Personal Fun Fact:
I have recently realized that I have a thing for guys with shaved heads. Well, guys with shaved heads that don't have funny shaped heads that is. So...yeah. There you go. (But don't worry Hun-Gee, I still have a thing for you...you with ALL your hair.)

TOP SECRET BLOG DAY Part 2
Okay, this was supposed to be a really fun and exciting blog about myday morning 2 hours at my mom's work. It was a lot of fun, it really was...after I got away from mom's office, that is. Mom works for an animation company--they're animating a big-time movie of the Finding Nemo sorts, but of course you didn't hear that from me. ;)
Ms. Snuffalupagus came in and stole me from mom's desk after about an hour of me just sitting there, watching her read her email. Ms. S took me around for a tour, after quickly stopping by her work team to tell them she was "going to the bathroom." I want a job like that--1/2 hour bathroom breaks at spontaneous moments of the morning. So she took me upstairs and showed me the animating floor, the gaffers, the renderers, the texturizers, the...you know all the names that you usually ignore at the end of the movie credits? Well, I MET those people! It was so cool.
Everyone seemed to have 2 or more monitors at their workstation (not to mention the novelty-sized GIMONGOUS bottles of alcohol) and tons of toys and models and stuff littering the rest of the area. Funny enough, as hard as they were working, everyone we stopped by to say 'hi' to somehow managed to find time to chat and tell me about what they did there. It was so cool. Everyone also stopped Ms. S after our initial introduction to ask me if I was 'new here' and I think I disappointed more than half of them when I told them I wasn't. Poor guys... :)
Anyway, just as I was finished my tour, I was walking down the stairs when I passed some asian dude staring intently at me. At first I was just going to punk him off, look the other way, and keep walking, when something struck me about him. It wasn't the fact that he was strikingly good looking, or the fact that he was well dressed, or the fact that he walked with an air of confidence about him...there was something else...when he called my name it finally hit me...
"Q!!!"
Yay! It was Q!!! Where before he'd shave his head and kept a goatee, now he shaved his goatee and grew some hair. Good looking, let me tell you, ladies! I was so glad to have run into him that day. Mom had emailed him to come over to her office for a visit, but he hadn't responded in the time that I was there and so we thought maybe he wasn't coming in to work that day, but he did and I SAW him!!! Unfortunately, it was just as I was about to leave, so though I stood there for a bit and chatted with him, it was all too short. I promised to go visit (and I still will, Q) as soon as the school schedule let up a bit. I can't wait.
After that, I headed off to my own work. A day cut WAY too short. But at least now I can tell people what my mom does at work--a whole lotta NOTHING!!! They're all social butterflies there, I tell you...that's why I'm trying to get a job there!!!

And A New One It Is!
Happy New Year everyone! What did YOU do to ring it in? I don't know about you, but I was at work. I was at work with Dawson trying to figure out where $215 went during the course of the night. I was also very hungry and tired, but antsy to leave. I felt a little guilty about tearing out of there shortly after we'd closed the reports and all, but I was late as it was, I had a friend waiting, my shift was officially over, and there wasn't really anything left to do. And if Dawson really needed me to stay, friendship aside, he could've said so. It would've been only the second time this week that I'd have had to keep someone waiting in order for Dawson and I to get things in order. *sigh* The end of February is still too far away...
After tearing out of there, Squig and I left to meet Boo and her boo, and from there, we headed to Boo's boo's boos's to booze and schmooze a bit. It was just the right amount of personal/impersonalness that I needed to start the year. Not exactly an out and out house party, but not exactly staying at home (or work) to quietly countdown--though I had really missed the countdown altogether.
Missing the countdown sucks, let me tell you. At work, I didn't even have an accurate second-hand to countdown by! The best I had was Squig's cellphone clock which was digital and didn't provide us with any seconds by which to correctly announce the coming of the New Year. *sigh* Dawson didn't even seem to care. I mean, I know it's important for our numbers and amounts to match up at the end of the night, but had he shown just a LITTLE more interest in the fact that I was trying to be enthusiastic about the occasion that I'd sacrificed by being at work, I would've been slightly more willing to stay the extra time to help balance all the reports. (Can anyone tell that I wasn't thrilled about how my Midnight moments were spent?)
Missing your Midnight kiss also sucks too. I air-pecked Squig at what we assumed to be Midnight, but that was nothing. Hun-Gee being in Montreal and all left me with little choice here at home. :( But he's promised to kiss me as soon as he gets back...as soon as he gets back and counts down from 10, that is. Just to make it seem a little more authentic.
I feel like I've missed the holiday season altogether this year. As Boo pointed out, there weren't as many warm fuzzy feelings at the thought of Christmas this year. There was no snow. There weren't enough decorations. There wasn't enough time to shop. There wasn't the usual excitement and anticipation of gift exchanges. There weren't any huge party plans for the New Year. There wasn't an official countdown. There wasn't a Midnight kiss. There was no crazy party amidst a crowd of loud people. Where did this holiday season go? Come back Holiday Season, I missed you!
