Boxing Day

Tagged:

So it’s Boxing Day except it’s not Boxing Day because this day is a public holiday that is only celebrated by the British Commonwealth. Americans have not understood that after the exhaustion that is Christmas, we need another day off. I should make it my life’s work to bring this glorious public holiday to this so-called land of the free.

I am back at work today; 26th of December 2007. This is a new thing for me because my Decembers are usually spent on school holidays or forced annual leave. Never had I ever had to go straight back to work.

You know what? It’s kind of nice because the office is empty and I’m getting lots of work done without people pestering me about deadlines, dependencies and the veritable minotaur’s maze that is our company org chart. Today, it’s not my problem. I have my work to do and it’s getting done and by 5:30pm today it will be did.

Damsel In Digress

i yearn for boxing day. every year, my calendar boasts of this boxing day taking place in canada and britain and i? want to be involved.

i also had to come into the office yesterday. straight from my trip home, luggage and homemade food in a million bags in tow. and you’re right. the silence? was absolutely satisfying.

merry belated christmas, jack :)

Merry Christmas to you too, Damsel.

I suddenly remembered yesterday that I can greet people with a cheeky “bah humbug!” during this season of giving.

We have the same birthday? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jack! May the new year bring you lots of happiness.
