So it's entirely my fault I haven't updated in almost half a year. I had reasons at first, then I just got lazy. So by now the only people who will see this update are the ones who still use their own LJs and check their friend feeds, but as I've always said, this journal is more for my benefit than for anyone else's. Today seemed particularly ( Read more... )

So we got our raises, and while none of them were very satisfactory, to cheer myself up I had to do SOMETHING to celebrate.

Today I didn't go to the office. I went to the National Retail Federation's Big Show in Manhattan instead. It was mostly a lot of IT stuff and a few great things we could use but can't afford.

Heh, I just went down to the massage therapist that works here on tuesdays to try to relax a bit before I really got into writing, but it turns out that my upper back was one giant knot (actually about fifty small ones), so instead I got to up my pain tolerance a couple notches ( Read more... )

I just got a company-wide email about "Spring Bunny Day!"
