Good Morning!

Well, I finally uploaded an image that Robert sent to me from Faire. It was fun, and I think the photo captures just how young, beautiful and exciting we all are (smile).

Our company dinner was great last night, even though it took everyone at least an hour to get there. I am convinced that traffic has gotten exponentially worse over the last year than it ever was before. I mean, I think we can all take it for granted that traffic will always get worse around here (or anywhere, for that matter), but it's not happing a bit at a time. It's happening in great big leaps and bounds. We went from Santa Clara to Menlo Park last night. According to yahoo, it was a 15 mile drive and should have taken half an hour. I don't know how many miles we drove, but it took almost 2 HOURS!! Not driving was only slightly less stressful than driving. It took me a long time to relax once we got to the restaurant. Like I said, though, it was really nice once we got there, quiet, restful and I realized (again) just how cool my coworkers are.

And this morning I'm trying not to utter the familiar holiday refrain, "I can't get sick now, I have too much to do!!" That's right, I woke up with a sore throat this morning and it's not gone yet. I hope it's just a passing thing, 'cause dammit, I really have too much to do before I go Home next week.

Ohmygod, it's next week! Dammit. So much for the Christmas spirit :)

Here's to a happy and healthy holiday season (cough sniffle cough)
