apparently since a majority of us were out on vacation for the last 12 days, we have to try and get 12 days worth of work done before lunch. blech.

in other news having happy holiday gifts sitting on your desk when you arrive is totally, totally rad. i got Charlie and the Chocolate Factory from a very kind benefactor who shall remain nameless AND AND AND ol’ Seamus got me the orange vase i have been bugging him endlessly about for the past four months.

see, Seamus was on the hunt for some bar stools for his swinging bachelor pad and every time he went to some store he’d ask me if i needed anything and my standard reply was ‘an orange vase.’

so to see that orange vase when i got to work today, i nearly peed in my pants. he’s so rad.

in other news, i still haven’t gotten the red robot keychain my heart desires like nothing else. so i will sit here for the rest of the day crying copious amounts of self-piteous tears until my heart heals. or i’ll just get back to working, because i’ve only made up for 5 of the 12 days thus far.
