We're staying in this afternoon/evening and trying to get some Christmas shopping done online. Gawd, I couldn't go back to fighting the malls...... there is just too much screaming and angst and fighting for parking spaces....
And that's just me....
So, yeah.... there maybe some wine involved.. IDK... we'll have to roll the bones and see with the gods say...

I'm not breaking out the rum like last night, but I'm totally drinking a few Fat Tires tonight.
I'm at least happy that I get a raise every year. The work sucks and it's nasty but the company itself isn't bad to work for.

Like every place, there are personality clashes and drama, but so far the thought of getting out of bed and going to work doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a hot poker, so I'm doing okay.
I work in one of the most stressful departments, so we have to joke around and laugh or we would go crazy. I considered my first a$$ chewing to be a badge of honor. I officially belong in the office now. LOL
Speaking of raises and what not our idiot accounts manager hopped on the monthly conference call and complemented us on completing each "challenge" that is put before us and that our efforts won't go unnoticed. Each time a new project is announced I get sick to my stomach because I know it will be a bigger cluster f**k than the last. These "challenges" he refers to consist of doing more work in a shorter time frame. In other words we get beaten like plow mules.
And our efforts go very unnoticed; two years without a raise while the company won contracts, extended contracts, and ammended contracts. We finally got a raise this year, it was a chumpy 2%.
And for the record our contract paid $22 million in 2010.
Each contract has it's own budget, but yet raises come from the corporate level.

Weekends and weekday nights at this time of year are horrible at the malls and shopping centers...I don't want to be anywhere NEAR them!
I'm going to a neighbors house tonight to eat, drink and watch football.
I don't know jack about football. I mean I get the gist of the game, but all those little flags and strategy...I don't get it.
And I have to say this too...I HATE that college football players let their calves show. That is the stupidest look ever!

Not all of them do, some wear long socks or stockings to cover.
There's some uniforms that has there pants going to do cover there shins with shin guards, but most players don't want them because it makes there legs a bit cooler on the field.
And my calves are huge. I want to show them off LOL
And the Cincy Bearcats just won a share of the Big East championship with West Virginia.
Looks like I'm going to the store for hoagies!
I watched UCLA get their azz handed to them last night, that guy from Oregon, James, he's a fast little SOB.
