Orange you sweet!
Okay, so this "real" job I work at that I don't like to talk about much... well, something really nice happened there tonight.
Some other members of my crew threw a little surprise birthday party for me, and gave me a box FULL of knick-knacks and gag gifts, the unifying theme of which was that they were all ORANGE.
Y'know, OINJ, my favourite colour!!!
I got a sparkly orange pencil for my ear, a duck call on an orange lanyard, some orange candles & incense, a toy Tide-sponsored Nascar car, a really cool retro orange plastic wall clock (circa 1970-something), orange cookies and mints, and lots of other cool things.
It was a really humbling experience. I try so hard to keep that part of my life there, not here, to almost pretend it isn't real there. I forget what great people I work with, and how much I like them and, judging from their thoughtfulness tonight, they like me. I have never done anything like that for any of their birthdays.
I'll have to change that.
Here's to my very real and sweet colleagues. Thank you very much!
