appreciation

 today was a day in the office. it was mr smear's last day of not-school before the passover holidays, so he's now off for a week. an ex-coworker came to return her computer and brought us a huge bag of lego that her kids don't want any more. another co-worker got very emotional because she's the last man standing in her team while she's struggling with the "usual" immigrant blues.

the work itself today was a mixed bag. one thing that was really nice was receiving a voucher for a show as a token of appreciation for the burned hours during the recent crisis :)

i went to bed early after putting mr smear to bed late, but woke up an hour or two ago with bad indigestion. so i've been doing the pokémon online training, of course. i'm a little sad that they're stopping development on the online game, because i'm planning on picking up a starter kit for mr smear at some stage and one of the cooler features is being able to use codes from the physical cards to import them into your digital collection...
