I got a couple things fixed on my old-ass car on Friday, so it was much more pleasant to drive to work today. You know. Since the wheels are going to stay on now. SRSLY.
I actually started out the day pretty pissy for reasons I don't entirely remember. Probably a lack of sleep. Coffee helped. I mean, so would've a nap, but they frown on us curling up and sleeping under our desks. Pfft. "Hurts morale." "Makes it difficult for the cleaning crew to vacuum." Whatevs.
A bunch of us headed out for a training session during lunch and learned some tricks in Excel... that I've pretty much forgotten now. Hey, that's what taking notes is for. We scored a free lunch out of it. While I was waiting to load up on This Afternoon Coma Brought to You by Pasta, a male coworker stood and very seriously addressed the room. He mentioned something about proceeding with the following despite a violation of the fire code --
No... he's not going to suggest...
...blah blah blah something about a lot of candles --
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"...we should sing Happy Birthday to Maxine."

Dude. I was embarrassed but I freakin' loved it.

I surpassed my quota for the second Monday in a row -- and actually got a tiny jump on a sixth article before quitting time -- and drove home feeling pretty good about myself. It got better when I walked up on my porch and saw that Mack Daddy Smooth had sent me a package. Inside, a bunch of stuff from Hawaii, including macadamia nut candy, banana chips, an I <3 HAWAII journal, and a pen featuring a cartoon lady in a bikini.
Gotta say the kid knows his audience.

The birthday goodness will continue as I'm due to dine with different groups of friends over the next few weeks, folks who weren't able for one reason or another to make it to the birthday festivities. My plan is to stretch my birthday out as long as possible. A few years ago, I made it halfway through December. This year? I'm aiming for June.
