One of my co-workers, who has possibly the boomingest voice in the northern hemisphere, and who spends great gobs of time on the phone as part of her job, seems to be able to hold entire conversations by bellowing "Good stuff!" fifteen times in a row. In the last three hours, I must have heard "good stuff!" at top volume at least 5,042 times, and I'm not even in the same office. Please god, make her stop before I have to smothercate her with my umbrella. Or stab pencils into my ears.

On the happy front:

- We're closing at 2:00 p.m. today, so, yay! Just one hour and fifty minutes till freedom!

- Digital camera! Yippee for Christmas booty! Now I just have to figure out how to use it. Any requests for practice shots? Wanna see a picture of the singularly adorable family dog? The equally adorable cats? The contents of my sock drawer?

- merryish has posted a Due South story! Which I can't read yet because I'm stuck at work listening to co-worker add to the "good stuff!" collection. Except now she's added a "shoo, doggie!" to the chorus. "Shoo, doggie! Good stuff!" AHAHAHAHA!!! Sob.

I've only managed to sneak enough time to read about twenty of the SeSa stories so far, but I'm hoping, what with early closing, that I'll be able to devote the afternoon to an orgy of reading, tea drinking and, possibly, chocolate savouring. Followed by wine guzzling and feedbacking.

I got a digital camera too, what kind did you get?

I got a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90. Not state of the art, by any means, but I'm sure it's going to be more than adequate for my needs. How about you?

I got a Kodak, C430 with the docking/printing station. Now I am thinking I should have looked at the Canon's...I know NOTHING about photography, and wanted an easy to use camera...and the Kodak looked the easiest.

I think you're right -- a Canon would have been a great idea. But I figure since, like you, I don't know great whacks about photography, this one will do what I need for now. It has some manual controls, so I can adjust the aperture and shutter speed (she says, trying to sound intelligent) when I get bored with pointing and shooting. In the meantime, I'll be challenged enough just figuring out what the different buttons do. :)
