Speaking of caards--in packing my other carry on, I found a Saks $25 off purchases of $150 or higher card. Why didn't I know this earlier, when I was SHOPPING or something?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Though...if I was going to buy something from Saks, they have at least one of the pretty Chantelle bras that fit me, and there's no way I rotate these puppies (not the sweater puppies--they're rotated exactly sufficiently) enough...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Sufjan Stevens has put out an alternative to the typical holiday music. 58 songs of alternative.

Matt, that sucks. I'm sorry your vacation is getting hosed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm winning LDB but losing big time on "Mele Kalikimaka." It's not a good trade.

Because books.
I like Little Drummer Boy. And most Christmas music, actually. I'll listen to it all for everyone else?

I may have to seize the cat.
Hi Buffistas! How are you guys? I'm doing quite well. I thought I wasn't going to have anything to say here in Natter because my job is awesome but then this thing happened... We have a new tech support guy and upon learning that my job title is managing editor, he decided to show me websites for his two start-ups, for which he needs some editorial work done... for no money... Awkward... I think this is his second day. It was our first meeting.
But other than that, life is keen! I like LDB so I don't mind losing that game, but I could do without "Santa, Baby." Maybe I'll get "Teach Me to Understand Christmas" from Community and just play it every time I hear "Santa Baby" start...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, thank goodness I mostly work with the nice people now. I went to apologize in person for the clusterfuck of the last couple of days, and the person in charge could not have been nicer about it. Of course I knew in real life that it was a bunch of things leading to the problems, but always expect to shoulder all blame. PHEW!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am stuck sitting next to my husband while he and his father rewrite his counter offer email. He is very wordy and I am late for work.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hi, Kiba!
I haven't heard "Little Drummer Boy" or much other Christmas music this year. Except, for some reason, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Which, if you gotta hear one Christmas song over and over, is probably a better than average choice.
