Post-Christmas, with really none of that what-it's-over-already sadness. It's nice and quiet at work, which is the saving grace of having to be at work. Next year I'm taking Christmas to New Year's off. No more of this using all my vacation days to go on stressful job interviews. Begone, ye job interview.

To answer the rote post-Christmas questions: it was quite nice, and I got lots of nice presents. The marathon of running between NJ and NY was a bit tiring, but when no one's around to see how late you come to work in the morning, it really works out okay. I'm looking now at a rhinestoney little turtle with green eyes sparkling on my finger and, altogether, I got so many wonderful things.
