My nephew's birthday party is today. I've known about this since last night. Because I got home early enough that my parents were still awake and told me about it. Otherwise, they probably would have told me a couple of hours ago, the message delivered via my mom coming in with unwrapped presents for me to give him. And had I gotten up as early as I wanted to, such a message would have interrupted my thesis work, which would have totally destroyed my concentration. Good thing it didn't work out that way.

But there are still unwrapped presents to deal with, and I really don't want to search through a bunch of Christmas gift bags looking for the one birthday one in the bunch.

All I want to do is sit down and work on my damned thesis without being interrupted for stupid questions that are the very opposite of urgent. Is that so much to ask?
