Coworker X: "How was your vacation? Have a nice time?"
etcet: "Frankly, it sucks to be here. I spent last week with several dozen friends I almost never get to see, hanging out, relaxing, drinking, and listening to music. Now, I'm sitting in a fucking cubicle."
I took exactly two pictures - of the towel animals our room steward left - so there's none of that visual tomfoolery coming from this quarter. Others took plenty. Quotes are beginning to appear elsewhere as well.
Highlights for me, personally, included a big hello hug from
trystbat, flattering comments aplenty from
netgoth, big laughs with
trid, champagne conversation with
aishlynn,
angel_sil and
theonebob, a hideous gift from
whippingboy, and several bunny-related activities with
aishlynn.
Honorable mentions go to getting to know
wynglyon, distracting Lobster with a philosophical aside, resuming my amateur chiropractic practice, discovering
hooray_death is a good-looking bunch of geeks, cheesy miniature golf, and indoctrinating non-GC3ers into the cult of Mojito.
No plague for me. Not even any sea-legs.
But it still sucks to be back at the office.

The Crystal Method - Trip Like I Do
Nintendo & NIN - Closer to Mario
Apoptygma Bezerk - Kathy's Song (Beborn Benton Remix) (or was this later?)
Grendel - Soilbleed
Something. . . [maybe the Apop was here]
Rob D - Clubbed to Death
Clan of Xymox - Jasmine and Rose
Something else. . .
Front 242 - Headhunter (Apoptygma Bezerk Remix)
In Flames - Everything Counts
[definitive post when I get home and can look at the disks I spun from to jog my memory]
Not as good a set, musically or dance-inducingly, as last year, but part of that was it being the middle of the afternoon, after the free bar. . . that's tough to compete with. :-)
