I get extra vacation for Christmas - the company I used to work for fired all its employees yesterday morning. <3 Woo hoo! Job hunting, here I come.

Get me something nice and warm. And a big bowl of hot soup to go with it!

A seat by the fire, a warm blanket...
I'm actually kinda jealous...

It's unusually warm for December here

I'm in the same boat, Acally. Already halfway through December and our pipes haven't even THREATENED to freeze once! What kind of winter is this anyhow?

*quickly looks around for some wood to knock on before her pipes all freeze simultaneously and burst and carry her house away in a flood*

I'm not too worried about it, actually. Apparently, in this day and age, web developers are kind of highly sought after. I've already got two different positions who want to meet with me. I'm just enjoying the time I have now by cleaning and hanging out with Mr. B. He's growing up SO fast. He's into boxes now. Literally in a box. Right now, as I'm typing.

Now quit feeling sorry for me and go solve that quote! I think I'll have you guys stumped on this one. *walks away from gauntlet left on the floor*

Christmas time has sent me into overtime, which is good for my business and my bills but I can kiss any vacation time and chill time good bye.

I've got flowers blooming outside on my balcony. I didn't expect snow for Christmas ('t would actually be rather inconvenient), but this is absurd.

Christmas holiday: the time I need to mentally prepare for January, Month from Hell... >_<
I hate January.

We don’t have January in Massachusetts. Our seasons are cold, more cold, really cold, and construction.

I'm starting to seriously dislike December that way. >_< Month from hell indeed and I know January isn't going to be particularly better.

*sigh*

Here also still several plants flowering in the garden, will somebody give them a calendar?

I would consider hibernating until, oh, lets say spring next year, but even the newts are still active and it'd just feel wrong.

So, I got all my certifications, licenses, plus the top o the line commercial insurance and bonds; hey presto! I'm in business for myself making a handsome penny.
