work work work..

the boss was out on vacation last week.. so of course, it meant more work for all. had to write double the amount of regular reports so that the bloke could stay up to speed when he got back. but i did get a taste of upper-level management, and it tasted good i must say.. want some more of that definitely..

and now this week he's back, and spending all the time catching up on what he missed.. so much happens in a couple of days here at the plant that when you get back it's quite unnerving, you wonder if you were away a few days or a few months!

in other news, we had the office Christmas party last Saturday at the nearby Marriott.. that wasn't too bad at all, good food, good dancing and a good time overall. it was pretty interesting to see the other halves (and in most cases, the better halves) of some of the guys i work with..
