Good luck Santa



Since a good hunk of my job is aviation safety related this makes me giggle. I'm a dork, but I'm ok with it.

Christmas Eve Eve

Woo hoo!

Beside being the best time of the year to be at work (no one is here, no meetings, very productive) they are letting us out early this year!

I have presents to wrap, dogs to wash, possibly some cookies to bake ...

All the wonderful things that make up the Christmas season.

Plus I'll be spending time with the manfolk and family.

Just. Awesome.

A Turtle Christmas

The manfolk sucks at keeping gifts until the day they are supposed to be given. Often it works out for me because he feels the need to go out and get another one to replace the one he couldn't wait to give so I have something for 'the day'.

Well... you know I love turtles, and you know I love Christmas. He managed to find a turtle Christmas t-shirt for me. I'm wearing it today because it just seemed fitting to get it to me before Christmas.

He's good.

Tis the Season

I love Christmas.

A lot.

It is my favorite time of the year. People are happier (unless you are in Walmart), it is fun to buy meaningful gifts for people, people generally are more giving (unless you are in Walmart), and the decorations make my heart happy.

Not really a religious person, but I think the holiday season is bigger than that. A little to commercial sometimes, but generally brings out the best in people (unless you are in Walmart or the mall parking lot).

Just when everything was rolling...

Picked a date for the wedding, put down a deposit, bought plane tickets, paid for dog surgery, about to sign on a slightly bigger place to live... lots of money out the door in the last few weeks.

So of course the manfolk got laid off this morning. Apparently their team was too efficient and got their project done, so the company is restructuring and no longer has a need for them. WTF? You did your job too well so now you are unemployed?

Plus they told him this morning and said his last day would be Friday. What company does that? Aren't you setting yourself off for a pissed of employee to sabotage you?

On another note, as much as my people make me crazy I am extremely lucky to have a stable job that I enjoy (except for the days where I want to strangle someone).
