In accounting, there's no vacations over christmas.

In accounting, no one can hear you scream.
At least the pays good... oh wait.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Impressive.  Overall, it appears Euros aren't quite as lazy as I'd previously believed. *golf clap*

I don't know about other Euros, but in Spain many people work insane hours. Unpaid, of course. Which leads to people doing fuck all during those hours ...

Anyway, I'm not taking any day off either. Got too much work to do, and I hate wasting days during short work-weeks such as these.
Though I might ask to spend a few in exchange for afternoons off. I fucking hate coming back to work after lunch. Kills my productivity, too.

It's only the second day of courts being closed and I'm already getting bored at work.  :boring:

I did my final bout of Christmas shopping. I got the Best of Elton John "Yellow Brick Road Anniversary Edition" CDs, "Joys of Gay Sex" guide book, Frankie Goes to Hollywood Greatest Hits, Like a Prayer Remastered CD, a Mika's latest album, plus, for a gift, a gay novel and a pair of red Tommy Hillfiger briefs.

I think the shop attendant may have suspected I'm gay. :ph34r:

Is there anything in your like that hasn't been taken over by homosexuality yet? Do you also buy gay shampoo?

I may go to: The Rose Bowl.

I just found out my friend who was going to be having a New Years Eve party got a ticket to go.  Lucky bastard.

I am on vacation this week and next.  I haven't work more than 10 days since the start of November though.

None.  Working.  Taking all of January off.   :cool:


There's my man! ^_^


Working over the holidays and will take 2-3 weeks sometime in january/february - once I've accumulated it.  Does a world of good to really take of for several weeks.

I'll work tomorrow from noon until around 6pm or so, then I'm officially off until January 5. On January 5, I'm going on a three-day, two-night company retreat. My real day back will be January 11. That being said, I'm on call for the company from December 26-31, since the owner will be in North Carolina.

As for what I'm doing, the kids are at their dad's from yesterday through December 31, so Max and I plan to have lots of sex between now and then. We're going to midnight mass at the episcopalian church nearby on Christmas Eve, then fuck all on Christmas Day. We might have dinner with some friends at a Chinese restaurant, or we may stay in depending on if we can be bothered to get dressed.

The week after will be spent cleaning the bedrooms until they shine since my mother is coming for a visit. On December 31, the entire Meri family will be coming here for the new year (and I can tell you Max is thrilled!) and to celebrate Jak and Carter's 16th birthday. (It's January 2.) There will be much sewing, puzzles, computer gaming, and board gaming while I'm off, as well.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I get Christmas off because I have to take it, hehehehehehe. I'd rather be out grabbing absconders at 5:00 am on Christmas Day because I know where they'll be.
