Today is double-whammy day for me. It’s my late day – which sucks – but even worse, it’s stupid meeting day. No doubt we’ll be forced to consider what to do for our Christmas Party (sorry, we didn’t get the War on Xmas memo). There are three groups involved, and my group is the antisocial group that really doesn’t want to do anything (at least, nothing that involves the other two groups), yet we’re all obliged to go and hang out. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the gesture, it’s just that if I’m not going to be doing my job, I’d prefer to be home. I guess I’m just an ungrateful bastid.

The only good thing about my late day is that I go in later, and therefore have extra time to kill in the morning (god forbid I could actually sleep later), so I’ve been watching video of Roy Clark playing various instruments (anything with strings, that man can play), and with various people (many of whom have sadly passed away). 79, and still cookin’, so good for him. I wonder if he ever played with Doc Watson?

Only nine more shopping days until the world ends when mystery planet Nibiru collides with Earth on 12/21, so you better get busy. On the bright side, at least we won’t have to suffer through Christmas (which is on a Tuesday this year; pretty piss-poor planning on somebody’s part – so much for the whole “intelligent design” theory).

Happy Hanukkah, by the way. This is what, like day 5? Lucky you guys, you get to get all your presents before Armageddon sets in.
