I was trying to think of something I was thankful for everyday of this week (for instance, I was thankful that Glee season 2 is now available streaming on demand and then I was also thankful for the guy who said "wow, that boy sure is a grower") but as I was lying down about to go to sleep I thought of what to be thankful for which is all the great co-workers I've had.
11/21/2011
I replied to a work e-mail I'd been sent even though I knew it was an unapproved communication with an outside party in violation of company policy, and the outside party got mad even though I was only confirming something they already knew, so I thought about how I need to work on controlling my annoying urge to tell the truth.
