Big fat *bear hug* to crankygrrl.

'Cause.

Also, big fat bear kisses.

from all over:

You are Phlegmatic. You have a peace-loving
nature, and make a good listener and a faithful
friend. You do have a tendency to be selfish
and stubborn in your worst moments, and your
worrying can lean towards paranoia. Phlegmatics
should consider careers as accountants,
diplomats, engineers, and administrators. You
are a somewhat reluctant leader, but your
practicality and steady nerve under pressure
makes you a natural choice for leadership
roles.

Continuing to chip away at the Christmas list. Hurray for online shopping! Now all I have to deal with is the existential doubt of Christmas shopping:

- This is so perfect for X, will someone else think of it first?
- Maybe Y already owns this.
- This is on Z's Christmas list and it's easy, so probably someone else will get it.
- Do the 2 smallish things I'm giving A balance out the one largish thing I'm giving B?
- This is OK for C, but it's not brilliant. My gifts must all be brilliant!

All wrong, wrong, wrong and not remotely in the Christmas spirit. But I can't seem to help it. For the first 3, I guess I should just keep chanting "They can exchange it" when in doubt. For the fourth, I've noticed that in gift-giving, I like to have a sort of centrepiece gift, otherwise it feels all wrong and unbalanced and I keep adding more! more! tinygifts! and it just never works out.

For the fifth, I probably need to take a nice hot bath, drink a couple of Rusty Nails and just relax already.

I got 3 little projects today, which have to be finished before Christmas. That's 2 weeks. Ack. Meanwhile I only have 1 other project on the go -- large but under control, which means I don't have a lot to do, which means (in the paradoxical world of wondrous idiocy that is my life) that I screw around all day, feel guilty, and stay late at the office. Must. stop.

Have yet to make a start on my Christmas cards, other than buying them and making a list of recipients. (I guess that is a start.) So if you want a Christmas card (actually a nice nondenominational seasonal card, with snowy scenes), it's not too late to let me know!

I had something brilliant to say, but it's gone now.

I'm all jealous of other people's nice icons. I think I need some more.

Hm. Another reason to wish I'd studied more anthropology.
