| | good | ] | As birthdays where I had to work go, it's been a pretty good one. I was running a little late this morning, which sucks since Wednesdays are team meeting first thing in the AM. I got there to see a bunch of pastries on the conference table, in honor of my b'day. Coolness.
Today is also the fifth anniversary of my taking over the running of the network at the office. It's interesting to look back at how things have changed, and how now I actually HAVE a department to have weekly team meetings with. It still takes some getting used to, once in a while, but I like it.
The rest of the day consisted of fairly ordinary work issues, a comics run, Buffalo wings, and cake. The last bit was rather cool. I had to go over to our administrative offices to set up a computer for a new hire. One of our staff over there has the same birthday, and at her insistence, their cake fest included me. Since I used to work quite closely with a lot of the folks over there (I don't anymore), it was nice to take a breath and visit for a bit.
Tonight was TACOS. And more cake. I'm bloated. I also have the three Indy Jones films on DVD now, and the 40 Years of X-Men DVD.
Good day. |

Happy birthday. (Pretty much any day where people feed me cake, I consider that a good day. By this reckoning you appear to have done well.)
Perhaps a tad too well. But I'll persevere, somehow.
Ah good! So you had some fun, some work, and got to eat something birthday-specially! Tell me about the 40 Years of X-men dvd...sounds like something I would want...
It's a DVD collecting every issue of Uncanny X-Men from 1963 to 2005 in PDF format. Marvel released a series of these collections (Fantastic Four, Avengers, Captain America, Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man) over the course of the past few years. The product is being discontinued, but they're not hard to track down right now. | |
