the celebration, the shin, the orchid

Some exciting, toast-worthy news: I passed my one-year probation at work. While not difficult (I rule, people, I really do), I have the tendency to put my nerves on eggshells for these kinds of things. You know, I was that asshole who got A's but was always like, "Gee, I don't know...I think I failed the final exam." I'm kidding. I mean, sometimes, I was that asshole. However, my one-year perks? Key to the building (ooh la la), more vacation hours, cha-ching, and clout.

Steve and I played racquetball tonight and afterward, I thought it would be awesome to swing my shin directly into the trailer hitch on his truck. It was a horrible moment and I cried.

Now, an uplifting moment:

Remember this?
