Happy Birthday, quester!

ION, I came in to work today to find a Christmas card (!) on my desk from my boss. Inside it was a $40 gift certificate to a local brew pub. Color me gobsmacked. He handed out $15 gift cards to a local movie theater to the entire department at our Christmas party last week. It would have been more than enough for me. This extra? I feel a little like I don't deserve it, somehow.

I am so sorry I started the toilet terror!

Work. Hmph. A few things fell through cracks. My fault. Whoopsie. But I'm torn with not giving a shit.

I have keyboard confusion. Apparently, I got used to my parents' craptastic one and now can't type for shit on work or laptop. Annoying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Toilet Terror vs. Toilet~ma. Which will win?

I have even less work to do today than I did yesterday. Good lord.

Somebody here in Chicago stole $50,000 worth of frozen broccoli.

Sometimes I get a craving for greens, man. It's a vegaddiction! I'm not proud of what it makes me do.

I had a cat who'd hunt broccoli. And then growl while eating it. She was odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, quester!

Of course you deserve it, Sail!

I think it's probably a good idea for mac to practice with away from mom, separate from first day of school. But still! Little noodle.
