Half-Day Holiday

It's a half-day today, not officially, and we came in only to go home at noon. For those living nearby it's great. For those of us commuting the long hauls, we can soon spend the afternoon in the holiday traffic. Still, it's better than spending the evening in the holiday traffic.

The new Vice President went back to his vacation, having fired Dan the Hyper-Active Boss Man yesterday. Only about half of us were here to find out about it. We're all walking around quiet and tense. Well, it will be time to leave soon. There won't be a lot of tears for Dan; he earned that disrepect the last two months. But he hadn't done a bad job, either, so people areworried about what's the new criteria for keeping their jobs. It'll be interesting to see what happens when everyone comes back after the holidays.
