Birthday dinner for my brother-in-law this evening at Scusi - dam good!
Then back to our house for a snort of Bushmill's Malt.
That's a good night!

Gotta figure out what to buy my nieces for Christmas (the two exceptions for my "no gifts" stance; c'mon....they're kids!), then brave the beyond-crappy traffic around the local mall to get the presents. Blech.

Did find out that working the 24th was optional (although no pay if you don't work). Finding out that it will involve a lot of boring menial work (sweeping/dusting/rearranging some stock), it's worth my time to NOT get paid and actually enjoy an additional day off. Before you ask why we just don't close, we do ship out Next Day Air type stuff, and usually get about 10-20 shipments that must be processed, and we never have time during a normal day to do all the menial work.

Done with work till January 2nd. Hooray! Tonight had my annual Christmas dinner with my original Thursday night drinks friends. We all exchanged gifts and gave gifts to hottie bartender and all the others as well. Hottie bartender loved what I got him, he said "You know me better than my family." Heh.

I need to finish my shopping tomorrow. I also have some Christmas cards to send out (should have gone out earlier this week, d'oh!) and one gift to mail. It's for my cousin's new baby. He's a month old so he won't know if it shows up after Christmas.

Almost hit a dog on the way to work this morning. Came within inches of taking out someone's chocolate lab right before Christmas.

Yeah, you wouldn't have wanted to do that. If you wasn't on the naughty list already....

So far, nobody screaming about the end of the world on TV.

If the world has indeed ended, I don't think a desert is the best place for survival.

Ok, we're going to need a water source, and some good hunting/gathering/farming area. And an ice rink or two.

My personal thought would be to bug out to one of the smaller islands out on the Great Lakes. Something far enough away from shore that a wandering Zombie wouldn't just happen to take notice of a group of survivers hanging out on the beach in the summertime. We would have to make trips back to the mainland to forage for supplies, but heck, its that first initial wave of zombies you gotta outlast. once some of the zombies succumb to rot and just falling apart due to their staggering around, the chances of running into a large horde of Zombies would become pretty slim. just that occasional pesky bugger that can pop up when you're least expecting one to.

Morning Lodge.

Woke with a headache at 3 AM, tried to go back to sleep with limited success. Ate too much crap at the pot luck yesterday, I'm sure.

Another e-mail was sent to our US team last night from the rep in Azerbaijan. I'm wondering if their goal is to make us quit so they can take our good conceptual designs and turn them over to a cheap Turkish firm to execute. This crap is becoming beyond unreasonable.:mad:

Good Morning, Lodge!

Brent: If you need last minute gifts, I do have some craft items that you might be interested in. Let me know. Same goes to all the Twin Cities people.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #159: Lodge's Attitude Toward Christmas/Holidays

I don't think a 5 year old and a 3 year old would be interested in crafts. ;)

Afternoon, all.

Getting a haircut then off to Eden Prairie for a hockey tournament. I ended up getting a free room as the coach, so should be a fun night with the parents!
