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.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
This year brought me the purchase of my house, and I am thankful for that. But the rest of it? Can kiss my arse.
Here's to a WONDERFUL 2012 for all of youse!

Mailed my giftee's package this afternoon. Holy shit, when did postage get so expensive? Gonna have to be satisfied with getting the package by Dec. 29th, because shooting for the 24th would have added $25 to the cost. TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. Nuts. Geez, what happened to the days when I could ship priority for under fifteen dollars?

They gave me hand gardening tools. I think they might be from the 99 cent store as there is no brand name on them and they are a silly color that does not say 'serious gardening tool'. I am not keeping them. I have hand tools.
