As I mentioned before, our evening holiday party was cancelled, which suits me fine - my time. Now we are having some sort of casual lunch brought it during the work day, and I think the company is buying everyone $50 gift cards to awl-mart ( p-tooie). Guess I'll buy one round of groceries there and be done.

So today is Gotcha Day and with the grades and the lying and all I wasn't gonna do anything, but go get mac wings for dinner, but then he misses the bus, does not call for over an hour, doesn't answer his phone that whole time, throws attitude and is generally being a pita - so no. nothing. happy day.

I'm just getting on a bus home now and I still have troubleshooting to do tonight, which needs to happen before cocktails. If anyone asks why I didn't come to the party, I legitimately can tell them I had to work late.

My big department is doing a potluck lunch, and I think last year that's where the Yankee Swap or whatever happened. My team is trying to do a get together that was going to be at my house, but I think the scheduling isn't actually going to work out, so maybe we'll just go out to lunch.

Idly watching Peter Pan. So far, Allison Williams is much better cast than Carrie Underwood was.

Interesting. I'd been planning to avoid it strictly based on how badly cast Carrie Underwood was. Maybe I'll give it a look.

You can at least watch the beginning and listen to Kelli O'Hara sing.

I did have a few anxious moments when Peter Pan first started flying. I'm pretty sure Allison Williams almost hit a wall.

Yeah, our holiday party will cost $25/person, plus you can spend up to $25 for the white elephant gift. I'm not sure I'll go...

Crap, I forgot about Peter Pan!

So the drug testing place doesn't accept letters-- I have to wait if the company complains and then provide documentation.
