Today was my last day of work before my Christmas vacation. Tomorrow I fly off into the "wild blue yonder" on my way to the States to visit family, friends, and my man!
All around, today was a lovely day. I finished up a project, made progress on another & handed it over to another developer, was able to painlessly exchange a shirt I bought on Saturday for one of a smaller size, and it was our Christmas party this evening.
The entire company went upstairs, had a delicious catered dinner, drank wine, chit chatted, and played Roulette. The top three winners after an hour of playing won nicer presents and the rest of us has to settle for Apple iPod Mini's. Big cheesy grin/happy girl squeal!
Yes, you read & see correctly, my company gave 14 of us Apple iPod Mini's for Christmas. The other 3 people - Stefan being one of them, lucky dog - won the Apple Photo iPod's. Mine was originally silver, but I exchanged it for Sandra's champagne colored one - I could have cared less & frankly, I like the champagne better than the silver. Then I saw that there was a green one and tried exchanging my new champagne colored iPod for it, but both people with green liked it better than the champagne. You know what? I don't care. I have a free Apple iPod Mini. All mine. 4GB of MP3 goodness. :-)
There are days that I truely love my company!
I'm charging/installing/downloading all my MP3's at this very moment. Can't wait to play with this puppy on the plane tomorrow!

Posted by: Brat at December 21, 2004 01:36 AMNot fair - you were suppose to tell me first! But, WOW, now what do I get for Christmas? Last year I had to go out and buy a 5 meg pix digital camera because it was better than yours! Gee Whiz! There is one thing that is good for you. I am more into TV than radio. Have fun with your iPod on the plane home. See you soon.
