Sights of the season

I know I have my rule about not talking about the daytime thing I do five days a week, but I have to tell you this. I just have to. And then I'll resume being quiet about it.

Here's a first for you. This has never, ever, EVER!!! happened before. Are you ready for it? Please, make sure you're sitting down....

The office has a Christmas tree.... an actual visual indicator of what time of the year it is!

We also had our Christmas party last week. We've done that before, but this was different. In the past it was always at some dining establishment. It would appear, however, with new owner comes new ways of doing things. This year, we had it catered (well, not really.... we all chipped in and made the appies and the dinner and it was very good!) and we had it at the office. After the close of business. "Beverages" were brought in and the co-workers from the branch were flown in and we all ate, drank and made merry together. A very nice (and different) start to the holiday season.

A lot of stuff has happened at the full time gig since the 1st of the month. I knew things were going to change and that I would probably find myself, on more than a few occassions, standing there, shaking my head in wonderment. But I never, ever, ever! thought that I would find myself totally speechless and amazed as the company begins to turn itself into what many would consider "normal". It's a whole new attitude with a whole new approach.

And the change? Well, this change is good!!

Merry Merry!
