podling | Many thanks and stuff!!!

To everyone who wished me b-day happiness both on and off lj, thanks and stuff!!!

All in all, the day went okay, but it was busy here yesterday, and it'll be busy here today, and I was away for the weekend before that, so I won't be here much. Sorry! (and no,

tanaise, I'm not forsaking you)

Anyway, brief rundown of yesterday... we were involved in a little bus accident in the morning. Low speed, when 2 busses collide. No injuries. Took the subway to get here in a timely fashion. Realized how behind on work I am, and that sucked. Was mildly rude or at the very least patronizing to the purchasing people, which amused me somewhat. (sample from conversation... "Now, I'm not saying I have no faith in you, but I have no faith in you. I'll believe it when it's done.") They almost caught me doing something not entirely correct, but it seems to have escaped their notice, which is good. I had a minor showdown with a chef about the fact that chopped up onions are still onions and so telling me there are no onions in something when, in fact, there are many chopped up little ones is essentially lying.

I was serenaded with the b-day song twice, once in the kitchen by the guys there, then again in the cafeteria, and given cake and card. The cake was good. The card was cute. It was a happy experience.

And then in the evening me,

astrophyiscat, and Eric went out for dinner after Cara gave me my spiffy new book, "Lamb", which I'll probably talk more about after reading. Incidentally, "American Psycho" has gone from being vaguely disturbing to me to pretty icky in parts. I just keep going "EWWW!!!" while reading it. Ew.
