We had our company Christmas

We had our company Christmas party on Friday. It was a pot luck affair at Sara's but I think I liked it better than last year's fancier event. Our (well, Jennifer's) baked brie with pesto was voted as best dish which scored us $100. Since Friday we've been eating leftovers from the party. After a while, baked brie and shrimp get kinda old, too.

At the party we've learned that with the blessing of our board of directors our stock options got increased and we get to take the week of Christmas off!. That's three extra holidays than what we were supposed to get. This means that I'll have to use up some of my other vacation during this week. I'm sure it's going to be tough.

Over the weekend we managed to get all the Christmas gifts for my family together and Jennifer mailed them off today (she rules!) I doubt it'll make it to Switzerland by Christmas, but then my presents never do. I have several gifts on mail order and I'm dreading that they'll all arrive after I've left Austin. So far the only concrete thing I actually have in my possession is a stocking stuffer for Jennifer. Oh and I haven't even made the stockings yet.
