    I am here at work. I am hoping my boss lets us leave after a half day. My best friends birthday was yesterday, I had a few cocktails at the comedy show with her to celebrate and I am not feeling so great! lol

    I have to work today too. ... but this week has been cool and laid back.  They had my going away breakfast (YES 2 more work days and i'm out of here) on wednesday, then we had leftovers for breakfast yesterday.  Then we had pot-luck for lunch.  I stopped off last night and got bacon and sausage and we fired up the griddle again this morning (M.I.A. supervisors that were supposed to be here) and we have the left overs of the pot luck for lunch. 

    and i'm on the bee sooooo not much work to be done just clock watching.

    Many people in my office took off today, but since I used SOOO much of my vacation time for the Wedding and Honeymoon (not to mention a trip to the Congo with my parents to visit missionary relatives... and a trip to Orlando last January...) I figured I should come in today.  Usually they let us go early, around lunchtime when it's Christmas Eve, but tomorrow being C.E. I don't have high hopes for this year.

    But hey, 3-day weekend since we get our Christmas Holiday off on Monday. And like a few other people have said, no one really expects anything much will get done.

    Evidently, according to you, I suck at life.  I have the day off.   Tongue Out  I also have the next two weeks off.  Being an educator doesn't pay much, but the vacation time is awesome!

    I'm at work.  Also working Sunday Night.

    My FI has TEN days off!  With all the public holidays that we have coming up, he only had to apply for one day off to get 10 straight off.

    I'm at work and will be working next week too. I took a lot of time off for a trip to Japan, so I'm paying for it now. We went out with some friends last night--they are all off next week and are planning to go into DC to see the museums while I'm stuck at work. UGH!

    But at least you aren't like the other people in my office today. They are here to take a certification exam
