I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Would the world seriously grind to a halt if we just took off from Christmas eve until after the New Year?

SERIOUSLY! When I worked for a tiny non-profit, they had a policy of the office being closed for that week and it was a great decision. I am getting some work done this week, but mostly because it is my last few days and one project I know more than anyone else. Nothing is on deadline and everyone else is either wasting time online or catching up on work that gets shafted when we are busy - all of which could be done from home.

YAY for good baby reports.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I definitely would have noticed a Hellmouth, so I'll say no to that, but Mothra might have slipped past me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What are the conflicting things you've heard, out of curiousity?

Rather more about whether it's kind of an agricultural town or more like wine country.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I worked for a tiny non-profit, they had a policy of the office being closed for that week and it was a great decision.

Ditto and ditto. Although, last week I found out about a 1/3 deadline, so I'd have to do some work this week anyway.... Although I'm scared to do the 15 minutes of work on it that should get done today, because then I'll really have nothing to do.

More agricultural than wine, definitely. Unless it's changed quite a bit in the last 10 years.

That would rock! I'm getting a little work done, but our clients have been 70% no shows today. I heard no one showed up for their appointments on Monday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We have big stuff happening the 4th and 5th, so the theory of being open this week is a good one.

It's the practice, where no one else is here to answer my questions, that sucks.

Well I finished the big personal thing I need to do today and am making progress on my 101 list.

For work I have made progress on 4 work tickets and have semi-taught my boss and co-worker some stuff. I need to call a client, or maybe I can email them and get what I need.

Re: Chico - my perspective on it as a penniless grad student may not be entirely accurate, so that's the skew to correct for with my opinions.
