this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My boss has started the end-of-year crankiness, but that's still nothing compared to my old job, when my boss had so much vacation time that she didn't use throughout the year that she took all of November and December off, which fucked our production schedule horribly. (We were SO glad to have her out of the office, because she was from hell, but when you only have 4 editors and 1 takes 2 months off, there's no way to keep up the work.)

I have occasionally wished I worked in a more dynamic office than a tech support call center, but hearing these stories makes me very happy that I have predictable work and processes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Got into a minor fender-bender today. No injuries.
There's no need for me to talk to the other driver's insurance company, is there? (They called and left a message, telling me to call them.) I was under the impression that I only should talk to mine, and they figure out things between themselves.

I found the census data jackpot!!
Also I chatted nicely with my mother at lunch and THEN she texts me from the ER where my stepfather is apparently having a TIA. After she said to me on the phone at lunch, "I think he's probably going to just drop dead one day." NOT TODAY PLEASE UNIVERSE!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As I said about my father (false alarm), If he dies this month, I'll kill him!
My 2:30 ortho appointment that I thought would be a whole song and dance was just a quick check in! So I did a little shopping and now am watching TV, since I already took half a sick day. Here's hoping relaxing now makes it easier to work on Sunday.

Tommy, you don't have to involve your insurance but can if you want to. If the other guy admitted fault and his insurance is going to handle it, you may not need yours. If it's your fault or disputed then yeah, go through yours.

Our wings are not tired.
There's no need for me to talk to the other driver's insurance company, is there?
When I just went through this with Bobby I was told by our insurance company that we could talk to the other guy's insurance company if we wanted to give them our version, but it wasn't required.

Our holiday party is tonight. I registered for it, thinking that maybe Future Me would be up for it even though Past Me hasn't been a fan. Fast forward to Present Me, who is feeling super grumpy and has a giant To Do list because she's leaving the country for two weeks.
I'm ditching the party in favor my To Do list, because I'm desperately trying to get as much Christmas shopping done as I can before I leave. I don't have anything for my nieces yet and Gymboree is having a big sale.
If I can get that done, I will go home to drink all the wine and eat mousse cake.
