I've been asked to join the hero squad

Hi all. Almost everyone is out of the office at a going-away lunch for a staff member that I don't really like, and so I am here alone, sipping my lunch of miso and tea. I opted out of lunch because 1) I am sick and don't want Indian food and 2) I didn't want to pay $20 to honor someone I don't really know or like that much. I think the whole business of constantly taking up collections/expecting people to spend money on peoples' birthdays/going away presents/etc is lame. Maybe I would feel more of a rapport if I had worked here longer, but I guess I just don't care that much. Also, I don't think it's fair to expect me to contribute $15 to buy someone dvds and a set of pajamas. It's kind of uncomfortable to say no, but I did and don't really feel bad about that.

Tonight, I am going to dinner with my friend Clare, which will be fun. Once in a blue moon, I am in the mood for tex-mex, and I think we may go get enchiladas and margaritas. I also realized that I get to sit next to her at graduation, and I'm glad that I'm not stuck between two people I don't know! Hopefully I will not miss Inferno II tonight since MTV never ever repeat shows it ...

I also can't believe I'm going to turn 22 tomorrow! I'm going to a dinner planned by my birthday twin, May, who was in Paris with me last year. I don't know how many people I will know there, but it will be fun, because I didn't have anything planned on my own. I'm kind of a low key birthday person anyway, and I'll probably just celebrate and go out to dinner with Mark, Lynh, and Julia this weekend.

Ok, enough of this non-productiveness... I'm off to work again!
