This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The InvisAlign non-braces braces thing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Benefit of working from home: tater tots for lunch!

(Yeah, I know people who work in offices may be able to go out to a restaurant that serves tater tots, but all I had to do was stroll into my kitchen and toss them in the oven.)

Battered fish at home for lunch plus watching The Good Wife.

Getting back into Real Work mode is hard.

Since I didn't really take time off over the holidays, I get to be the annoying person emailing just-returned folks to remind them of the information they promised me! FEAR ME.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

When my mom died, I had her gmail forwarded to my account. I unsubscribed her from junk e-mail and responded to any e-mails from folks I wasn't otherwise able to notify. And then I forgot about it.

It has been over 5 years and today I got an e-mail from one of her friends from Alameda. She is someone I tried to contact but didn't have any contact information. I was totally thrown at first because I didn't remember the forward and was clueless how she found me. I sent her a response with news of mom's passing along with basic family update info.

Honestly I'm still feeling totally thrown.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Steph, holy crap, THREE librarians couldn't figure that out? I swear I would have butted in with "Are you looking for The Diary of Anne Frank?" right at the start. Minor rudeness, to avert larger crisis.

My boss, who is half a world away in India, is on the verge of having a control meltdown. It hasn't happened yet, but I can feel the disturbance building in the Force.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Got through my training, and either the Claritin wore off or this isn't allergies. Blergh.

God damn it, I just volunteered myself to join a conference call. Why did I do that? I guess because repeatedly saying the same thing via email wasn't working?
