Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Handel and Haydn

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nobody's exulting with me. I'm three days ahead of deadline. Which means three days to wonder what I've gotten wrong.

I just got an email (uh, printed out, just because) to tell me that I'm going to get an engraved champagne flute (in addition to the plain one I toasted with this morning) to commemorate the sale. I'd rather an extra day of massages and fewer games, but whatever.

Because books.

::exults with ita::

Man, I could go for a massage.

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

I was gonna! Then I got distracted by a Javascript DOM issue. Which I figured out.

That's more useful than the gifts I've received. One was a sorta' hourglass, except all the sand falls though at once (it falls though a filter thing that spells out our client's name) and another is a clear plastic or Pyrex thingie that has a sample of crude oil embedded in it.

I will exult! Even in my dungarees and grody sweatshirt. Because I have no place fancy to go.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. I once got a nice clock set in excitingly chunky lucite during a company buyout. I tried to explain to them that I was a temp and was totally uninvested in the transition and did not need bribing. But they were in their "no, we value all employees phase" so I got it anyway. I shrugged and finished the week`s pile of data entry I was hired for and then left. It was a pretty clock.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So you're the SUB?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I hate all corporate gifts. I do not want things with company logos on them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am exulting with you! I am currently the anti-you because I am 3 days behind, so that may be damping my exultation, but nevertheless, I am exulting.

Nuh-uh. The Javascript is my bitch.

eta: Also, the DOM was a red-herring. The stored proc was returning incorrect XML.
