[Cadaverous Pallor]

Pastries in a pile in our office. Now I want chorizo. It's the LoT Effect.

A couple of staff are already on vacation. Next week,though, is where you learn who can afford vacations and who needs to make up lost hours due to closures.

Myself, I'll be here on the 24th in the morning to bring in the bookdrop (someone has to do it, and I'd rather do it over Xmas than other holidays), and back at work on the 26th and 27th.

The whole month has been dead and I can't wait for the hustle and bustle of January 2nd.
