Every once in a while the universe, or in this case the company I work for, gives you a gift. And you sit there stunned for a moment, wondering if they’re serious. And then the shock starts to wear off and you think “oh my god! how did I get so lucky?”

It’s been longer than I thought since I posted. No OLS meal this week, at least not formally. We just didn’t have our act together after getting home.
