Just another day in Paradise

Today is the company Christmas party. This is probably only the second time I've ever looked forward to the party. The thing about Christmas parties is that you should really show up with a date or significant other. Besides last year, I had only taken a date to the company party one other time - and it was nearly a disaster. Every other year it was just me in that same old suit and tie, all alone and feeling out of place amongst the couples in the room. About all I did was get drunk and make passes at my single female co-workers back in those days. I don't miss that one bit.

I finally got the correct docking station for my laptop that features audio and DVI out on the dock. I'm still not entirely sure I understand what the hell the old docking station was supposed to accomplish - 4 USB plugs, Network and a VGA out. That's it! No sound, lock, Parallel, Serial or even a power adapter (I had to buy that myself!). Gay, Lenovo. Gay.

I'm trying to work from home today. Hard to do with all the domestic related chores I would rather be doing at this moment. Oh well. Such is the nature of being a "desk jockey" (as my friend Nate puts it).
