I now have a working printer! I really feel like a computer grown-up, with the wireless and printer and all. Not a wireless printer; that's going a little too far. But still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

my department is SO lame. less than half of the respondants thus far will participate in the gift exchange. Which means, they will come for free food and stand around, but don't want to participate in anything. Last year people wouldn't even sit down and visit with one another, they literally stood around waiting for food and hovered over food tables, not even making plates to take and eat at a table.

Your department is full of people like me! Though often, I forgo even showing up...

I am relieved that our department cancelled the holiday party this year 'cause of budget stuff.

our holiday party didn't happen last year because asshole!boss couldn't make a decision, and by the time he committed to the money, we'd lost our spot. I doubt that we're having one this year.

well, I'd rather not have a party at all, but since that is not an option - if I have to go, I at least want to have a decent time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yes, this. In my new office (can I still call it new when I've been here over a year?) we have a big department lunch with gift exchange which is usually fairly enjoyable. There is also a huge office thing that they do right after the first of the year (I guess to save money?), but I skipped that last year and don't intend on going this time around.
