moi

sooo today is my birthday.  and nobody at my office knows, which is just fine with me.  but since i am spending most of my birthday formatting proposals i'm going to take this opportunity to tell you all a little bit about myself since it's the day i get a free pass at narcissism.

1.  in college i majored in philosophy, which was one of the best and most rewarding decisions i ever made.  i joke about it a lot, but i genuinely believe i would not be the same person if i had done it differently.  unrelated to philosophy, but still on the topic of college:  my biggest regret from college was chickening out and choosing not to audition for the starkid potter "a very potter musical" that eventually went viral on youtube. yeah, i went to school with darren criss.  we had a class together.  no big deal.  sometimes i fantasize that i would have made an awesome cho chang, alas, take this as a lesson about missed opportunities.

2.  i am distantly related to alexander hamilton and one of the original pilgrims.  me and america go way back.

3.  when i was in middle school i was pretty rough looking.  i had a seriously too long awkward phase between the ages of nine and seventeen.  when i was thirteen the one and only boy who had a crush on me in middle school invited me to his bar mitzvah.  unfortunately a few weeks prior to the event a tree fell on me at summer camp and i broke my tibia.  like straight up snapped my shin bone clean in half.  i'm pretty sure this boy's mother thought i was lying when i explained in my RSVP that i couldn't come because i had a broken leg.  i still feel weird about it to this day.

4.  i really love my job.  i work in marketing for an architecture, engineering, and interior design firm and it's one of the coolest things to feel like you're a part of building something new.  i work in a renovated stone church that was originally built in the 1800's right by an original tiffany stained glass window.  if you've ever been to the city creek center mall in salt lake city, utah, which was designed by my firm, you probably know that i work with some pretty incredible people.

so there's a few fun facts about becky!  now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to make a checklist of all the stuff i can get for free today in this silly little town of mine.  i think i've heard a rumor about free bagels from zingerman's...
