...Except maybe my stomach in a few hours. ;)
Today is goodie day in my department, where everyone brings in something yummy to eat or drink, and we snack our way through the day. There are currently at least four kinds of cream-cheese based dips with crackers available, among other tasty treats. I think I'm close to the lead for healthiest offering with my broccoli salad with sunflower seeds and bacon, though the bacon and coleslaw dressing may knock it down a few pegs.
We are celebrating payday, the holiday next week, and the 2.6% bonus payout for almost meeting our sales goals this past fiscal year. This might be the last time we get one; I love the digital age, but it's leaving our printing company in the dust. It doesn't help that the marketing department for the parent company has no idea what to do with us. We've been a small but dependable source of profit for so long that now that our sales are slipping and our outmoded hardware and software are showing their age, people are starting to worry.
I am fighting to finish this razzer-frazzer project, and it is driving me batty. It's code initially written by several other people almost a decade ago, as they were just learning this development environment, and the last update was 2007. Trying to make seamless changes is nearly impossible; an improvement here breaks something else there. My user contact has been very patient, as she can see how much things will be improved when it's done. However, getting there is taking forever.
Meanwhile, as it's Friday, and there's food and distractions like the Avengers kissing fest going on over at![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

How are you all doing?
