I’m having a day of remembering why it is that I started working in the Internet industry.
Today, our Human Resources department sent out an announcement that in honor of both Einstein’s Birthday and the coincidental fact that today is 3/14, we would be celebrating with free pie at 1:59 pm.
For those of you scratching your heads in confusion, it’s a math joke.
Pi = 22/7, or approximately 3.14159.
Even better? The pie was tasty, and they bought too much. So I took home an entire peach pie.
Yes, I am a geek.
(And yes, I did edit the timestamp on this post to make it 3/14 @ 1:59. See previous paragraph.)

I was on the math team… I get it! And I love it! Plus, pie sounds good. It was my big craving while I was pregnant, and I never managed to find a slice that was good enough to quell the craving.

Oh, that’s great. Can’t wait to see what they’ll do at 9:26 on March 14, 2015.
(Yeah, I’m a geek, too.

OMG you supergeek… love the timestamping!

The Mistah kept mentioning it was “International Pi Day” and I was all “international pies? where?”

I work with engineers, mathematicians, and physicists, so we also celebrated Pi Day! We had five different pies, two of them homemade and three of them with gluten-free crusts so that I could have some.
