The food party was awesome, but until I get my camera back from Jim and Kristina's house, an update about it would be lacking in substance.
I got tapped to guest host Triviasco yesterday. None of you showed up, but you don't need to feel bad, because literally no one else did, either. Around 10:30, the manager told me that he'd cover my drinks thus far and I was free to go. The substitute bar tender does not make as good an old fashioned as the normal Wednesday night guy.
I'm at work. The decision to have us work on Christmas Eve seems questionable, but since the man responsible for the decision is far, far away from here, presumably gettin' his wassail on with friends and loved ones, there's no turning back now. The customers to whom I've spoken today express little empathy for my having to work, though they describe the fact that we're calling today as "just awful," "ridiculous," and "retarded." The one exception, noted above in the update title, seemed more than happy to discuss his accounts at length.
My drive to work today was spent listening to the MPR meteorologist telling listeners that any travel today would be best completed by 3pm. I'm off work in an hour with about 90 minutes of driving ahead.
On Dasher, on Dancer...
