This promises to be a quick post as the cold weather is playing havoc with my sinuses, and I'm waiting for the Nyquil to kick in, so I can do something resembling sleep. It usually takes a fortnight to a full month to know what you've gotten yourself into at a new post, and learned I have. Least learned that until after the New Year, life will be more interesting and arduous work-wise. The Holiday Party season has opened at the hotel I watch, and the other on site as well. Last night, they hosted five parties of varying size, and we spent the rest of the night dealing with people of varying intoxication. Tonight, the Mighty Mighty Microsoft is hosting the holiday party for one local division, meaning that 2000 overworked Microserfs will be let loose with access to open bars. "Bob" help us all. You should expect some philosophical reflections on alcohol on this blog shortly. Well, least things will be out of the ordinary for awhile.

Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts.
