We are open until 2pm here. We'll be keeping you company. Currently we're wallowing in a mire of chocolate, cookies, and chili. Now, there really aught to be a regulation against that combination. Merry Christmas to all you "Easterners".

cbinder - so are you getting the east coast lights, or should I?

It's kind of fun watching the activity on all the other threads tail off, until this is the only active thread left. But I am easily amused.

I know how you feel here's a synopsis of my day.

8:45 - Got to work early to catch up on email, etc.

9:00 - Caught up on Email, rest of crew here (yeah I'm not alone)

9:10 - A few suprise gifts from co-workers. (I feel loved)

9:30 - What a slow morning.... I think I'll write some policies.

9:35 - Good god is this day ever going to end.

Actually the Chili sounds pretty good. Its a cold (40) and overcast day here in the Napa Valley area of California

But we have a big fire and the door to the wine cellar is open.

I'll be happy to turn out the west coast lights for anyone that wants to leave early.

Be sure to leave the door to the wine cellar open!

Perhaps this is what inspired the line, "but inside its so delightful".

The thread title needs changing, it isn't so early anymore. And since I finished my shopping Sunday, I have all this free time today I've never known. But I still have the urge to get out there and do last minute shopping.

Now Andy, I know that you're not posting this from home are you? You are as addicted to us as we are to you! Okay, only 10 more minutes then I have to hit the turnpike and head out of town in the snow, snow, snow. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Just want to thank everyone for the good wishes. I survived the surgery and am back at work today.....without those great and terrific pain pills may I add.

Welcome back, bwest! Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery.

Just wanted to say Happy Holidays to all BOL-er's and a Happy New Year!!!

If you are trying to finish up audit reports like me, some of those folks audited may wish you were still taking the pain pills.

Glad to hear you are back. Hopefully the pain is gone and the healing is in high gear.

bwest,
Glad to know that you are better and all went well. I was off last week, it was great!! But I sure had a lot to catch up on here at BOL.

Since you are without your pain pills, may I suggest something I found. I broke a bone in my foot last Monday (great timing, vacation and everyone at my house for Christmas). We went to New Orleans for a little R&R this weekend and I found that, given enough wine, the foot doesn't hurt at all . I also discovered Godiva Chocolate liqueur, great alone or in your coffee.
I would recommend that you wait till you get home, the boss probably wouldn't understand that the wine was for medicinal purposes.
