2010

As many of you know already, my job is supremely boring sometimes. Even when I'm "busy" my mind is free to wander. This effect is compounded on Fridays and on holidays so working on New Years Eve 2010... I was bored :) I entertained myself by thinking over the past year and picking out my favorite things. Movies, books, memories, quotes, inside jokes, lessons learned, and good laughs. So here is what I came up with. Not everyone will understand everything, but see if you can spot the little pieces of you that stuck with me from this year...
