Today is gorgeous. Mid-fifties on my way to work, a nice breeze, it felt like spring. I arrived at 9:45 AM and the office was bustling with activity. Everyone in both groups was chatting amiably and joking with each other. I think it's because we've got a three-day weekend coming up. I also think it should be like this all the time. It would certainly make working here a little more enjoyable all the time, not just during the holidays, when people are pretty much happy anyway.
To start the day Jonathan is listening to On The Rocks, the xm satellite radio martini station, they're playing Sammy Davis Junior right now. Well, it's better than Opie and Anthony, to which he has just switched. I can't breathe again because Joe, who shares a cubicle wall with me, just doused his cube in body spray, or cologne, or whatever he calls it. I'm choking on a cloud of heavily scented areosol. Joe also bought himself a rolex for christmas (not on our salary, you exclaim?) well, you'd be right, Joe supplements his regular paycheck betting on football, and to a lesser extent basketball. And the way the Steelers Pats Falcons and Eagles have run away with the league this year, he's been doing pretty well. His next big concern is getting a watch winder. Ah, to be young and in love.
Hyper manager brought in donuts for the group, which was nice, and coincidentally, I skipped breakfast this morning, it's worked out rather well.
In other news the addition we're putting on the house is nearing completion and the workers' banging and wall-knocking down has stirred up mice. grr. Bingo, the jack russell, is supposed to be a good mouser. But he's no cat. So, while he's doing his best, our situation has changed from thinking we had mice, to knowing we have mice. And there's not much we can do until the addition is finished, and the giant gaping hole to the great outdoors in our dining room wall is closed in. In the meantime, we've taken to naming the mice. We're starting with the names of Santa's reindeer.
Merry Christmas. Love, Tom.
