Here I am. Happy Friday! Just to catch up: last weekend was fun (Chanticleer concert at George Mason, holiday party in Suffolk, Gay Men’s Chorus concert back in D.C.); check out the recap on Thom’s blog. This past week has been hectic at work; not only did our department have a deadline to meet, but also the whole company has been in the process of moving to a new building, which is why I’ve had little energy to write lately. The new building isn’t far from the old location, just a few blocks away and even closer to the Metro station and the cluster of restaurants and stores on the west side of Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda. However, I will miss having my own office, a corner one at that. It’s back to cubicle-dom in the new space; at least I know I’m assigned one with a window.
Yesterday was our last day in the old building and we had our company holiday party, dubbed “Festivus,” à la Seinfeld, including feats of strength and a Festivus pole. And some other things, like karaoke, which made it actually kind of fun. Today we have a day off from work while the movers do their thing. I’ve just been puttering around the house, along with Thom, who hasn’t been feeling well and called in sick. Oh, and Alex is taking it easy, too.
