Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I could use one of those to deal with the dead skin on my feet.

That which does not kill you should RUN

That's totally why I'm doing it.

Is there a special name for that? Or should I google "fish pedicure"? Cause now I want one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want a fish pedicure so bad!

Doh, Jesse!!

My manager gave me a $15 GC to amazon. Which is cool, but I think it's probably her own money (and she has like 15 reports?). And then I feel guilty I didn't. Uh anything for any of my people? But...(they are not my direct reports, they are working for me on this project, but still)

I wouldn't get anything for someone who wasn't a direct report. (And I might not have this year, due to paying out of pocket for other stuff this fall that the org used to pay for, except I did it last year and some of the people are the same ....)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My horrible old boss gave really nice gifts. This good boss gives nothing. I prefer getting nothing and having a considerate boss.

I am out shopping, mostly for myself, but also small stuff for Mac and finishing off the parents with gift cards and donations. Got nails done all silver and I have my one party tonight.

I'm on vacation through the 3rd!!!!

I'm wrapping up school work that is due this week and then I'm on school vacation through the 1st, though I should get a jump on a paper that will be due on the 8th.

Presents are all purchased and wrapped. I'm not cooking on Christmas. Once again C has asked to cook - like I'd say no. We aren't traveling anywhere, aren't having any added guests, just us. So it is pretty calm.

I am going to see if any friends want to do a low-key game night for NYE.
