Go ahead. Make my day... week... month... year

Have been way too whiny lately. Who wants to hear that crap?

Lots of good, positive things have happened lately too...

My boss gave me a plant for my office. She has a 'green thumb' and was transplanting plants and brought the wee ones into the office to distribute. But she didn't know what kind of plant it is that she gave me 'in particular.' We think some sort of cactus/aloe thing. So it's soft and good inside but with a wee bit of a prickly edge. (Reminds me of a few people I know...) I've bonded with it. And I haven't killed it yet, so that's a good sign.

My car takes premium gas. Which can be a real b*tch with gas prices these days. BUT my usual gas station is in the middle of a pump/gas upgrade so they are not serving silver and bronze. Only premium... but at bronze prices! I'm told it will be at least another five weeks before the full conversion/upgrade thing happens! The savings!

A co-worker said I looked really skinny yesterday in my outfit. Always a good sign.

But the best is... when I was getting ready to leave from work tonight. I was sifting through folders, powering down my laptop, etc. when the regular office cleaning dude poked his head around my door. (We always joke that I shouldn't be around at the office when the cleaning team comes.)

"Hi," he said. "You should be gone by now, no?"

I smiled and said: "Doing that right now."

And then the best thing ever!!! He put out his hand which revealed a Kindersurprise and said: "Ok, I was going to leave this for you on your desk. Happy Easter."

How freakin' sweet is that????

(If you must know the surprise inside was a lame ass key chain thing. I think it may be a camel or some sort of animal shape that resembles a camel. Is that possible? WTF resembles a camel? A distorted hippo?)

He made my day/week/month/2008. I can't thank him enough....
