it's that time of year where we start putting on a daily comedy act called "moving to a new location, by sarah, peter and oaxaca"

sarah: hey, guys, i have a question for you--
oaxaca: yes, i will give you a ride on my cart, but it'll cost you a nickel.
sarah: yesss!
peter: no, you will not, because she'll fall off and we'll have to pay workers comp.
sarah: even better!
oaxaca: isn't moving fun?
peter: ...i hate you both.

when i got back from lunch, today, my office manager and HR guy sang me "happy birthday," very, very quietly. i thanked them, and then they reminded me that they will sing much louder at tomorrow's monthly office-wide breakfast meeting. i informed them that i do not like being the center of attention, and they decided to make a special "sarah announcement" at every meeting from here on out.

joy.

i told them "I...don't have a threat for you. YET. ...Just wait."
