That feeling when someone tells you to reduce the size of the header because it “takes up a lot of real estate on the page.” (This morning, that feeling is rage. Maybe because I forgot to take my meds yesterday.)

Party Animals
Today was our department holiday lunch, and I’d say it was one of the more memorable ones we’ve had.
Our boss gave us all gift boxes from Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor MI, including cherry jam, cherry salsa, chocolate-covered cherries, and gummy cherries. We gave her some hard cider, a handmade U of M zipper pouch, and gift cards to a couple downtown restaurants and Amazon.
For lunch, we convened at a local gastropub / arcade. Our boss bought us all lunch — including adult beverages if we were so inclined, since we weren’t going back to the office — then we played video games and pinball for over an hour. Honestly, if the arcade games hadn’t been free-play, I would have felt ripped off, since there wasn’t anything terribly awesome. I played Street Fighter II, Galaga, Pac-Man, a racing game I’d never played before, Burgertime, pinball (which did cost money)… and that’s about it. It’s a modest barcade, but it’s more cabinets than lots of people have probably ever seen — since the mid-90s, anyway.
That was a seriously fun time with coworkers. A+ would do again.

Eleven years in the making. I am seriously damn proud of myself.

Augh! My work finally blocked my blog, under the category of Personal Blogs and Websites. I knew the day would come.

In addition to documenting these delicious reasons my boss is awesome, I also enjoy capturing these stealth upside-down reflection portraits of my co-workers. Hi, N! Hey, S!
