Happy B-Day Special K

Close friend, frequent commenter, and annoying fact-checker K. is celebrating her __th birthday today. As you can imagine, it's not too fun having a birthday so close to Christmas. People forget that birthday presents and Christmas presents are two different things, and they try to do the old combino, one-for-two deal. Not cool.

And with only a couple of days left before Christmas, people are all stressed out, trying to get out of town for the holiday, and dealing with last minute shopping, screwed up flights, and general Grinchiness from people like yours truly. Take all that and then throw in self-important, a-hole clients who think they can treat people like doormats because their bank accounts match the size of their egos, and you have a combustible mix that can turn what should be a joyous celebration of another year of life into a tornado of anxiety.

Well, I'm here to say, Happy Birthday K.! Don't let the bastards get you down!

Oh yeah - I'll get your birthday present to you sometime next week.
