A more generous holiday outlook....

OK,

So I’m feeling a bit more generous towards the holidays today. I guess we can all be allowed to go a little insane from time to time…right? I mean it can get to all of us sometimes so lets just move on. I just put it in writing is all. I was a bit over the top yesterday in my loathing of the “season of joy”. What can I say?

Anyway, I am now on vacation for xmas… let the real work begin.

Part of my change in attitude may be because I had an xmas party today with work folk. I work at a great place with real nice people. One of the higher ups where I am invited our whole group to her home for some xmas cheer. Being me, ended up working until almost 3 even though she said we could knock off early at 2 pm (like I said, it’s a great place to work). So I showed up and my host graciously offered me a drink. She said “I have cocktails, wine, beer….” End of options so I chose beer. I was two swigs into my Corona and lime when I noticed that I appeared to be the only one in the group of 15 or so imbibing alcohol. Sudden horror. “Will they think I’m a lush?” I could hear them thinking, “Drinking beer at 3pm on a work day?” “How can we promote someone who drinks beer at their bosses house at 3pm!”uh-oh.

My direct supervisor looked at me a bit funny, but then I noticed some wine glasses around and felt better about it. Besides, they all knew that I worked in the Music business. To me being offered a beer at 3pm is late in the day day. I mean at my last job we had a beer fridge! Still, I was the only one in the room sipping beer from a bottle. Ah well. Hopefully by the time I am back at work in the New Year they will have forgotten.

Anyway I am glad to be on Vay-K!!!

Listening to Radiohead “Hail to the Thief”. I miss Radiohead. I forgot how good this record was. Gorgeous melodies and melancholy vocals. I’ve got my Radiohead, A cup of coffee and 8 days of time off ahead of me… Ahhhhhhh.
