Birthday post
Wed Jul 13, 2011 22:37 (UTC -7)Here it is, the requisite birthday blog post.
Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t a bummer to go to work on my birthday. Everybody has to do it at some point. And besides, I got a lot of work done, and nobody bothered me. That’s because I hardly told anyone it was my birthday. That helps.
I’m past the age where I want a lot of things for my birthday, but I have gotten some good gifts this year. My favorite was a carton of strawberries that Kate ordered for me from an online grocery delivery service. It was a delicious surprise, and I’m sure it will continue to be because I haven’t eaten them all yet.
What I’ve done for most of the last few birthdays is go out to dinner with my friends. So I figured I’d go out to dinner with the people I invited to my housewarming/Fourth of July party last week, but I didn’t know where we should go. A couple of them suggested this Japanese place called Wann, where they could get a Microsoft employee discount for a party of up to six.
As it turned out, there were fewer than six of us; four, to be exact. But I had a good time, and I think everyone else did too. We ended up splitting everything we ordered, so it was fun to try different things.
Well, that does it for now. Have to get ready for work tomorrow.
