For Katherine

After work, we had our company party for H&H. It was nothing short of expectations from the other girls who had been before. After going around the circle and telling each other one interesting fact about ourselves (my fact was I have been divorced for 2 years and I joined roller derby to combat my aggression from the trauma) we then had a delicious dinner! Everything we ate was perfect. I could describe everything we ate but that's wouldn't be fair to you :) After dinner we played Bingo- but it wasn't a game for friends. People stole gifts and crushed dreams. I actually went home with 2 gifts and some girls took home NADA. I got 2 sparkly nail polishes (which is awesome because I LOVE painting my nails) and then I got a $25 gift card to iTunes. Why did no one steal from me? Because I was quiet. I've been learning how to keep my head down and do my work with relatively no fuss. That's how I will get ahead in this job. Adam taught me that. Be myself, but don't create more work for others- learn to be of help. So in the spirit of that work attitude, I was quiet at this party and it paid off in the form of 2 gifts. But that is only my opinion. Once the party was wrapping up, Kylie, a girl who works in the Bountiful store told me she really wanted my iTunes gift card. She had a mascara eye set from Lancome and asked me if I would consider trading. It wouldn't have crossed my mind before but the trade would make Kylie happy and I was happy just to receive new nail polish... so we traded. I went home happy and so did Kylie. Like I said, I am learning how to help people. We can all be happy together.

"Gimme Sympathy"

by Metric

Get Hot
Get too close to the flame
Wild open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up

Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday
All the chances we took
We're so close to something
Better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones

Gimme Sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones
Seriously, you're gonna make mistakes,
You're young
Come on baby play me something like
Here comes the sun

Don't go
Stay with the all unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took
We're so close to something
Better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones

Gimme Sympathy
