Funny to watch all the high seniority ones with saturday/sunday off trying to get christmas off while the newbies have it off anyway.

Me, christmas is on my "monday". Just another workday for me.

On Friday, my boss decided he really needed to come into the office today, and that one of the two of us needed to be there. I threw myself on that grenade for the good of the platoon -- my co-worker has two pre-school aged girls and had really counted on having the day off to finish up, and in her cultural tradition they throw a massive midnight dinner after evening Mass, followed by a massive dinner the next day. Poor sweet little thing has her hands full, so I'm happy to do it. My boss is a really nice guy, really overworked, so if it'll help him, good on that front too.

The only real question - red shirt, green tie or green shirt red tie?
