Secret Santa gift is mailed, yay.
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.
Me too! And the P.O. was relatively painless.
I had the nicest guy at the post office. Long day, long line, and he was calm and funny and sweet and patient. I wanted to hug him.
Erika!
I got Waitress yesterday - perfect. A book full of patterns I want to knit and a good movie to knit them by.
Thank you.
I love that movie(though I don't have one myself...maybe I should) so I was psyched to see it on your list. You're so welcome!
Mine will not be mailed for another few days. A particularly awesome part of it, that I thought had fallen through, is now back ON. But will not be ready until Thursday.
Other happy things:
Big box waiting for me at the office today! (Actually it's been waiting since Friday but I've been working from home for dog reasons.) Yay!
Also, someone left an $85 bottle of wine on my desk. Um, for me, not left by accident. I don't know I've ever had such a thing. I'll have to find a good occasion for it.
Can you trade it in for four $20 bottles? I can tell terrible wine from good wine, but the different between good wine and really, really good wine is lost on me. In whiskey, I can tell.

Oh, the private sector. I can't even say I miss it, because we did so much public-sector work that nobody had any cash to throw around for fancy holiday gifts.
OTOH, my sister, also in the public sector, spends hundreds of dollars every Christmas buying presents for her direct reports. Every workplace is different, I guess.
I have totally been working in the wrong private sectors, dudes. Though I am currently wrapped up in a blanket with my name and the company logo on it, which I got a couple years ago for Christmas. This year I got a card from one manager. In years past, I think I may have gotten some candy? And usually there was a Yankee Swap type exchange.
