  1. I bought my Mum an advent calendar with ink in it, this year… she also bought it for herself. The gratitude part is that she’s actually using it in a way I like, giving away a bottle of ink each day along with a pen.
  2. Lisa is super excited about the book from their advent calendar today! (Not all the gifts are books, for theirs – I put it together myself, so it’s all kinds of things.)
  3. My wife got me a book advent calendar, classic crime/mystery fiction. It’s so beautifully wrapped and put together, too!

  1. I had a task that required making changes to more than a dozen servers. When I looked into it in detail, I realised that the files to be edited were all owned by a different team, and so they have to do the task, not me. :slight_smile:
  2. A pleasant chat with a new coworker.
  3. Our organisation, CHDE (which we usually pronounce as chode), has new lanyards with CHDE spelled out on them in Morse Code, or as one of us put it, Morse Chode.
