( Song stuck in my head )

The office holiday lunch was on Friday. Food from Claim Jumper, which I had to go pick up as they don't deliver (one person came along to help me, thankfully). There was a hiccup with the credit card--it was frozen due to fraudulent charges, and no one bothered to tell me as they assumed the card had been run immediately after I placed the order the previous week. Anyway, it was declined, and I called the administrator, and she gave me a different card number to work. Also, someone at CJ had misread the order and tried to give us spinach salad instead of spinach artichoke dip. The salad probably would have been better-that dip looked like parrot poop. Specifically, it looked like poop from about twenty cockatiel hens that had spent all day sitting on eggs.

The rest of the food was good, at least everything I sampled. I didn't eat any of that citrus salad because bleu cheese. I also didn't have a cupcake because by the time I got around to it, I wasn't hungry.

The secret Santa thing went well. Not everyone brought gifts to exchange, for various reasons, so one of the managers bought some extra gifts to make up for it. At first I ended up with a Christmas mug and sugar bowl set, but I traded with someone else for Skullcandy earbuds and mp3 player speakers, which are going to my little brother for Christmas and his birthday.

I also got a $200 bonus check, which totally made up for the various annoyances and extra work and the hauling-around-printers thing I had to deal with that day.

Soon, I will need a new plaid skirt because this one doesn't fit as well as it once did... it's getting on the loose side. :O Also, the footless tights (I know, I know, they ARE silly) I am wearing are size medium, as opposed to size lardolarge.

This has been a pretty dang relaxing morning. I've just been sitting out in the living room alone, listening to my ipod, and doing laundry. Mmm.

Ich heisse Superfantastisch!
Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch!

I have these legwarmers that I bought at Torrid last week and they're really cute. They are rainbow striped. That, I think, makes most people think "gay/lesbian." Each stripe is separated by a black stripe, so it's not technically the gay pride rainbow, but a lot of people would just see the colors and think gay.

Anyway, I'm not a lesbian, so is it misleading or offensive for me to wear rainbow colors?

I guess some people would think so, but I do have the right to like rainbows sans social connotations.

Also it's not like I can easily find leg warmers or arm warmers etc. in the colors I'd like even more.

Hmm. Any knitters reading this?

Heaven help you if you want to wear a skirt in this meat locker of an office.

Anyway, might as well update my booklist.

1. Witches' Brew by Terry Brooks
2. Resident Evil: Genesis by Keith R.A. DeCandido
3. Resident Evil: Apocalypse by Keith R.A. DeCandido
4. Resident Evil: Extinction by Keith R.A. DeCandido
5. Resident Evil: Zero Hour by S.D. Perry
6. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy by S.D. Perry

Into the second quarter of the year and I've only read six novels, pff. I think, after I finish the RE series, I'll read The Zombie Survival Guide (straight through, that is; I've probably read most of it as I flipped through random segments in random order) and World War Z, just to make it a zombie-rific year in reading.

Any recommendations for zombie novels will be appreciated. Otherwise, after those, I'll probably pick up the Halo books.
