Judging by last year's post and my experience over the last several days, it's a fake week for everybody else who's been whipping all their shit into my inbox just before their mad rush out of town. At least very little new has come through today and I'm just burning off that prior glut.

Luckily I am NOT at work today, because today are my 50th birthday. So, pluses and minuses, I guess.

Nothing's worse than employers at a "gig" job who say "Oh, leave early!!" as the supervisor says "and I'll adjust your timesheet." (ie take money away from you)

Nicely lighter traffic on the 5 a.m. commute = bonus!

My busiest day in last six months. Had to do Wednesday, Thusday and Friday all in one day.

Not so bad. Office was quiet for once, so I got a lot done.

Last night while I was trying to fall asleep I had the brilliant idea of using bamboo steamer stacks to transport deviled eggs in a small footprint.
