" Do you want extra glitter with your chili? "

Do you know what I wish for on my birthday? I'll tell you.
Lunch.
Being a former fatty (and having slimmed down to simply being a husky guy), I tend to get
hungry at lunch. Really hungry. On this day, I went out, grabbed some lunch "to-go",
and was planning on eating it back at my desk.
When I got back to work, I found a few balloons in my office cube. No biggie. It's nice to
know that some people pay attention. Upon further inspection, I found glitter sprinkled
EVERYWHERE.
Grrr.
I had to clean up all that stupid glitter before I could eat. (Delaying a fat man food for 10
minutes is not a wise move.) Then, as I'm finishing, my phone rings. I answer it and
immediately her laughter. To my surprise, I looked down at my phone holster/console-thing and
(yep, you guessed it), found glitter everywhere. So, I've been picking glitter out of my ear
all afternoon.
So, finally I get to eat my food, with glitter in my ear, on my hands, and eventually in my
chili. Some birthday.
If I could make a birthday wish today, I would wish death to 3 people:
- The person who invented glitter
- The person responsible for showering my space full of glitter
- George Steinbrenner
Happy birthday to me.
