Birthdays and Anniversaries

As you know, I am not a big proponent of annual celebration. I suppose I am even somewhat of a “bah humbug” for Christmas (hey, we did have a Christmas tree in the house). I guess I do not really understand the celebration of a somewhat random thing…and no, I am not complaining about getting older…yet.

Really, I think I just do not like the expectations of these days. Maybe it will change, but I am content with a quiet birthday with no one noticing that it was my birthday. Not that you should forget on purpose, but I won’t mind if you don’t call me on my birthday. It really is no big deal, I won’t think any less of you.

Of course, this does not apply to other things.

What a morbid blog…. I suppose I can use the cheering up…and has anyone seen my UC Berkeley staff ID? I think this may be the cause of my negative birthday/anniversary thoughts.

Dealing with Delays

1. Bring something to read
2. The Internet is a great time killer
3. If you can, bring a pillow and nap (definitely not for most occassions)
4. If the delay is expected…arrive late (not recommended unless you are 100% sure of the delay, even airlines have their 1% on time policy)
