I forgot to mention, there's nothing wrong with the car. In case anyone was worried. :)
Also, the snow was well gone by lunchtime, leaving behind big slushy wet puddles. Mmmm. For a city that gets so much freakin' rain, you'd think they would design the drainage better. But then, why complain about the puddles when we're apparently draining raw sewage right into the ocean? Yeah, we got bigger fish to fry.
I went out to lunch at a fancy-schmancy bistro today. We were having a going-away lunch for one of the Crowns who got hired at the same time I did. She's leaving for a downtown Vancouver firm, which I think will be a better fit for her. Sartorially, anyway. The bistro looked pretty, but the food was kind of meh and I swear our waitress was faking an accent. Nobody else agrees with me, though.
Then we had coffee and cake at 3 for another woman in our office who's retiring as of today. Apparently she made that decision last week when she was told that the only alternative was for her to switch jobs to doing something that she despises. Fun times.
On Friday, one of the senior Crowns is retiring - something she's been planning for more than a week - but I declined to buy the $25 ticket to her retirement party. I'm cheap that way.
So, yeah, they're dropping like flies around my office. More work for the rest of us, I guess. Ummmm...yay?
