First day back at work after Christmas vacation and managed to avoid all happy new year kisses :) Yay :) The trick is: just walk in and yell "Happy new year everyone" and go sit at your workspace :) It works :) Have to remember this for next year (and for tomorrow, cos a lot of people were not at work today, but they might be tomorrow).

Should have updated a while ago, but just couldn't be bothered. Just realised that although I have been living in this house for nearly 6 years, this is my first new year's eve here.
