Additional Onerous Task Note:
If you're a USian employed by a USian employer, chances are this month is Open Enrollment and it's ending soon. If you haven't already gone over your enrollments and updated what needs updating (as well as review any other deductions and allowances and retirement stuff that may need tweaking), tomorrow would be an excellent day to do so.
My gmail account got hacked last night, which - being the tech savvy people you are - most of you seem to have deduced.
Anyway, please delete those while I try to clean it up at my end.

Hi All - Just wanted to send out a reminder that Jen P, Amy G, and I have the b.org mailing list.
If you would like the address of a buffista on the list, maybe to send a goodie, just contact one of us.
If you would like to add or update your information on the list, again, let one of us know. I know we have a bunch of folks who have moved this year.
The basic information we are maintaining - board name, e-mail, real name, mailing address, birthday (though we are missing this for many), and a confirmation that these details can be shared with other buffistae. We also have space to add any notes.
Slacker Secret Santa: All of you who want to exchange presents with other Buffistas but haven't mailed the nicest about it yet, this is your chance!
Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 10th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.
Even though it's titled with the word "Slacker" in it, you do remember that we voted on a gift-deadline of March, right? It doesn't mean you can't slack, just that there's a limit to it. Hope it's OK.
Your truly, Not-Tiny (yeah, I couldn't wait to this post, we covered just how much not-tiny already) Jewish not-Santa.

ANSSWSGE 2012 participants,
If you have not reached out to your giftee with a note, small gift, or even anonymous message or question on elfster...GET ON THE BALL. I, too, am keeping a list of naughty and nice.
