 I decided to sleep in this morning. All I have to work on is the remaining demos in the webinar I am doing next month. 4 demos and all day to do them. I think I can manage that. Hopefully. Traditionally this is one of those days where little to nothing gets done at most companies unless you have that asshole boss who decides that EVERYTHING must get done before Monday. People like that suck. Same thing goes in December in my mind. One of the jobs I had will always stick out because we shut the company down the last two weeks of December. I remember how we would all be cleaning on that Friday. That was the rule; once the place was clean, we could all go home. And not just surface clean. Oh no, we're talking take the shelves out of the fridge clean. That would have been early 90s so that's probably where I got into this habit of taking the last two weeks of the year off. That was almost 20 years ago. Jeez. Um. No. Correction. 30 years. WTF? Wait. Yeah. For at least 25 years I have been doing that whenever possible. Wow.

Got some news from a buddy last night. When I tell B we have very different friends, this is why. So my buddy is driving to LA next month TO BE ON JEOPARDY! WOO! He made it past the screening sessions and will be on the show. They tape next month and it will probably air in Jan or Feb. I am really proud of him. Hopefully he will do well. We shall see. Regardless of how he does, it's still very cool. 

Got Xmas shopping done yesterday. B is done. Kid is done. B's sister is done. Those were the ones I was in charge of and everything is complete. Starting today until about the 9th gifts will trickle to be wrapped. Keeping it simple this year. Heck, we're not even putting up the big tree. We have a little 3 foot thing B's grandma gave us last year and that's all. Couple of decorations. Not going crazy this year. Mostly because neither of us has the energy to put anything up and we're both dreading putting everything away. Keep it simple. I order 2 gifts for the sister, 7 for the kid (shipped direct to her), and about 10 for B. That's it. Done and done.

Had weird dreams last night. In one, I was trapped in an underwater mental hospital with Trent Reznor. Yep. Explain that one please.

That's about it. Just need to make it through today.
