I knew you would be THX. I was waiting to see which one of us was going to break and post it first. :chagrin:

I made it farther than I usually do. I still don't show any of my humbugness in front of the kid anyway. I live through her in that respect, but I know I wouldn't celebrate it if she weren't around.

I love xmas - I just hate not having the time/money to do it up the way I want to.

That makes me bah humbug.

Spent 5 hours with my MOTHER in a car last night driving around town looking at xmas lights. She likes to count inflatable grinches.

Sorry, Christmas has become a crock.

It's all about consumerism, gifts, lights, family fighting... Things that shouldn't matter.

Maybe it was always like that and I just didn't notice. I do know it's gotten worse....

Well, lights are pretty! Christmas trees smell good! Christmas carols are nice! And children's Christmas pageants are the best!

I'm all about the pretty lights, and snowmen.

They can keep the rest of it.

See my post above where I said I don't let the kid see my grinch side.

I find it kinda funny that my mom must feel comfortable enough to say she thinks it's a crock too. As she's dropping off 40 presents at my house so she doesn't have to do it on Christmas. I haven't bought one present yet. :eyeroll:

It wasn't always this way. I still enjoy the TV specials, the lights, trees etc. I just don't feel like putting all the effort into it is all. I even enjoy the family I guess. But that's always a hurry up and lets do this then this then this then bye. What happened to the napping? :chagrin:

Giving 2 week notices to employees. Especially at this time of year. :frown:

That sucks CM!!!! I know how that feels. unfortunately here there is no such thing as 2 weeks. :frown:

Clue Master

I'm giving the notices tonight and tomorrow for the last day on the 30th. It really sucks when you're forced to do this because of a union agreement that was voted on 4 years ago when most of my employees weren't even here to vote on it. And because you have to lay them off in order of seniority, you don't get to keep the ones you like to keep.

Im sorry. The timing makes it even worse.

Thanks PM - The only thing harder than laying someone off that didn't do anything to deserve it is confronting someone about their poor hygiene. Think about it. It's a pretty touchy subject and needs to be handled very carefully. Luckily I've only needed to do that twice and not for many years now.

could be worse. your ovaries could be reminding you they're not getting any younger, instead of everyone else.
