But if I got laid off right now, I've probably already done the bulk of my holiday spending. So it gets to suck and I'm out the dosh anyway. And I can't really use the time to job hunt.
The past two days were crazy long because we had vendors in and we had to squeeze every paid hour out of them. Now I miss them. They were funny guys. Turns out they even kept their snarky comments in the excel spreadsheet we're using to manage the data migration. I like the irreverent vibe. Especially when it's matched with brains, like it obviously is.
Our Holiday lunch is today, and the personnel manager person just sent out an email saying the office is completely and officially closed from 12:15 to 3:00.
I guess they want us all to go.
I'm making my parents a Christmas mix, and wondering if it's weird to have two versions of the same song, in different styles?
Not at all! I've got a Starbucks holiday album with two versions of "Little Drummer Boy" on it, one by Bing and one sung in German by Marlene Dietrich.
We didn't get to go to the team lunch or the office lunch, because the vendors were in and we were squeezing and working through lunch. Which, illegal, but I do it most days anyway. Boss bought us lunch both days, so I'm not even remotely complaining.
In her office they routinely collected $75 from each person for a gift for the boss and then, for a "Holiday Party" went out to a very expensive restaurant, at each individual's expense.
...The fuck?

Do it!

I enjoy the Dandy Warhols version.

OK, good. I'm trying to stick to religious songs, and it's hard! I have so many pop songs.
And my completely unsubstantiated Biblical fanfic fanwank is that she wasn't the first possible Mother of God who was asked, that there were others to whom the offer was made, but they couldn't quite nerve themselves up to make that jump.
Makes me think the Lord has crummy pick up lines.
"Hey, baby! Wanna let me fill you with my Holy Spirit?"
I like that kind of stuff, Jesse.

Yeah, but maybe you haven't given it away to people yet, or had the big holiday dinner.
I mean, it sucks big time either way but I think before would probably be better.

Well, faced with privation, you do what you have to do. I can't imagine the grief of having to unwrap and return presents. Not that I think I could return what I've bought, though. Etsy.
I'd probably be looking to skip people on Christmas if I got laid off just before.
The 00s sucked.
Usain Bolt notwithstanding.
