I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

>What I would really like to do is to have monthly donuts/muffins/pastries people can grab as they want accompanied by an email noting the events we know about, rather than an "event", but I am not sure that will fly.

I, for one, would love that. I hate celebrating my birthday at work.

And then there's a dancing hamster thing, but that's a whole 'nother story.

One of my favorite workplace shenanigans involved a Kung Fu Hamster, a ransom note, and demand for payment in pennies for the hamster's safe return.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Has any buffista given a loan through Kiva?

I gave Kiva gift certs to my family for Christmas. A couple of them have made loans already and said it was very easy.

I'm in the antisocial club. Er, well, you know what I mean. The creepy peer pressure involved in workplace parties tends to push my Hulk smash button. So I usually hide in my office until they're over.

If I'm close enough with someone that I genuinely want to celebrate their birthday/spawning/whatever, I'm already intending to do that outside the office. And if I don't... why spend the energy pretending to care? Doing my actual job is less draining than making small talk with people I don't give a damn about.

not your mom's socks.

how do I phrase my reply into a 'no':

  • we all have neat cameras and all like to take thousands of photos of everything
  • our families like to look at pictures
  • therefore it seems logical that we should be able to put all of our photos from all of our cameras up on the web so that everyone can download them in all of their 24"x30" glory and be happy. We don't really care what people who might see the site for the first time and be confused by pic-a-palooza might thing, nor do we give a jot about photo-privacy or picspam.
  • we do not want you or anyone you know to suggest choosing between the photos, adding captions, or resizing them.
  • yes, we have met your friend flickr. can you build something like that just for us?
