Working in IT in 1999, one of my big goals was to get a new job before the end of the year, because my employer was requiring that everyone in IT work New Years' Eve. Which is OK, considering I worked at an oil refinery, so IT was pretty important. But it was for no extra pay or bonus, and they suggested we "potluck" our meal. This indication of cheapness was one of the big reasons I wanted to leave.

I did get a new job before the new year, and only had to come in for a few hours on New Year's day.

I was a retail department manager during that time. We sold a lot of flashlights, batteries and safes, like the world was really gonna end. 3...2...1.....PANicohwaitnothinghappened...

So, last minute today (as usual) I decided to go with Ms. Steele to Bahamas (Atlantis) for 4 days. Without children. Leaving in 36 hours. This may be the only time in my life that I literally have no work responsbilities, so what the hell.

I may be a terrible father, but I'm a damn good husband.

I learn more about Trent Steele every day

Tried to go to 4pm Mass... Got there at quarter of, there's no parking, drop off VoxJr and Vox's mom, go find parking three blocks away, carry BabyVox to the church.

Get in, it's standing room only, in the lobby. Vox's mom tried to make her way through the crowd(!), Vox reels her back in to the lobby. VoxJr can't handle crowds.

Five minutes in, Vox's mom announces that she can't stand all through Mass. So I trudge back to get my car, pick them up and now we're home.

I need food and drinks, now, but we have to finish cleaning...

Vox's mom just called my mom ugly, which was meant to be a compliment to my looks, but is funny, because my mom and I look A LOT alike. (No, not to my mom's face, she's not here...)

have the red hot chili peppers sued tommy sparks yet? they should

I'm too full to get drunk without a great deal of effort

You'd think fewer people would commit crimes around the holidays.

But who cares? It's time to GET CRUNK. Merry Christmas, BSG. I love you all.

I find It's A Wonderful Life to be shallow and pedantic.

hey guys, what's christmas?

Man I remember even just like 6-8 years ago I'd be so excited on Christmas Eve that I'd have trouble falling asleep, and on Christmas morning I'd get up at like 7 or 8. I'll be lucky to be up before 10 tomorrow.

It's a time where people cut down conifers, drag them into their houses, and embellish them with glittery stuff, lights, and other crap. Surprisingly, this is normally done while sober.

The day itself involves the presentation of gifts to loved ones and others to whom you have no desire to treat but to whom society dictates. Kids believe that their presents are made by a bunch of little people wearing green suits for a fat guy with white hair and biker's beard and not purchased at Target--despite the presence of such a tag. Fat dude supposedly delivers the presents via sleigh tugged by flying reindeer. Surprisingly, this explanation is normally delivered while sober.

The day itself commemorates the birth of a Jewish carpenter believed by (some of) those celebrating to have been the Messiah. The day also generally features a large meal and awkward conversation with family members. Alcohol is often consumed to lessen the awkwardness of the conversation and to ensure that no one remembers how you made an ass of yourself.

you mean the Ohio Players song that the Red Hot Chili Peppers covered?

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Even our resident atheist pastor.

I have very mature friends. I just received this text message a few minutes ago:
