Different Year, Same ....
Jan. 3rd, 2006 07:45 amGood Morning and Welcome to another year.
New Years was a good time. People joined me at my house for good conversation, appetizers, hot apple cider, and champagne.
jschmidt and S, and
mle292 and Squeaky were there. We talked and we ate and drank and had a good time.
The next day started (for me) around 11am I think. Then there was breakfast with
mle292 and Squeaky. A little bit of WoW, then talking and cribbage with
mle292. Then she took off for
davedujour's LOTR party, and got in a little more WoW followed by some sleep. Monday I got up at noon and cleaned the house a bit and then worked out at my usual time. Picked up a new faucet for the kitchen sink (it has only needed replacing for 8 years).
Now it is Tuesday morning, I am at work, and wondering if the New Year is important at all and if it makes any difference. I don't think so. But I don't think I'd give up my holiday either...
From an internal newsletter... "Team members at headquarters locations may take off this day after New Year's." May take it off? May take it off? WTF? Sure glad I don't feel guilty about taking off one of the few Holidays we do get. May take it off. *shakes head*. Yeah, thanks, you bet your ass I will.
Anywho. I was supposed to see that before the new year, so I would forget it and be in a good mood this morning. But as I went home sick on Friday last year, I didn't see it until this morning. Hrm. Ok, so they are being nice and not forcing anyone to take a Holiday. Sure, why not. It is the new year, I have not had my coffee yet, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. And just delete the email and pretend I did not see it, and pretend some smarmy asswipe didn't actually mean to write it, and it was probably written by a committee of mucky-mucks that have 4+ weeks of vacation anyway. Oh, wait, I was supposed to get over it, wasn't I?
Blah Blah Blah. I think I will listen to the now banned Dean Gray American Edit Mashups. :)
