How many times can you say--I had a really nice day at work?

For me that is a very big rareity. We had our Christmas Luncheon yesterday. Turkey, ham, side dishes, rolls, desserts enough to feed an army, we have about 30 out here in the bat cave. Everyone started cooking at 6:30, the kitchen was warm and cozy, we have a full kitchen out here with stove and dishwasher for our occassional parties. Everyone pitched in, we put the tree up and it was just a nice day, I was pooped but it was worth it. We even said prayer before we ate, while I was driving to work I thought we needed one and several people asked me before we ate if we could do it and many today have said thanks for having a prayer. I am sure I will continue to hear about it from the boss but I dont care, we need more prayer in this country, that is why we have so many crimes and delinquents.

So, on those rare occassions when you have a really nice day at work, remember to savor every moment of it and dont let anyone take it from you.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE NORTH POLE!
IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE NORTH POLE!
A Note from: Santa Claus I regret to inform you that, effective immediately, I will no longer serve the States of Georgia, Florida, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas on Christmas Eve. Due to the overwhelming current population of the earth, my contract was renegotiated by North American Fairies and Elves Local 209. As part of the new and better contract I also get longer breaks for milk and cookies sokeep that in mind. However, I'm certain that your children will be in good hands with your local replacement, who happens to be my third cousin, Bubba Claus. His side of the family is from the South Pole. He shares my goal of delivering toys to all the good boys and girls; however, there are a few differences between us. Differences such as:
1. There is no danger of the Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba Claus. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads: "These toys insured by Smith and Wesson." 2. Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers that children leave RC cola and pork rinds [or a moon pie] on the fireplace. And Bubba doesn't smoke a pipe. He dips a little snuff though, so please have an empty spit can handy. 3. Bubba Claus' sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flyin' coon dogs instead of reindeer. I made the mistake of loaning him a couple of my reindeer one time, and Blitzen's head now overlooks Bubba's freplace. 4. You won't hear "On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.." when Bubba Claus arrives. Instead, you'll hear, "On Earnhardt, on Andretti, on Elliott and Petty." 5. "Ho, Ho, Ho!" has been replaced by "Yee Haw!" And you also are likely to hear Bubba's elves respond, "I her'd dat!" 6. As required by Southern highway laws, Bubba Claus' sleigh does have a Yosemite Sam safety triangle on the back with the words "Back Off." 7. The usual Christmas movie classics such as "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life" will not be shown in your negotiated viewing area. Instead, you'll see "Boss Hogg Saves Christmas" and "Smokey and the Bandit IV" featuring Burt Reynolds as Bubba Claus and dozens of state patrol cars crashing into each other. And Finally,
8. Bubba Claus doesn't wear a belt. If I were you, I'd make sure you, the wife, and the kids turn the other way when he bends over to putpresents under the tree. Sincerely Yours, Santa Claus

Pet Peeve of the Day

I am driving to work, I am on loan to one of our offices in the caves, yes it is a real cave. I drive hiway now and it is very pretty. I had just come over the bridge and some jerkwad throws out their breakfast trash, complete sack, and wrappers from McDonald's. I am pretty sure when he got to work there were trash cans there to throw it in but no he had to trash my beautiful drive to work. Dont you wish there were big hands for something in the sky that came down and smacked someone when they did something like that and then threw the trash back in their car?

I had to go to DC last week and really did not have time to see much but the Air and Space Musuem is out the back door of my HDQ office so they have all the space stuff out right now and a cool display on the Wright Brothers and there is a new Native American Museum a couple blocks down the street, it is 4 floors and i did not get through one floor before they closed, something for next time.

Awaiting snow today, I dont do winter, may have to go home early if it starts sticking too much.
