handwritten threats, stained with a kiss of lipstick

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate!

As usual for someone whose job is affected by the holidays, I'm pretty relieved it's over. It's just exhausting, and somehow, I'm always too busy to really get into the season. I don't even bother decorating these days.

But I got a nice, unexpected Christmas present this year. My job does random drawings weekly during the season, as a way to encourage people to not call out. If you have perfect attendance that week, you're entered to win one of the prizes. On Monday, a few of us were talking about the prizes and I was saying that there wasn't anything I really wanted, except maybe a TV.  I didn't really need one, but mine is in my bedroom. I have a small, old one in the living room, the kind that doesn't have internet. Since I don't have cable and rabbit ears don't work where I live, all it's good for is watching DVDs, so I said it would be nice to have a TV for the living room. On Tuesday, which was my day off, my name was called for a 65". So yesterday on Christmas Eve, I came home with a new TV. Merry Christmas to me! It was just so weird and funny how I was talking about it the day before, and then I won it the next day.
