i feel good now.

today is someone's birthday here in the office, and my co-workers are decorating her cubicle (next to mine). as they hang the crêpe paper, one of them calls out to me "when's your birthday?"

"november," says i.

"oh, we missed it. are you twenty-one yet?"

bless you, marcia.

"i'm twenty-six."

"what?!?"

hooray! something to start the day out nicely.
