When you work on the fourth floor, hearing someone trying to break into your office through a window is more than a little frightening. Luckily, it was just a window washer and what sounded like a break-in was simply a cleaning. I think I've been alone in the office a bit too much this week.

In other news, I finished my Christmas shopping on my lunch break and almost managed to walk out without a present for myself. But when you find a book at 20% off that you've been thinking about buying for months and you forgot to put it on your Christmas list, you just have to purchase it. (And don't tell me to go to the library. I do go, and I have countless books out right now. Some books you just need to own.)
