I get to be Santa
...well, a vampire Santa at any rate. Or a pusher Santa.
See, one of my Engineering coworkers upstairs (a manager) has come back from maternity leave. She used to be a club kid of sorts, and now she's obviously had to make some drastic changes in her lifestyle. Out of some desperation over what to do for New Year's, she knew I was a board game addict and asked what games I thought were good either for 2 players alone or with a group of people.
What followed was a very long series of emails, followed by an AIM conversation, which basically ended with me picking up a game for her -- for which she'll pay me back tomorrow -- and letting her borrow a couple games over the Christmas weekend, since they don't have anything other than the word games that nobody likes to play except her.
I'm going to let her borrow a few games over Christmas, and I'm going to pick up Caesar and Cleopatra for her today.
And I may also have someone to play games with at lunch for the foreseeable future. And I brightened up someone's Christmas. However...
Yes, my pretties... join my vast army of the undead...
