Or, fill-in-the-blanks.

Self-disclosure: I celebrate Christmas, have not been designated as invaluable (clearly a management oversight), am losing some annual leave due to poor planning. I am also finishing up a project, again, due to poor planning. But I’m off the rest of the week so look out TV remote, because you are going to get a workout. I don’t plan to waste this holiday season!

The good news is that rush hour traffic, at least in parts of the D.C. area, is usually light in the week before Christmas. So if you had to (or chose to) come into work today, wave to your fellow commuters.

Whether you are working or resting, happy holidays. Stay safe. Have as much fun as legally possible. See you in the New Year.
