Went to office today. Got delayed on my way in as I was stuck behind a learner driver who took forever to take a right turn from our lane on to the main road! While I was frustrated and watching the clock, I remembered how nerve-wracking such junctions were when I was just learning. I'm glad people were considerate and patient when they waited for me, and today was my turn. Today was the secret santa for my floor, and I got some very interesting gifts! Well, you can't go wrong with a box of ferero rocher, but I also got a gift set of perfumes (it was a largish botle, so maybe eau de toilette? need to have another look before I put it away!) and most interesting of all, a card that said "merry christmas brother" - with some really fancy calligraphy inside! Everyone around was really confused/surprised by the card - do I have a long lost brother in office? After work, I rushed home to pick Shruti up and head back in the direction of office. Today was the last day of "Globe Cafe" for the foreseeable future, a bittersweet evening to end over 10 years, 5 of which I attended. It was nice to meet the old timers, plenty of whom have become our good friends. Globe cafe usually winds up at 9:30pm, but this time the volunteers didn't ask us to leave as they usually would, and we were there till past 10. I was super tired and really needed to go to bed by the time we left!
