I laughed when I read this: what else is she supposed to do?!

I know, I know. Just traditionally she would stay in bed and try to go back to sleep! Which I only know because she is my mother and not just my neighbor. I think I'll just get used to it -- white noise does not work for me.

I've gotten used to the train (mostly. The whistle sometime wakes me up thinking "what on earth is that noise?" and I have to actually think for a while before I remember the train goes by several times a day and always whistles. Brains are weird) so I suspect if she's pretty regular in the time she gets up you'll be able to sleep through eventually.

We are apparently chipping in to get my manager flowers for Boss Day. I told my co-workers I didn't want to, but that was last week and the other team in our department got their manager something so I guess we don't have much choice. Irritating.

Sidewalks happening!

I fucking hate boss day. Everyday is fucking boss day with the company card for lunch and the getting stuff your way and the driving a company car and getting paid more money. Fuck this made up holiday.

I fucking hate boss day. Everyday is fucking boss day

Yup. Right there with you.

You know your hockey team isn't there.

I know, right? Who am I supposed to root for if I move, the Sharks? I don't think so.

Well, boss lady was practically in tears when we give her the flowers, so I suppose that was the right call. I don't like obligatory gift giving, though.

Ugh. Totally stupid holiday AND inappropriate to ask people to give gifts upward.

In "the internet eats itself" news, a former coworker of mine just shared the photo of Princess Tickybox as "tiny winter soldier" on Facebook. She's gone viral!

AWESOME.
