I woke up, talked with Ben for like an hour about our 2K5 world domination plans, then went to work.
I walked in (late) and one of my coworkers had apparently cut off her thumb (or most of it?) with a bagel slicer. She was being herded out by two coworkers to the ER, with a bloody towel wrapped around her thumb!
I didn't even know we HAD a bagel slicer, and now I probably won't get to use it.
Then my Vice President sends me a Christmas e-Card, one that is pretty complex with a lot of photorealistic flash effects, different interactive parts, music and sound... and asks if I can "make something like this, but different, and using pictures of our buildings. Also, make the text different"... TODAY.

A: I didn't even know we HAD a bagel slicer, and now I probably won't get to use it.
