Default PSA: Doing real work on the Friday before Xmas long weekend sucks!
Especially if the work is jammed down my throat, because:

- the requester refuses to follow proper procedures
- ignores the corporate mandated year-end freeze
- changes the scope of the project at literally the last minute with zero heads-up
- making me do the work because the guy that's supposed to do it is on vacation.

I am this close >< to going postal & killing somebody right now.
</rant>

Default How are car sales during Christmas? Do people actually buy cars as presents for other poeple or
is that just what those Lexus commercials would lead you to believe?

Congrats! But buying for yourself doesn't count unless you put a huge bow on it.

I'm sure Alex will take care of this for me as I'll be picking it up for my B-Day in March! ;-)

Default It's dead during Christmas, one thing is for sure ...
if someone comes in tomorrow is because they need a car.
