I just got the 15-year gift catalog thingy. I don’t think ours are as generous as some. But whatev. At 5 years I got a car emergency kit that I still have. At 10 a small handbag.

This is a thing companies do?

(MSFT gave you a random crystal statue thing, each milestone's larger than the last until they literally have to wheel it out for you. I threw mine in the trash. Current job does have bonuses at certain milestones.)

Ooh a rocking chair would be nice! I admit, if an air fryer were an option I might go for it just because I’m not going to buy one for myself but…

Debet good luck with the job searching!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At some point, I think I could get one of those college chairs, but I hope there are better options at that level!

Also, I made the mistake of responding to someone being wrong on the internet, and now I have been accused of being a deranged person who needs mental help.

I am hyper aware of the chair, because my old boss and her husband were long time employees of the hospital and when she moved to be nursing faculty she no was no longer eligible I actually looked to see whether they could purchase it because she was so obsessed with the chair. Readers, she did not get a chair.

Meanwhile, I am now obsessed with the fact that we only have about. 6 PHD faculty who are even considered “real” by the University as a whole, and can in fact get a chair, but more importantly, serve on University committees or vote on anything at a University level. It is similar for the school of education.

But I do love my Instant Pot and would not say no to an air fryer at 25 years@

Our wings are not tired.

How are the Blizzaristas doing? Looks pretty white!

Sorry about the moment of derangement, Pix. I've cut down on my FB time enough that it has been a while since I slipped into that situation.

I heard that they lost power in Cape Cod. I hope flea is OK.

That is really bad!

flea definitely lost power, but they seemed pretty well prepared? I am fine! All I have to do is clear off the front steps and my mother's car. My neighbor does the rest with the snowblower. Which is amazing! And this morning he was apologizing for blowing snow onto our stairs. I was like, you are fine! You do literally 90% of this job!

Now Pix, you know it's crazy to read the comments.

Happy to report a cousin of mine has gotten engaged. And Mom got a negative Covid test result Friday, so her seasonal cold is just a cold.
