What a Wonderful Christmas
It's been a wild and wonderful Christmas this year. It's amazing that all this has worked out so well. It's been one heck if a great Christmas. I got a few really nice things from the kids - visegrips, a tool belt, and some knee pads... and they got boatloads of goodies. I love this season!
It's always amazing and fun to spend some time off. I've had a lot of fun these past few days at home. I've been able to see lots of Trading Spaces on TLC on Christmas Day, and I've had a chance to look on the web for a nice plotting package for sherman on Mac OS X. I found pro Fit that looks to be a pretty good package for a reasonable price. I'm going to work with the trial version for a while and if it pans out I'll probably get it. It looks like a nice package with capabilities for both imported data and direct math functions. Could be really nice if I get a chance to port some of the simulations that I'd like to get ported. Looks very nice indeed.
It's been a really nice getting a break from the bloodbath at work. I've gotten word that management has come around after the bodies have been carried away and asked what they could offer us to make it a nicer place for us to work. They want us to know that they think we're important to them and their plans this year. Ummm... Duh! I'm glad that I don't have to be in there this week.
I've chatted with a few folks this week and it's incredibly empty there, and if you have to be there, at least it's a good time to do it as there's almost no chance that something will go bad. Then again, when I go back at the first of the year I'm sure they'll be thinking that things are all settled down and will be ready to get to work right away. So be it... that's then. But today, I'm enjoying the Season. Enjoying the well-deserved time-off. Tomorrow will come in the morning.
