Oh, and another thing about December, hiring is out of the question, as everyone is on vacation. So, while I continue to look for a job, I'm OK with knowing that I won't be getting a job this month. And why is that? Because "I love this Chistmassy time of year!"
I love Christmas, especially the traditions and non-stop activities. What should we do today? Build a gingerbread house? Decorate the tree? Hang the lights? Wrap presents? Bake holiday cookies? Address Christmas cards? The possibilities are endless!
Oh, and let's not forget my favorite pastime: The holiday work party! We'll be attending the Husband's party this year and I'm actually looking forward to it. Why? Because his new company knows how to party in style. No menu restrictions and 3-hour food delays at this party! Open bar! Fancy venue! Discounted hotel room at a fabulous downtown hotel! What's not to love? We are going to have a rip-roaring good time. What defines a rip-roaring good time? Well, it's somewhere between a few drinks and peeing in the elevator. And yes, someone at my old, old job actually peed in the elevator at a holiday party, so I now use that as a parameter when deciding how much alcohol to consume.
The holidays are particularly enjoyable without having to schedule time off, argue about whose turn it is to take off the week of Christmas, and worry about signing all of those ridiculous cards for vendors. And yes, I hope certain people at the Prison get reindeer poop and stale popcorn balls for Christmas. I also hope they get fruit cakes soaked in curry from Bombay.
Don't be surprised if I suddenly announce "I'm going to be a dentist" after my 400th viewing of Rudolph. My favorite part of Rudolph is when Hermey and Rudolph sing "We're a Couple of Misfits." The line "You can't fire me, I quit!" is always sung extra loud, with feeling, by me. I suspect it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Here's to happy holidays, spiked egg nog, Christmas cheer and truly enjoying the season. XOXXO
