Eating in the dark (I actually did it blindfolded, because it was a special event) is fascinating.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Really, 2011, you can go. Turns out that one day when I was out they handed out bonus checks - small ones, but still. Mine was left in my office ... but I never saw it. Really. I'm OVER 2011.

Oh, Todd, that is hugely suck!
Giftee, your package will be going out today. I hope it gets there in time for Christmas, but it will surely be before the end of the year.

Oh, for god's sake. Can you get them to cut you another one?

Thanks - they're cutting me another. Also the check reimbursing me for some office expenses I put on my personal credit card.
sigh ... guess I should be glad I didn't have my purse stolen.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I got a logo sweatshirt for Xmas. All the Americorps got one a month ago, but staff were going to have to buy them for $25 each. I guess no one did, b/c we all got one. They're nice zip hoodies, but if you want me to wear logo gear on site every day, you'd better supply it.
eta that sucks, glad they're cutting you new checks.

I'm not sure what the bonus situation is going to be like at my office this year, but frankly having a job where they let me ease back into things after my medical leave with a well-organized clearcut project that I don't have to manage anyone's work for besides my own feels like a bonus in its own right.

oh joy ... had my performance review
About what I expected. Everything needs work. No raise, but then no one's getting one.
Really, 2011. We're done.

This year has had too high a death count for my comfort.
I'm down two pets from last year, too. I don't want to taunt the apocalypse year, though. So.

Wanna come over for when I ritually BURN MY 2011 CALENDAR in early January? I don't usually do this, but I need to see a representation of this year literally go up in flames.
