And thus begins my last week of work for the year.

This is a full week of work for me and it's one of those weeks where everyone will want something done by me. I will try my best to accomodate them but I make no promises since I'll be off from work next week, enjoying Christmas with my family.

And by enjoying Christmas, I mean sleeping late, eating everything that is put in front of me and driving my wife crazy by watching at least 10 hours of the 24 hour marathon of "A Christmas Story" on TBS.

Like I said, it's good to have goals.

Another thing that will be taking place this week is my attempt to complete my Christmas shopping before Christmas. That means I don't have a lot of time to type this drivel.
