More fun birthday hijinks: The interns, Pat and Esther, got me a very nice card that mocks President Dubya. That made me happy. Andy, who sits behind me and it the closest thing I have to a staff (if you can count as staff someone who is anti-corporate as all hell and constantly plotting my demise), was less pleased, as he either forgot or couldn't care less. (Actually, he said, "I didn't want to mention it, because I know people are sensitive when they turn 40." Smartass.)

At any rate, I just got back to my desk to find it completely draped in "Over the Hill" banners. Thanks, Andy. Now I feel loved.
