Well, as you can see above me and Erin have decorated the living room. Took around 40 minutes of hard work with only one 25 minute break. The best part is if you look at the lower left end you'll see some beautiful yuletide statues. I took the time to shape and put them in the kiln. Erin then painted them. It was great. We found a perfect nook in the tree where Eli can perch without harm of falling out. He is really loving that tree and the Christmas experience he's having.
Whatever you do don't look too close at the frame of the picture over the fireplace. I'm ashamed I had anything to do with it!
It's company Christmas time! You know what that means....companies are paying for Christmas parties! Yeah! I actually love company Christmas parties. I've been blessed with cool bosses for me and my wife that care about their employees and throw good parties. I've had tons of fun.
I've been to two already and have my Dad's company party left. Here are some of the highlights so far.
1. Last year I gave a gift, it was a shirt that said "I heart Medicaid workers." It appears that the person who ended up with the gift was so upset that she didn't come to this years party. I don't know if I should be offended or honored by that. Honestly, who doesn't love me and what I do?
2. Someone brought and gave a live rabbit this year...I can't imagine how many health codes it breaks to bring animals into the hospital. The good news is that the person who "won" it screamed when she first opened the gift than was happy because she lives on a farm. It was a wonderful gift from the cosmos!
3. The other party I was at gave out two more live animals!
4. Watching the married girl uncomfortably hit on the single new guy. Really uncomfortable.
5. The other party gave out condoms and other "stimulants." This party was thrown by a bunch of therapists some of them which are sex therapists. It's a great and hilarious party.
6. Watching me and Erin clean up on the prizes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to give mine back cause we won so much.
7. Great food
8. Me and Josh wrote a letter from "headquarters" about how those who didn't get the H1N1 vaccine would have to cordoned off from the rest of us, made to be objects of curiosity for the vaccinated, herded in and out of the building by dogs and the physical facilities managers and have their wages garnished to pay for their upkeep. The best part was that some people took it seriously and were really offended.
9. I was really, really and I mean really tired yesterday. I got out of the shower and forgot to put on deodorant. It wasn't until the end of the party that I realized how bad I stunk (that room got so hot!). I had to go home and shower, wash my coat, now we have to wash the sheets, and I have to shower again. It was a living stink!
10. And the best part about Christmas parties is that there are more to come.
