Socks is so amazing. He was out all night. He wasn't around when I initially called his this morning so I got everyone else fed. Sure enough, a few minutes later, there he was at the door ready to go into his house for warmth and treats.

Havamal 155.
This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.

Good AM work; workload almost full.
Good @ home for lunch; no sign of Stubby or Long-tail. Toby was glad to be outside. Essie was glad to be inside. Socks didn't get the option to come out from his house.
Good PM work; talked to the genral supervisor about possbily getting some tables in the shop for tomorrow's pot luck lunch. Is it “pot luck” when there are assigments?
*called HR to clarify Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Yep, 10 hrs. each, which flies in the face of scuttlebutt that said otherwise.
*offically able to work during the “shut-down” as I don't have either vacation or sick leave to cover it. That's okay, with the 20 hrs. holiday pay, plus three days of work, I'll clear 50 hrs for that pay week.

Stopped off at Dillons to grab my pot-luck “assignment” that being:

Nice welcoming committee when I got home; that being, Stubby and Long-tail. Socks was ready to come out. Essie insisted on coming out. Toby was ready for his walk but I had to squelch that for a bit.

The evening is just ZOOMING by anymore.

No TV at all tonight, not even news.

Since tomorrow is the “pot luck” lunch at work, since it's the last working day prior to the offical “shut-down”, and since I'm not working Friday overtime, I'm planning on having some fun!

Shower, bed, nighty-night.
