Glare report 10/19/04

Not much to report, as I only did a little research reading yesterday, just enough to determine that there weren't many more chapters of Fire and Ice that are going to be of use to me. I skimmed the chapter on Winter Carnival parades and glanced at a couple other on Carnival events and memorabilia. I don't need to know that the drum majorette competition was once one of the most cut-throat aspects of the carnival. I have no plans to make Solveig a drum majorette. I am sure you are all relieved.

(no subject)

Oh, what a very bad day we are having here at the office. It's not my bad day, you understand (although I do have a headache). But the bad day that about three of my coworkers are having is making me cringe in sympathy.

Well, that was a surprise

My law firm has been noticing that morale has been sagging a bit around here lately, so the powers that be decided to institute a new thing where they serve lunch every quarter to the support staff (about thirty-five or so of us in all) and give an employee of the quarter award. The prize is a trophy to be displayed on the desk for the quarter and a cash bonus.

We had our first luncheon today, and the recipient of the quarterly award was um, me. I was surprised; my bet was on one of the legal assistants.

The other secretaries are teasing me mercilessly, so there's no danger I'll get a swelled head or anything.
