raybearHave a mentioned my new mixer? Maybe about a hundred times to fifty people. But it came today so I'm newly excited. I can't stop looking at the box and reading all the fabulous features, including a "ultra-high quality fader". Not just high quality, but ultra-high quality.
In the process of opening the box, I also cut my finger. Very similar to the new year's cut, though on my middle finger, not my index, and not nearly as deep or bloody. Though it was still a little bloody. I have no sympathy for myself, since I apparantly now have a habit of recklessness with sharp objects and fingers. I never seem to have this problem when cooking and dicing items with my large butcher knife. Probably because I use proper technique and pay attention to my work, which is more than my typical style of engaging during other tasks.
My boss's birthday is today. She's recently diagnosed as diabetic, so no cake -- we're having fruit. I'm guessing with no candles stuck in them. Don't get me wrong -- I like fruit a lot. It just seems not very...celebratory. I feel there should have been more planning ahead, but then again we had cake just last Friday for Diff. Paced Coworker. Our last regional director, aka Mr. Mister would often get cakes for random special occasions -- so much so that it would almost be an insult if a cake wasn't gotten for other occasions. He was also annoying because he would always get HIS favorite cake (carrot) even if we were celebrating someone else's promotion.
Does anyone remember the Onion article last November about employees acting courteous and awkward at an unliked co-worker's farewell party? That was us. Literally.
Off to eat fruit.

It's your subject line - reminded me of a quote from Mallrats.
Jay says it to Silent Bob and then kisses him on the cheek.
It's something like, "Where do you get those wonderful toys?"
And Silent Bob's all decked out ala Batman, hence the quote mimic.

It looks like a stage is being erected...

"You're going to listen to something I said? Haven't I made it abundantly clear during the tenure of our friendship that I don't know shit?"
