I am at the optometrist. Apparently my depth perception is pants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um, did you guys know that the Vulture Countdown-to-streaming Friends advent calendar is actually an advent calendar?? [link] Click on the days! And then on the pictures!

We had our "party". Food brought in, basically no stoppage of work. Drew names for prizes with the majority of the employees not present for it. I got one of the 3 or 4 worst gifts. Not that really any of it is of interest to me. The target of the gifts is truck drivers. Did get a $50 gift card - to a chain restaurant of course, but $ I won't spend.
The company also gave everyone a $50 gc to Walmart. Do I guess I will hold my breath and go buy groceries.
Grump.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My employer is big on giving gift cards, which I gift on to other people for whom I would have probably bought a gift card.
I used to work at a place that did the Secret Santa/mandatory gift buying. It's just a bad idea. I gave and received a lot of Yankee Candles. (I'm allergic to candles.)

msbelle, I noticed that my supermarket has a Redeem Your Unwanted Gift Cards machine now. I'm not sure what cut it takes -- don't forget, you can trade cards on Ebay/Craigslist and so on.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't think anyone in my family served in the military. My dad was exempt for being drafted because he worked for a defense contractor(Electric Boat), and then I was born.
I was doing pretty well today, but once I got into my car to go home gloominess kinda smacked me in the head. Stupid short days...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I just lost the LBD game sitiing in a Chinese restaurant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What the hell is wrong with people? I just had to argue my nurse into coming for my regular infusion. She thought we switched to Wednesdays, when I told her I was looking to start work soon. Which I still don't know about--tentative start date is now the 17th. I am *so* fucked.
After arguing, she won't come Saturday, has to be Sunday, those are the rules. But before she'd come as early as Friday, if needed.
First the ER, now her...I have lost control of my pain management entirely, it seems. And my pain.

I decided to try and use the restaurant gift card tonight, but the wait was almost an hour and mac was not up for that. I will use it soon though, I hate it when I lose gift cards - like throwing away money.
So now we are home and neither one of use is eating anyway. Beer and SPN for me. I hope to finish S9 this weekend.

Ugh, ita, I'm so sorry.
I am finally about to go home! Hour and half late, and didn't take lunch. I may tour all the happy hours of downtown...
