“Think of a bee.
You are its knees.
You waft through me like a summer’s...”

(warning: this is a feelings-y post)
I had my performance review this morning, and my manager said some really wonderful things about me (that I was a pleasure to work with, that she appreciated how I was always smiling and always willing to do anything). She also said that I was a bit reserved and it was difficult to tell whether I was happy or not. She ended it by saying, ” I really think...

incredibly accurate candy review
We have a bowl of Hersey’s kisses at my desk and people had been eating them throughout the day. A guest picks a few out and starts to eat them. “Oh this one’s white chocolate,” he says in this super charming British accent. “That’s basically like sweet wax, isn’t it?”
Hahahahaha. Ew.

maybe one of the best weekends of the year
I just feel like I’m in a really good place. Spiritually, ecumenically, grammatically*. You know.
*secretly I want to say “Socially, geographically, romantically.” But I wouldn’t dare.

most hilarious priest ever
The wedding I went to yesterday was at an Anglican church, and beforehand we were talking about different denominations of Christianity. I knew that Anglicans had female priests, and I was like, “Aren’t they also a pretty gay friendly church?” and Will was like, “I think you’re thinking about the United church.”
A few minutes later we were hanging our coats up...

the light at the end of the tunnel
After a bad, stressful week and a long, exhausting day, I have decided I am taking tomorrow off of work. I’m going to do Christmas shopping and write the rest of my Christmas cards and bake for the potluck tomorrow night and do my laundry and paint my nails. I know I will feel a billion times better with all that stuff done and it’s silly to try and force myself to do it all on the one...

burnt out. zapped. zonked. pooped.
Man, this week. I cannot get a good sleep and work is just completely draining every reserve of energy and enthusiasm I have right now. I get home and I just want to go to bed.
Ahhhhh sorry to whine! I just need to be sad about this for a while so I can be happy later this week when good stuff is happening.

I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

HOLD UP I NEED TO MAKE A SMALL SIDE RANT.
You know what sucks about the holiday season? How there is food everywhere in the office. And NOT because it’s tempting, but because it means that eight billion times a day, I have to hear ANNOYING REPEATIVE THINGS about food. “Cookies? Oh no, my diet!” “Cake? No, I won’t have...
