meri kurisumasu

Yup, that's right. Merry Christmas for those of you that speak Japanese. And if you don't, Merry Christmas.

A couple days early, but I'll be busy over the next few days. Lots of families to see, lots of presents to give. I think as I got older, I really appreciated gift giving more. It's fun to give someone something that makes them go nuts with happiness. I also am very glad we did all of our shopping in November. I stopped at a couple stores this week for normal things and crappidy crap, it was an all out crap storm in these places. And of course, all out crap storms bring out the idiots. The world is full of them, and they bother you when you're in the rushiest of moods.

After the holiday, things will pick up at work. I have my year end review, and fresh off that, I need to start aggresively pursuing a career path. I've got two similar areas I'm debating over, and a third they want me to go to where I'd be content, but not too happy. Unless someone can show me why door #3 would make me happy, I'll continue ignoring it like that old lady ignored a very recognizable Jordan Knight on Identity (that show is actually better than I thought, but Penn Jillette needs to be more like...well, Penn Jillette. Not nearly cynical enough). After that, right after the new year, I travel to VA to fill in at a community. This should give me a huge boost at work, since they always like people who get community experience. And from the way it sounds, this should be somewhat of a breeze. The only downside is our Microsoft DST training is while I'm away, so I'll have to re-schedule mine for a later date. Bummer.

I've determined I need to set an Outlook reminder to get my haircut. Today, they must've cut nearly 3 pounds of hair off my head.

Can I get anymore random than I have been? Yes.

Some of my current too-funny-for-what-they-really-are catchphrases:
"Swiper, No Swiping"
"My head! My Butt! My Head! My Butt!"
"I have a big head, and little arms"
" As ranking #2, I am starting a committee to determine the validity of the two committees, and I am the sole member. The committee will act on this now."
"They have to check your shoes for explosives in them. It's happened. . Hey Earl, throw your shoes and you get to go to the front of the line."
