fbhjrMy wife and I went to the Revels tonight. We’ve gone every year for some time now, and always have a good time. But, this year seems above average, even for a consistently good show. They had a “guest” singing group of 6 women that was fantastic. (It probably would have been better still if I could understand the language of their songs, but that doesn’t detract from a good performance.)
And, they had a dance group that was just stunning. There were points when I swear they must have been levitating to do what they did.
The theme every year is winter solstice celebrations from a different part of the world. So, it made it extra special to be there on the night of the solstice.
So, a really good time.
The office Christmas party last night, no so much. Why letting people drink at the office seemed like a good idea, I don’t know. Even the CFO said to me “I smell liability in the air.” I left early, so as far as I know nothing bad happened. At least nothing they talked about today.
Today I forgot my gift for the Yankee Swap. That made me quite sad as I had really looked forward to making sure “Project Management for Dummies” ended up in the right hands. But, that’s what I get for trying to be sarcastic.
We did get a bonus. Not much, but anything is better than nothing. And, for reasons not clear to me, they gave out “Red Sox Champion” shirts. I’d rather have had a company shirt. But, that’s me.
Now I get 4 days off. Monday is going to be hectic with driving my mother in law back and forth across MA. But, at least well get to see her this holiday.

Date: 2007-12-22 03:43 pm (UTC)I had my company party on the Thursday Of Hell last week...Thankfully no alcohol...But good food....And no Yankee Swap. Although on my Dad's side of the family we've been doing a swap for the last few years, and is usually pretty fun and at least 2-3 "silly" gifts. And there has been 1-2 legendary "repeats" that end up in the pile year after year.
good luck with the driving.
