thankful for
1) getting to leave work slightly early for team outings
2) anecdotes -- most memorable was a story about the managing director's daughter and tooth fairies.
the daughter
(who believes in tooth fairies)
lost a tooth when she was in a trip to japan with her mother,
and despite tucking it under her pillow,
did not receive her prize (mother forgot).
the daughter apparently told the managing director about this when she came back,
and the managing director told her that
it was because japan didn't give the tooth fairy a visa.
3) the scenery during the walk back home.
the trotting passers-by,
the blazing lights of passing cabs,
the starless, but peaceful, sky
and the shuffled batch of walk-ups that line up before me
