We had a DME staff appreciation dinner on Saturday at Vinny T's (one of the best Italian restaraunts in Boston, in my sheltered opinion), which I thought was more appreciation than I deserved. But Christina and Tim dropped by tonight to give each of the staff an additional little gift. I wasn't quite sure what to expect: not something expensive--- maybe a mug? a t-shirt? But I could not have been more tickled at their choice of present: a fancy 40 piece screwdriver set and a hot glue gun (such appropriate gifts from mechanical engineers)! I have been wanting a screwdriver since I lost mine at the beginning of this year. Now I'm feeling constructive (or perhaps being deconstrutive would make me happy as well).
