Bah. I'm not getting any LJ notifies and LJ has dorked at least one of my icons, replacing it with two bald strangers hugging each other. I deleted it. Is anyone else having trouble?

Humbug. I don't rate an invitation to the office Christmas party though contractors directly paid by the company do.

Greg isn't getting that trip to Germany either, at least this year. Surprise, surprise. He's going to Singapore for 10 days next week instead to do the work there. I'd go too and spend some time in Malaysia but the notice is too short to get off work and the person I work most with is away in the UK for 5 weeks starting about that time. Sigh. I'm just hoping for a holiday up north early next year as we totally missed out this year.

Oh, well. The sun is shining outside. It's so beautiful, I'll have to resist the lure of my book and go for a walk at lunchtime.

Ah, I see! I should not assume that everyone's reaction to parties, especially the works party, is "how do I get out of it?"....

My boss is a gourmet. We get a full sit-down dinner at a leading restaurant; the food is always delicious. And if I manage to sit next to the right dinner companions, the conversation is also excellent. If I don't, then the conversation is boring leading to overindulgently tipsy... which is why I try to sit next to my favourite people. But it would be nicer if I had a friend of my own too.
