We actually have reservations for breakfast at 10:30 There are around 50 of us, I think. I'm betting the time is when the restaurant could seat us rather than any preference on the scheduler's part, but it will be nice to get the not-actually-working part of the day started so early. Also I would rather order off this restaurant's breakfast menu, I remember thinking that last year when we went to the same place for lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, that sounds kind of great.

I got LBDed last night putting up the tree. At least it was the Bowie/Sinatra version.
That's a win in my book.

I'm still LBD free, but I usually listen to classic rock in the car. Still, I'm out where I'm vulnerable to Christmas Muzak, and I'm still free.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think, if you're gonna get LDB'd, the Sinatra&Bowie version and the new Christopher Lee version are the way to go.

A completely different gripe about my work today. I work in an office with 5 people, we share 1 bathroom. This morning at 9 when I went to use the bathroom, empty tp roll and the sad last paper towel on the roll. People just suck. Supplies are in a closet everyone has access to.

I work by the secondary kitchen area here, and it's to the point where I'm excited if anyone else replaces the paper towels. People!

Hey editors and other knowledgable people:
I'm editing a MSS using CMoS 16th ed. There's a book title at the end of a section of dialogue and I have searched for 20 minutes to see if it should be "Book Title."" or 'Book Title.'"
Any help?
Also, scuba divers? Are C.A.L.M. and/or R.E.L.A.X diving acronyms? I scoured 7 scuba acronym pages and couldn't find them? Am I just blind??
Any help appreciated!

It's pretty good, as work holiday parties go! People grumble if it's a movie they didn't want to see and they'd rather be running errands or whatever, but it's nice to have some enforced leisure, I think, especially since it counts as work time paycheck-wise.

Had the career chat with my manager. I think it went well. Of course, in the same discussion I also got raise and bonus information. It was better than I was expecting it to be, so now I'm all, "Ha ha, oops, I guess you do appreciate me?" I still think moving into a different org is the right thing to do, but it would be nice to do it without any acrimony.
