Twas the day before (the day before) Christmas,
And all through the office,
Not a creature was stirring
Except all of us who are out of vacation time.

Actually, it's not as bad as all that.  Since our patients have needs that don't quit, much of the clinical and psycho/social/spiritual staff is here, as is a contingent of medical records people.  But most of the administrative staff?  Gone.

I'm off tomorrow, though, so that's a Good Thing, as Martha would say.

Had a great weekend.  I went to several parties, and met a few new people.  If I met you this weekend, don't hesitate to say "hi" in the comments section below.  We here at the Jack Daniel's distillery would like to thank Tim for all his ebullience this weekend.  It really helped our bottom line for 2002.

And then, I went over to see my friend David and spend some time with him and his cats.  I had a wonderful time there, too.  The makers of Benadryl would like thank David's cats for Tim's time at David's house.  They appreciate the business in this soft economy.

And then, time with my family.  My family is not so on the ball this year.  I myself was all smug with myself and shit because I'd done so much shopping earlier in the season.  I was so smug, I didn't do ANY shopping for three weeks, which put me in full freak out about noon on Friday.  I got a fair amount done, and I'm not doing anymore, because really, I'm over it.  The makers of Celexa would like to thank Tim and his family for their continued patronage.  In this economy, we're just glad people can still afford the stuff.

I don't know if I'm going to update over the holiday or not.  I'll be in Dallas but we all know that I update all the time no matter where I am, so that's no excuse.  I just might take a few days off.  But then again, maybe not.  Depends.  Depends undergarments have nothing whatsoever to do with Tim, but he took their sponsership anyway because the economy is screwy, and really, we can't be all picky and stuff about whose money we take, can we, really?  No.  So if you pee, pee in the best... Depends.

Merry Christmas!  Hope Santa comes to visit your house (you know... if you're into generous old fat men and all...)
