huh.

The feline plan for world domination through evolution proceeds apace.

My cat Tanuki would LOVE to be able to open doors. She understands that you have to twist the knob. I'm just glad that SHE isn't a polydactyl kitty.

Beth - he has been out of work since Halloween - so over a month. This is fast for interviews?

He also took a test for the Post Office and just got the results - he passed which means he is on their list of qualified people for when they actually have a job opening.

Nicole - I'm better. My cough has not completely gone away and the snot monster continues to lurk, but I don't feel like I have been hit by a truck anymore. Or, I didn't until cramps slammed me yesterday.

Loved hearing about the great parenting Emmett is getting...and about teaching children that fear is inevitable but not terminal. Good on ya.

Speaking of fear as well as feeling kinda dumb, I took my Sekrit Santa gift to the PO this am (It has a long way to travel...I'm hoping it makes it on time!) and had a bit of a panic on the way.

This is my first Buffista SS and it occurred to me that I may have done it wrong. Is the sekrit part simply that the prezzie is coming...or should the sender be sekrit as well? Cuz, if so? Duh-umb...I put my name all over it.

Well, I guess if this is the thing causing me the most anxiety today...I'm doing okay. And I'm hopeful that my giftee enjoys!

(I'm certain that the 'all packages must be thoroughly and completely identifiable' rule in my brain somes from having an anthrax scare three doors down from my house a few years ago. Funny how these things stick with you.)

Beej, I always put my name on SS gifts. Some people do and some don't. No worries.

So, maybe 75%, MG? Oh, and watch the mail for a little something. Nothing big.
