Shoe-goo or something similar smeared into boogerish shapes. Xmas or birthday present for the kids. I need to remember to get more foil along with the glue.

I have to attend the first company christmas party tomorrow night. really don't want to go. for the fourth year in a row, the theme is "gambling night", which was fun the first time and now is boring. i just hope i end up with a GOOD gift this year and not one of the "gag" gifts. meh. at least i'll have my sister to use as a buffer and i won't have to actually socialize with people i don't like(which is most everyone who is going).
we do a White Elephant-like thing too right before we leave for christmas break. except we call it Dirty Santa. there's a $20 limit and i never know what to bring. i usually play it safe and get a gift certificate for somewhere. the guys, inevitably, bring tools of some sort. the boss' gifts are usually the worst. that i had to learn first hand my first or second year here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh.
We just got the rules for our gift exchange, and we're drawing names, the limit is $10, and your item has to start with the recipient's initials. I have in my desk a Jeweled Letter opener, given to JL, my predecessor, several years ago, but they haven't done it since I've been here.

I actually enjoy my office Holiday party.
Good food, free booze, lawers dancing badly. What's not to like?

Call me crazy, but work should never require you to spend money.

Jesse - that's really kind of fun.
We're being "Salvation Army" angels. (Our local Salvy is doing that instead of adopting a family.) And having an office potluck.

Yeah... I feel neutral about that here, since we're a small office and I generally like everyone. But at almost any past job, I would have been freaking out with indignation.
