murakoziA quick summary of notable stuff from the past 24 hours:
I thought I'd avoided the assorted plagues going through the office. Silly me. Had a meeting where the other person was hacking coughing sneezing and otherwise spewing disease. I wanted to spend the whole meeting with my hands covering my face, wishing I had a biohazard suit. Also the AA brought in her sick kid, since he couldn't go to daycare. Heck, daycare centers are pretty much Child Disease Distribution Centers already. They shoulda let him stay there. But no, can't risk him spreading it there, even if that's where he probably got the disease du jour. So he's brought into the office, where he can infect us. Whee. Right now it's mostly congestion and headacheyness and fatigue along with a mild general icky feeling.
What do you do when someone gives you a gift unexpectedly. A really really nice gift? For many reasons, I really don't 'do' Christmas or most other holidays anymore. It's a long story of stress and burnout and years of retail work. My family pretty much knows this, even though they're not really thrilled about it. Usually, one or more of 'em will donate some money to Heifer International in my name as a sort of workaround. So I was kind of surprised when my father gave me something last week. It was sitting there at home, wrapped until yesterday. I was told my sisters had been given the same thing and had opened theirs. Figuring that I'd avoid one of 'em slipping up and mentioning it and spoiling the surprise, I went ahead and opened it. (ruining a perfectly good cat perch in Katie's opinion). It was one of these Holy crud. Nifty and something I've thought would be nice to have, but definitely not something I ever expected to own.
Had some fun playing World of Warcraft last night. Made little progress character-wise, but did have some enjoyable experiences. I might write more on that later.
