Aww, thank you!

I'm kind of torn about my B-day.

1) It's kind of nice to still be here on planet earth.

2) However, I am working, which sucks and has put me in a horrible mood.

I had plans for today. PLANS. As in: salon visit, bank visit, oil change visit...

Okay, okay, it was more like I had a list of errands to get done, but please note that they are now not done and I am at work where, as of Thursday, Dec. 3, I was pretty sure I wouldn't be. (Ummm, does that even make sense?)

On the upside, I'll get my cruelly-snatched-away day off on Friday. Maybe. Possibly. We'll see. Depends on who else gets sick/has a nervous breakdown/suffers from a head explosion at an inconvenient time.

As for me, I'll be over in the corner swallowing aspirin and downing coffee like a caffeine junky in need of a fix.

Enough of my whining, I'd like to thank [livejournal.com profile] llaras, [livejournal.com profile] lillian13, [livejournal.com profile] wesleysgirl, and [livejournal.com profile] entrenous88 for the virtual snowflake cookie. I totally, totally needed to see those today. *hugs all*

And thanks for the B-day wishes from everyone. As I haven't done any look-see at LJ today (except for the .10 seconds I'm now stealing from the company — please note the whole gets sick/has a nervous breakdown/suffers from a head explosion) I see some people have pinged me with B-day wishes. I'll try to respond, but this is a blanket thank you as well.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work. At 5:30 p.m.

Have I mentioned the serious need to whine right now?

Good thing I voted in the special election to replace Sen. Kennedy this morning. I voted for Mike Capuano, but I'd be more than okay if Alan Khazei won.

Just, please sweet Jesus, not Martha Coakley or Stephen G. Pagliuca, otherwise I'll have to hold my nose when I vote in January because the Republican candidates are just not even worth considering.

Thank you so much for the story!

I left FB. :-)

Happy birthday! I hope you get to make up for it soon.

Thanks! Just signed on for the first time in days and am now trying to play catch-up with my Flist.

Happy birthday! I'm all in favor of staying on Planet Earth as long as possible, but having to work on your bday sucks the goose's beak. Whining is eminently justified.

Have a great day anyway!

Thanks!

This is my first time on ElJay in days, so apologies for the late response.

oh heck! Happy B Day. May Spring and kayaking return shortly!

Happy birthday!!!

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I only just stopped running errands *checks watch* an hour ago.

I haven't even been on ElJay since I posted the above because I've been that busy.

[identity profile] tnrkitect.livejournal.com 2009-12-09 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Happy Birthday! (Meant to post earlier, but got busymafied at work. Stupid work)

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. Not to mention all the errands you have to do on all your days' off as a result of work business.

Thank you for the well-wishes.

Can I catch you after the holiday craze to do a birthday thing? Because a birthday thing, celebrating of you, would be awesome! <33333

And Happy Birthday right now! :D

Hey you!

We so totally should. This holiday season seems crazier than normal, probably because it actually hasn't been than long between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We should definitely get together in January sometime.

Hope you managed to finally get home on your Birthday! :(

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I did.

Unfortunately, I've spent the past 4 days running around and only just now have managed to get on ElJay. :-)

I just got on LJ after a few days of being gone so I am sending B-Day wishes RIGHT NOW.

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

I just got on ElJay after a few days of not being around myself.

I think postponing birthday celebrations is a good idea. I hope you managed to eke a bit of fun out of the day. If not, I hope it's on the immediate horizon. Don't let your work ethic trap you utterly. :)

From this corner of the world, I'm very glad you're still here on planet Earth and toss confetti in celebration. :)

Thanks for the well-wishes.

This is quite literally the first time I've been on ElJay in days due to busy-ness.

Thanks

Awww sweetie, whining isn't bad. You don't do it all the time. Also, Happy Birthday *gives you a virtual hug*

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! :-)

First time online for days, mostly because I've been so damn busy.

[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com 2009-12-09 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
*hangs head in shame*

I knew I forgot about something yesterday.

Happy Birthday.

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. :-)

I haven't even been on ElJay since my B-day, because I've been too busy, so it's still a nice surprise.

[identity profile] llaras.livejournal.com 2009-12-09 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs back*

And belated birthday wishes! I hope it got better!

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

I've actually been so busy running errands that I haven't had much time to think about it.

[identity profile] anelith.livejournal.com 2009-12-09 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
A belated happy birthday to you!

And sorry about the election results. We're both at least a bit disappointed.

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

And, yeah, I'm not too happy about Coakley, but I can hold my nose and vote for her over Brown.

Another belated Happy Birthday to you. And another belated sorry about the election. How was AG Coakley able to win by so much? 47% in a four-way race is a pretty significant trouncing.

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I don't get it, either.

The sad thing is, she's better than Brown, so I'll have to hold my nose when I vote for her.

Maybe she'll have competition when the seat is up for re-election.

Happy Belated Birthday! (have not been on LJ myself for a few days)

[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I just got on for the first time since Tuesday afternoon.

I'm at 875! Yikes. LJ has been busy while I've been away.
