Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2003 - 3:47 p.m. Yes, Commonwealth, there is a Santa ClausThere's no stronger feeling of buyer's remorse than when you buy a CD mainly for one song and then find out a few hours later (after you've already opened it) that the song for which you targeted that CD appears on another recently purchased disc, but you just hadn't realized it yet. I suppose the lesson is I should listen to what I've just bought before I go back to any music stores. I did manage to peel off the sticker without tearing it, so I might be able to return it. At the very least, I could sell it as a brand new item on Half.com (with full disclosure, of course). Actually, at the very very least, I could give it to my parents. They'll like it. But the bottom line is I now have The Drifters singing "White Christmas" (you know, the "do-do-d-do-do" version used in Home Alone). Argh. I'm hungry. Time for lunch when your co-workers on the other side of the cubicle wall start smelling up the place with pleasant lunches of their own. That, and the one girl with the god-awful annoying, nasally, slow-talking voice -- like Janice from Friends were modeled after her -- won't shut up and it's grating. As in, I'd prefer rubbing my ear up against a cheese grater to listening to her drone on and on about how she once won 80 bucks in Vegas. They're like snowflakes! So I was invited out to lunch with a few people and three of us went in one car and met the fourth person there and on both the ride there and back talked a bit about how she can be annoying sometimes and in some ways, that's not me. But we laughed. I'm out of here shortly. I did a spot of work today, so that's good. I'll go home and pack the car and then watch TV or play Xbox until Casey gets home and we'll head down to Little Silver to go out with Matt and Denise and several others and basically start the Christmas revelry. Then tomorrow, it's on to Johnstown. Here's a bit of holiday cheer. Click here for a bit of the backstory. We take great pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among friends of The Sun:
