Recent News... Just for Pope Gregory... Finding the nativity An accelerated rate To tell the secrets of my prison-house House and a shelf

2005-01-03 - 8:31 a.m. Tearing off a page Happy 2005! Big congratulations to our newlywed, Celyn, whose wedding we were unable to attend [insert rant about how the government is going to have to deal with the insanity of airline price swings; Reagan-nomics here we come again]. I�m joining Finlaech in the I-didn�t-sleep-cause-I-got-used-to-setting-my-own-holiday-hours boat. I think I finally nodded off about 3 am. Warm, relaxed, happy, just not of the sleep. Possibly the caffeine over dinner didn�t help. More likely, Roland is just too entertaining. Honestly, we even had fun cleaning the basement. Oh, not kitties-and-ice-cream fun, but entertainment still was jad. [I did spend a chunk of vacation watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and it�s affected my speech patterns. I was hoping for cute, winsome, Buffy-speak. Roland advises me that I sound more like Anya. Hon, am I doing that thing again where I become annoying?] Yawn. Blink. But, I�m in office with everything shiny for the new year. Desk clean, papers filed, calendars hung. I have an embarrassment of calendars. The irony of calendars, those oft given holiday gifts, is that you never know which years you�ll get one and which years the elves will skip. I�ve been on the skip for three years, so I bought myself a calendar. Then, my science team sent cool calendars. Then, my Dad, my Mom and my Gen had calendars under their tree for me. But, I love them all for their cyclical art and daily dose of pith, so I now have: Space Science 2005 (Cool science pictures. Bonus, just size for officemate and I to use for scheduling the meeting area in our office.) Gardens of Kyoto (for the Zen. Also, tree pretty) Despair.Com Demotivators (For the pith. This month�s saying �Motivation: If A Pretty Poster and a Cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind Robots will be doing soon.�) James Christensen (for the art; this month�s piece is entitled �Lawrence Pretended Not to Notice that a Bear was Attached to His Coat Tail�) Dilbert day-by-day (Daily cartoon and the violent fun of tearing off a page. Ruff.) Wonder what calendars everybody else wracked up? I bet the Fin has his own DeMotivator 2005. Speaking of dates, �xcuse me. I have to go make my team cry by reminding them they have to deliver stuff to me tomorrow. � � Scribble to Theo previous - next �
