There is nothing that depresses one in quite the same way as the week before Christmas... It just feels like it is the longest week that ever existed. It's ONLY Wednesday, and Friday evening just feels like an eternity away. Maybe depress is the wrong word here... maybe just never-ending anticipation, coupled with the fact that you have to work 6 times harder this week just to get caught up enough to take a couple of extra days off.
It's 4pm here... I'm waiting for Internet Explorer 7 on windows 2008 server to finish logging into our "single-sign-on" solution at HEI. Going on 4 minutes now. All I want to do is test to see if Firefox and IE look the same when I get logged in, then I can commit the code to this subversion branch and start working on something else... but my mind isn't really into it (can you tell, I'm writing a blog entry)
All I can think about it sleeping in at Max and Norma's place in Minnesota Saturday morning... anticipating the inevitable overeating of cookies and over drinking of cheap red wine. Of Katie May waking up way past the crack of noon, grumpy and disoriented. Of Max, trying so hard to keep the cats out of the kitchen. Norma singing Christmas carols until we're all sick of them. And the snow.
We don't get snow here in Portland, and I wouldn't say that I'm complaining. However, it just doesn't feel like Christmas.
Ah, it finally logged into the site. I guess I'll get back to work.
