Long time no see

When you update your website on a quarterly basis, it’s necessary to post some awesome stories. Recent events have made this easier, because I now work at Microsoft. My very first act there was to walk into a lamp in the lobby.
About a week later, I was seated with my boss at a table and needed to unplug my laptop. The outlet was quite a ways underneath, so down I went. Unfortunately my cord was stuck, and the sound effect that goes with this problem is sort of an, “Eeh.” Consider for a moment, the perspective of my boss (a very nice lady) who just watched her new employee crawl under a table and squeak like a mouse. My dignity is so fleeting.
As of the last update, poor Nom was recovering from a broken tail, which has been restored to its full glory. Shortly after he recovered, I left a lily on an off-limits counter. The plan was to plant it in my garden. Nom had another idea, and as soon as my back was turned, ate it. Lilies are toxic to cats, so he spent the next 48 hours getting fluid through tubes and being force fed activated carbon. He recovered from this too, and is doing well, though he’s a bit grumpy that I leave for work.
