Happy birthday to me...

[robotech_master]

Well, there's no more heck in me right now, because I had it surprised out of me today. My cow-orkers threw me a little birthday pot-luck lunch, it being my birthday today (the 9th). I've never had something like that ever happen to me before. It's quite a lift to know that your cow-orkers care enough about you to throw a micro-bash like that...especially since I don't think I've ever seen them do that for anyone else.

Got the car off my hands today. The junkyard wouldn't give me anything for it, so my brother removed the nearly-new battery before he called them to haul it away; it'll make a good spare for the subsequent car.

How do I feel about my birthday? I'm not sure. It's largely just another day...I don't tend to get many presents. In a way, it's just a memory game...a day you can tell people to remember because it's special to you, and it makes you feel good that they care enough about you to remember to tell you they remembered that particular day. Of course, anymore it's not so hard to remember thanks to PDAs and organizers that signal a warning in advance of the day...but I guess it makes me feel good anyway.

Bedtime.
