So yesterday was one of the dullest days I've ever spent at work.

Between it being Good Friday and, at sunset, Passover, meant that after 2p pretty much everyone was gone, and after 4p literally everyone was gone. Everyone except for meeeee, that is, because even if everyone but everyone was gone, the phones still had to be answered, so I did that.

I was so bored that I sent a really long e-mail (which I never do! If it can't be said in three sentences, I don't say it!) to Melody and Amanda detailing all of the stuff that's been going on with me lately that I have really been unable to write about in here, except for when I had to or my head would explode.

Anyway, if you want me to send it to you, too, let me know!

On the van on the way home, we passed a Catholic church that was re-enacting the Passion outside, and they had an enormous wooden cross in front of the stairs, and 75% of the people in the van (me included) automatically crossed themselves.

Weehawken is a mighty Catholic town!

When I got home I had two big parcels from The Pottery Barn!

Man, do I love getting packages in the mail! I got a duvet cover, white with blue tulips (I've had this duvet for two or three years and never had a cover for it, and you can only wash these things like once in the life of the duvet, so it's just been getting kinda grimy, but I wanted to get the perfect cover) and matching pillow shams (which are too small--I could have sworn I have standard pillows!), four galvanized steel boxes to put cds in, two glass bathroom canisters (one for cotton balls, one for all those $15 soaps I can't resist), and a shower caddy.

I am wildly in love with this shower caddy. It sounds silly, I know, but the old one I had was badly balanced, and would constantly slide down the shower-head, shampoo bottles flying everywhere, so I had to duct-tape it to the wall. And it was white and the white was peeling off.

This new one has a lower centre of gravity and doesn't move an inch, it's galvanized steel and won't rust, and holds about twice as much stuff!

I don't think I've ever been as silly as I am now, enthusing so much over a piece of metal that holds my shower gel and stuff, but it really is great!

My mind is blown at the prospect of actual, real peace in Northern Ireland, in a way that the cease-fire last year did not affect me. I am praying hard that the hard-headed fucks on both extreme sides don't blow this.

Happy birthday yesterday, Penny!

Lucky for her, because I would have strangled her, and then quit.
