Ridiculously nice birthday!

[caitri]

So this morning I got to work and was doing the usual, and then into my office comes some coworkers, and lo, there were chocolate brownies and people singing, and I don't know when the last time I got happy birthday sung, and did I mention the brownies?? (Cos they were awesome.)

And yes we are in Texas but for gods' sakes I am paid to write about science fiction and teach Buffy and play literary detective for people, and, well, need I say more?

And I got home and as Scott had got back from Sweden last night and was mostly de-jet-lagged we went and had sushi, and it was good.

And we got home and lo, there was a box on the doorstep, and Cupcake II (the erstwhile sucessor to Cupcake, who is sadly lost to gallivanting in Gottland) did arrive, and Oakley and Mr. Bear were most joyous.

And I am 27 and happy. =)

Happy birthday!!

Zach says I can only sign his name to this comment if it's a good comment.. haha...

Anyway. That's awesome that Scott might be able to get a permanent job! The thought of moving again, even if it's 2 years away, annoys the living daylights out of me.

Scott requested that I keep that bit on the downlow. I guess if you guys could do the same...though in retrospect my boss asked me about this in a meeting so I hope it's not in the meeting minutes...

I understand, and won't repeat it unless someone ELSE brings it up. :D

A while ago, I asked Zach about the possibilities of him extending his Post-Doc for even a year if he didn't finish up his research projects, and he said that that would probably not happen, and if it did, it'd be very, very rare. Not to mention the 3 or 4 sheets of paper he had to sign saying "I understand this does not increase my chances of getting a tenure-track position"... *cough* So, I understand the secrecy :D It's still a very good sign that they are willing to do that for Scott, and also for you, they must like the way you think :D I've already begun to dread the move.

Wow! That sounds like an utterly fantastic birthday all around! Also, happy 27; I hope this year is everything you hope (and it sounds like you're off to a good start!).

And Texas can be livable, if you have the best job ever (which, yeah, it sure sounds like). Besides, I've never been to Texas, and visiting would be a great excuse :)
