Well it seems like every year around this time I get an urge to start this blog thing and every year after I do my one paragraph thing I forget about it until next year. Something about the end of the year makes me want to collect my thoughts and reflect about what has been going on..... I will probably forget about this tomorrow but for now, here we go.
Last night I attended my annual office Christmas party and it drained me. I was so bored I really thought about getting a drink to help the time fly by. Not saying I am an alcoholic and drinking is one of my vices (because I'm not and it isn't) but at the office party I really try not to drink for fear of my mouth. Yes I am one of those drinkers. I throw caution out the window tell how the cow ate the cabbage and peoples feelings be damned. Wait I do that when I am sober too so...... Hmmm? Well it really doesn't matter what I do when I drink because I never remember anyway. Wait a minuite, maybey that's..... Naaa!
Back to last nights Christmas snorefest. The previous years I have gone have been good ones, meaning they actually held my attention and played decent music. The only reason I went was because of threat of death by my boss because I was receiving a plaque for having put up with every ones crap for 5 years. I on the other hand would have rather had the cash for the plaque that had my name misspelled on it (who the hell spells Tania like Tanie? Honestly?) than another thing for me to have to dust. I know, I know, how ungrateful; it was the thought that counted. Well all I can say is they should have thought harder. And another thing, My boss who threatened me with death and hell fire to go didn't even show up, talk about do as I say not as I do.
After they handed out the plaques they had the drawing of the door prizes. And in years past they have been pretty decent prizes like flat screen TVs, nice tools, visa cards, etc. This year most of the people instead of groaning because they didn't win the prize they wanted were sighing in relief for not winning the prize that was called. I mean who wanted a 52oz Bucees cup or a #1 cobmo for Rusty Rooster really? Well I know who didn't want it but still got it, this girl. I had the privilege of winning the #1 combo (I really wanted that tye-die Bucees cup damn it!) so guess what I am bringing as the covered dish to the department Christmas party next week?
While killing time I had a good time chit-chating with my fellow new and old employees and their spouses. Our group is a tight one and is one that I can really appreciate. Sure they may be time when we want to slap or drown each other until almost dead but all in all we got each others back and that is what really matters. It was fun hanging out with all of them and blowing off some steam, we really should do that more often. I learned one of our new guys is an author and is thinking about writing his second book (had no idea). I had the privilege of laughing in ones face for dropping her phone in the toilet last night (we have all been there). And really enjoyed talking with the big bosses wife and catching up with everyone in general.
Speaking of the big bosses wife, she was the one who got me thinking about blogging again. Basically she said "you should have a blog or something" because (for lack of exactly remembering what she said) I have something, don't know what it is but I have it and should explore it. So here I sit exploring possibilities and trying to figure out exactly where I fit in and what to do with it all. I know one thing I have already decided to do in the coming year, i guess you could call it a new years resolution of sorts. I vow to become more creative. I am really missing a creative outlet and have been craving one for some time. So I will be doing one creative art thing a month and if i create more than that then that will only add to the awesomeness of it all.
