this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I am agog at how big/heavy the box is! (Also, because I'm me, even though you told me they would be here today, I forgot, so it was a nice surprise!)

Where's your sense of adventure, Matt? Mmm, vermin.

I love the travelling nail polish box, yay! I don't know if I should participate, but I love that it may exist again (or continues to exist, whatever. Things I am bad at - mailing packages in a timely fashion and maintaining my nails, so I should continue to stay away from the travelling nail poliush box, alas).

I forgot to tell y'all yesterday - the Customer Service Appreciation dealie-bob yesterday had a superhero theme - all the consumer support people wore costumes and decorated their cubes with some interpretation of superheroes. My favorite was Batgirl, who did her cube all in pink and black and wore a black t-shirt with the sparkly pink batlogo and a pink tutu. She was the one that welcomed us to their little maze of cubicles and I exclaimed "Sparkly Pink Batman!", forgetting that not everyone has that as a reference and she corrected me that she was Batgirl and said her daughter told her Batgirl doesn't wear a tutu. We agreed that Batgirl could wear a tutu if she wanted to and she looked great.

Teppy, it is at Jilli's house.

I wonder if they can/should be merged? I could just send it on to Jilli's when I'm done plundering it. (If she's okay with that, of course.)

Ok. I need ALL the motivation today. I'm so behind at work (some on stuff that only hurts ME, like my expense reports) because I've barely been home, and so busy that when I get home I just want to slack. But tomorrow my parents are in town and next week I'm traveling with my boss and then on vacation, so today needs to be CRAZY PRODUCTIVE. Help?

Go meara, you can do it!*\\o/*

If I had spare motivation I would give you some, but I am, as usual, running at a deficit myself.

Huh, Starbucks app did not give me the option to tip my barista today. Weird. She was very helpful, too!

Batman, the world’s greatest vigilante, DOESN’T USE GUNS. He uses unimaginable wealth and science to protect Gotham. He’s like love child of Neil deGrasse Tyson and Ronda Rousey raised by Mike Bloomberg.
