Holiday parties
I feel like I just went through 3 holiday parties last week - or was it the week before where I work. Yesterday and today there were two more. I skipped the one yesterday as it was a holiday pot-luck and gift exchange. I didn’t bring a dish or a gift to give away. Instead, I had chinese at the food court within the hotel across the street.
Today, our group was treated out to lunch at the Bistro inside the Marriott hotel. It was a nice gathering and there was much to talk about. Topics ranged from the XBox 360, Star Wars, Harry Potter, spots on dishes, Christmas preparation, Sony’s Virus’s, cold fries, and the list goes on.
The day was dragging on as we did our work. We had a problem that didn’t make sense before lunch. After coming back, I tried something just for giggles and it worked. I’m still a little confused as to why it is working. As long as it works, we can go on to the next problem. My manager says that sometimes you need a break just so that you can get a fresh point of view when you get back. There is nothing more important then Lunch. The work will still be there when you get back.
