Office Parties - The Timing is Never Great, But It's Always a Joy to Celebrate Life Beyond Work

I like not to be a Grinch, Scrooge, or curmudgeon during the holiday season, but the grumpiness snuck up on me this week, so when I got the alert that there was a GSEAP holiday celebration to attend, I grunted, looked at my laptop, and said, "I'm not going. I have too much to do."

Lucky for me I have a laptop, however, that chooses when and when not to work and at that very moment, she decided not to work and froze. I said, "uck it," and I headed to meet my colleagues at their retreat. I have to say, too, that I'm fortunate. Although it was an open bar for wine and beer drinkers, my boss nodded to the bartender that it was okay to add an Old Fashion to the tab.

I ended up staying a little while as I hate chicken wings that made me break out in a sweat and other fried food that gave me a stomach ache. What's a party without eating the types of food that you avoid the rest of the year. It's good to have such gluttony and cheese sticks after a day's work.

I am awaking today with a huge plan to accomplish miracles - the first being to get on top of the Work Day craziness of the University's new accounting system so that the $$$ on my credit card can get reimbursed (it's ridiculous. We've covered that territory before). It'd be nice to know this money was coming back my way soon.

And then there's the grading. There is much to grade. I send love, hugs, support and gratitude for all my colleagues across the nation who are in the same space.

We got this!

  3. My Mark McDaniel from Ohio USA, I'm married and blessed with 2 kids (male). Myself and my wife provides for our kids and make sure they are happy. One weekend while I was home, I noticed my first son rude behavior. I talked to him to change his sudden behavior yet to no avail. I became so worried then I searched online for every possible help I could get. A saw a comment of someone parent who had similar experience then I talked to them via email.
    They told me about DR Odinani Owell the great spell caster helped them change the life of their kids too who became so rude all of a sudden. They give me DR Odinani Owelle the great spell email then I wrote to him, telling him about my son sudden behaviour.
    DR Odinani Owelle the great spell caster gave me his words that in 2 weeks time, my son is gonna be back to his normal behaviour. Dr Odinani Owell the great spell caster asked me to make purchase of certain items which I did and the item we so cheap. I had doubt in myself that how can such little items bring back my son to his normal self until the fifth day of the second week.
    My son woke up in the morning, came to my room, began to apologies for his sudden behaviour. My heart was filled with laughter and smile arouse my face. I embraced him and I told him I've forgiven him.
    To others out there, don't keep your problems to yourself. Share it with a friend or search for possible solutions online. You too can write to Dr Odinani Owelle the great spell caster if you've any problem,,,,,,,, Here's he's email odinanisolutioncentre@gmail.com or odinanisolutioncentre1@gmail.com

  6. I never believed in love prayer or magic until i met this (powerful Pastor Ikaken) once when i went to Africa in February this year on a business summit. I meant a man who’s name is (Pastor Ikaken) he is really powerful and could help (Pastor Ikaken) to bring back one’s gone, lost, misbehaving lover and magic money prayers or for a good job or luck prayer.I’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 3 years. I really loved him, but his mother was against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this (Pastor Ikaken), i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At first i was undecided, skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. And in 7 days when i returned to Los Angeles, my boyfriend (now husband) called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I didn’t believe it cos the pastor. ikaken only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and our lives became much better. His email is( pastor.ikaken@yahoo.com . You can write him of whatsapp+233596908113

  9. Omg I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542
