"...rocking the Christmas Jumper look..."? Ah, had to resort to Google -> Amazon. Not quite the same, but here in the States, many offices -- including the one where I work -- have an Ugly Sweater competition as part of Holiday celebration traditions. Last year's winner was truly hideous. It will take quite a spectacle to top it. I shudder in anticipation.
It's been an interesting two weeks. Two days at $CUSTOMER_A's local data center (250 miles / 400 km from home). Three days at $CUSTOMER_B (75 miles / 125 km from $CUSTOMER_A). Return home for the weekend. Two days at $CUSTOMER_A's DR data center in $YET_ANOTHER_US_STATE, about 400 miles / 650 km from home. Drive through horrendous snowstorm Tuesday evening, back to $CUSTOMER_B, where I was scheduled to spend the rest of the week -- but we've come to a stopping point making work after mid-day today not possible, so I'll be heading home a day early -- after only another 250 miles / 400 km of driving. For those of you keeping score at home, total miles on the hired car will be a little over 1600 miles / 2600 km. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
Life otherwise proceeds apace. $SPOUSE has thoughtfully provided a Christmas shopping list, with web links and SKU/product numbers. A fruitful session on Amazon and other sources has caused several packages to start wending their way to $HOME, hopefully in time for the mad scramble of wrapping paper ripping in ten days time.
It has been announced the dress code for the day (12/25) is relaxed, centered around PJs and/or sweats and slippers. This seems reasonable to me. I'm responsible for providing the bananas for banana bread, but have no other food responsibilities for the day. Yet. We shall see how long that lasts.
And now, off to $CUSTOMER_B to wrap up this week's work. Happy Thursday, all. |
