She gets me!
Sep. 13th, 2012 11:04 pmToday I woke up at 4:30, 2 hours before my alarm. There was an early meeting, at which I was designated note-taker. Then I had to transcribe my notes. I'm not even done yet. While I was busy hacking away at the morass of my handwriting, trying to figure out which dude was which, and all of the other things that this task entails, there was some sort of shindig.
I was too busy to feel okay about going, and my Overlady mentioned that it was hot out there. Further along in the day, my manager stopped by my cube with a packet. There had been some party swag, and she brought some back for me. (Aww.)
The swag was a little foam dart launcher, of cunning design: the handle is squishy and has a pocket for air, and squeezing the handle results in a launch. It is just the sort of projectile toy that is the most fun. I didn't think too much of it then (after shooting around the darts between typing), but I was happy.
Then more people started to filter back into IRC after the shindig, and one of my friends mentioned the yo-yo he got.
It was at this point that I realized that there was a choice of swag, and my manager had managed to get the exact thing I would love most.
She gets me.
