something I am grateful for today

The first day back at work after the holiday break, definitely does not drag. Almost time to go home already, yow! Tempus fugit!

why I think Bones and I would get along fine

1) If I ever name-dropped a popular culture reference and she said “I don't know what that means”® as she usually does, I wouldn't give her The Look like her co-workers do, I would patiently and matter-of-factly explain the reference to her.

2) At some point I would eventually say to her, “I hope you'll forgive me for persisting in referencing pop culture that you don't recognize, because your pop culture knowledge is widely scattered. You know Cyndi Lauper and you know a lot of jazz, for example. Therefore, it's hard for me to predict in advance which references you're familiar with and which ones you aren't. So I keep trying and hope for the best.”

3) And after I said that to her, she would get it without any problem, and she wouldn't think it was weird of me to say it.

We would get along fine.
