I just bought some jelly beans, chocolate bunnies and plastic eggs, and am making little Easter gifts for some of my coworkers. I know it is a tad early, but I saw all the candy and couldn’t resist. From time to time I will buy small treats and place them anonymously in my coworkers’ mailboxes. I also bought this great coffee mug. It’s got the “Got Milk?” slogan on it and a picture of three cats looking up hopefully. ---

Getting my resume out. I now have 3 1/2 versions. With any luck, by tomorrow I’ll get the 1/2 in satisfactory shape to be counted as a whole number & ready to send. Got the top % raise a month ago - the “walk on water” percentage, but apparently management can’t seem to figure out exactly what to do with me. Swinging like a pendulum from “I’d like to find something interesting at the same company” to “gotta blow this pop stand NOW” should be an interesting Spring. ---

I was thinking about an obscure, weird movie just the other day and saw it in the video store tonight. The neat thing is that I couldn’t remember the plot or who was in it, just a scene or two. But now I know the name and the people in it, so I can find it again if I want to. BTW: “Sirens” w/ Hugh Grant - I recommend it if you can find it, but I’ll warn you, it’s very racy, almost "Henry and June"ish. sunbear - people I remember from when I first started coming here: mangeorge, beatle, handy, Melin (you must have missed here anniversary thread), Drain Bead, Ursa Major in his previous incarnation. ---

Count 'em. EIGHT pages of MPSIMS. Maybe we should change it to: MPSWCRDW: Mundane Pointless Stuff We Could Really Do Without. I implore you: Think hard before starting a new thread!! No one has time to read through each of these!!! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/random-thoughts-mundane-happenings/14800.md?page=1)
