I'd really be fucked if I didn't have opposable thumbs.
Sitting on the toilet yesterday whilst completeing my business, I did what I usually do - I found something to play with (not attached to my body). Sometimes it's my wallet, other times it's my tube of Carmex, depending on what I have on me. Yesterday it was my newly gifted Swiss Army knife, courtesy of Marie's brother. I had examined it before, but not all of the tools. So, I'm goofing around with the scissors, bottle opener and tweezers. I decide it would be wise to extend all of the tools, into some sort of superweapon. As I extended the knife blade, my opposable thumb got in the way, yielding an inch long cut on the side of my thumb. I applied toilet paper until the bleeding mostly stopped and tried to finish my business and pull up my pants. Have you ever tried to do either without use of a thumb? It's more difficult than I envisioned. I need safer toys to play with.
My announcement went out today and I've been *floored* by all of the nice comments. One manager who I've really only talked to during the hiring process came over and told me he was taking me to lunch, saying that if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be here. I hope that in my new job I'll be more proactive in telling people that they do a good job instead of just when they leave. Little compliments like that go a long way.
I've spent a good part of my day affixing labels to envelopes and signing my name 89 times. Man, I'm going to miss it here.
Tonight should be rocking. Home for dinner, to my parents to drop off the Christmas tree/decorations, over to Terry's for cribbage and a potential trip to Exclusive Company.
Also, I'll have pictures of the before and after of the Beard posted by week's end. Try to not make a mess in your pants in the meantime.
p.s. - it might be coming back sooner than I first thought...
