Kiddies and Kitties

Consider this the sequel to last month's preggo coworker post.

Most of the coworkers I chat with have young kids, so convos around the office inevitably center on them. 

You're probably thinking, "Oh no, this is going to turn into a trite 'childless person hates hearing about peoples' kids post." But you're wrong. I don't mind their kid stories. That's not the problem at all. 

I hold it in for as long as I can, you guys. But I'm pretty sure *I'm* actually the awful coworker who can't stop from redirecting any conversation back to her cat. 

Ugh, I'm the worst. 

Priorities.

Holiday Shopping

So, I’ve been asked a few times if I went shopping on black Friday.

I hate malls. I hate parking lots. I hate lines.  I signed up for amazon prime this year. So I get free two day shipping on tons of stuff. BEST. THING. EVER.

It’s fantastic. I’ve done nearly all of my Christmas shopping already. (It helps that I only shop for four people.) It makes me jolly.

Seriously, how am I not sponsored by amazon??

However, there’s one problem. See, half the time the delivery people will just leave the boxes in front of my door:

However, the other half of the time, they will decide they need to leave them with the store underneath my apartment.

This is slightly uncomfortable.  I mean, I’m online shopping to AVOID interacting with people, remember?

Sigh.

How do you guys shop? Do you do it from your comfy couch (okay, futon) like me, or do you actually go out to the stores?
