My building didn't blow up so I'm back at work. Sorry, Ms. M, but you should be careful what you wish for. Next time Simon is in one of his hyper moods you may just find him gift wrapped a la Hannibal Lecter style and left on your porch as a gift.
I got cussed out via e-mail for not being a team player and giving 58 hours a week for my company. Where am I, in Japan? This company does not own my soul. My off time is for me and me only. I already work 45 hours a week and do an hour bus commute (1/2 hour each way). That is enough. I'm so pissed off I could kung fu a bear.
My cat Trinity has a place where she stashes stuff. It's in the bathroom under the towel rack. Mostly she takes pretty shiny things like eye glasses, watches and earrings. My friend, Paige, watched the cats one weekend and commented on how Trinity would keep trying to run off with her earrings. Trinity is even sneaky enough to pretend she's being cute and rubbing against your face and then she'll bite your diamond studs and yank them out of your ears in a fluid movement. I want to teach her to do this to strangers. She could sit by the fence and look all cute and when strangers bend down to pet her she could grab their jewelry and run. When they come to my door I'd just say "A striped cat? No, striped cat here, just a gray cat" then I could retire and we could just live off of jewelry I'd sell on e-bay. Anyway, last night I came home and found that Trinity had eaten half a blueberry candy cane. The rest was all gooey and broken up under the towel rack. Very strange, but this is also the cat that loves fresh mango.
Simon came home with a new coat last week. It was a brand new Columbia Sportswear jacket that he bought from some guy on the street for $50. He told me that the guy said his roommate used to work at the Columbia Sportswear warehouse and they were selling the "free" merchandise to get their furnace fixed. First off this transaction took place two blocks from a giant Columbia Sportswear store and it still had the $200 price tag on it. This was a hot coat! I asked Simon if he really believed that story. He said yes but I told him that he just wanted to believe it. He gave the coat to his Dad for Christmas so we no longer have the "free" merchandise.
I got a very cute card from Pigulet for the Diaryland Christmas Card exchange. It's so exciting getting mail that isn't adverts or bills!
29 days of straight rain. I need a tanning bed or to fill my cubicle with sand and mai tais.
