Interesting things happened to me this week.
The day before yesterday, I revealed myself as a non-Christian to my boss. It happened like this:
BOSS: D'aw, you still have your bats up! You should take them down and put up Christmas things!

nagia: No thanks! I'll probably leave 'em up year round.
BOSS: But why?
nagia: *mumble mumble* ....but I like bats. Don't like Christmas
BOSS: You don't like Christmas? Why not?
nagia: It's a religious holiday.
BOSS: *matter-of-factly:* Yes, it's the day our Lord Jesus was born. What don't you like about that?
nagia: I'm not a Christian.
BOSS: ...oh. Well, bless your heart! That's all right, I still love you.
FIVE MINUTES PASS
BOSS: Yes, that bill was done by $NEXT_CUBE_OVER. $NEXT_CUBE_OVER, meet, uh, I forget her name, uh, *peeks atnagia's nameplate* uh, Katherine.
Needless to say, that experience is both hilarious and unsettling.
Then, yesterday morning, as I was on my way into the building, my heel caught on some of the really, REALLY smooth concrete (which was also wet, since, you know, it's winter in TN. We get rain like Michigan gets snow). Sent me flat on my ass, right in front of a couple of coworkers.
And today, I wound up absolutely freaking out toward the end of my lunch, because I made the mistake of lunching with $PREFERRED_NON_GEEKY_COWORKER at $NEARBY_CHINESE_RESTAURANT, and they are really very terrible with giving the check.
Naturally, I clocked back in with two minutes to spare. All that freakout for nothing.
