This is kinda' cool: Workbay chair keeps your head hidden from your coworkers

If you're looking for a chair to both intimidate your underlings with as well as a chair that will allow you to nap with impunity, you can't go wrong with the Workbay chair from Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. This imposing chair has a huge hood that wraps around your head, giving it a huge stature while also giving you some extra privacy while you site.

I mean, come on, hasn't everyone wanted a desk chair that looks like something Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget sat in? This thing is amazing.

Our company party is at a resort lodge up in the mountains. It'll be dry, most likely, being Utah, but the food should be fancy. Considering my company and the parent company benefit from the catastrophes of others, it's been a profitable year.

Yes, sadly, I work for a company that says, "Hey, look, a hurricane!" then righteously adds on, "I hope it's not *too* bad."

It looks like Dark Helmet from Space Balls.

Our party, which was supposed to be on a docked yacht, was cancelled the day of our lay-offs.

The absence of shrimp amuses me, because my ex-ex-employer's Christmas party, which was held in the cafeteria at the end of a work day, traditionally included a big bowl of shrimp, and whenever we had a financial crisis, there was widespread speculation about whether the shrimp would be there.

Am bored. Am cold. Am feeling like I am forgetting things I need to get for Christmas.

Apparently our school was going to cancel the holiday party and one of the more affluent Hollywood parents decided to underwrite it for us. Ironically, this will be the ritziest party we've had and is costing him, in the words of the head of school, "More than either of my weddings." It's tomorrow night at Sunset Studios, and I'm looking bemusedly forward to it.

Timelies all!

I don't think there's an official holiday party here. The administrative person for our group is having a get-together at her house next weekend.

Tonight I am making cheesecake because we are having a party tomorrow to celebrate G's birthday.

Well since I'm bored and trapped in a waiting room, I wrote out all the Christmas gifts. Unless I am forgetting something, looks like I am short on my dad and grandmother. The book I want to get him to finish it off is 2-4 weeks for shipping unless I find another source. I think I will get her flowers delivered from a local florit for a few months.

So I think I might be really done. If I can just manage to get the cookies made this week.

I haven't bought or knitted a single Xmas present.
