"Random Thoughts...nothing Earth breaking..."

     So I'm sitting here at work "trying" to look busy.  We're so slow right now that I could just scream!  I've organized, straightened, and tidy'd up.  I guess the next thing will be to re-clean other areas at the store...sigh.  Anyway, quick vent:  My digital boss soooooo threw me under the fuckin' bus just a few minutes ago!  A co-worker asked

I'm for the fake tree mainly because the pagan hippie in me really dislikes the idea of cutting down a tree that's however-many-years-old and later just throwing it away. I think it would be better if it were used for firewood afterwards, but not everyone has a fireplace, obviously. That would seem to be a better use for it (and in my mind, more ritualistic and ceremonial) than dumping it in the garbage.

We also grew up using a fake tree, though mainly because my mother was absolutely convinced that a live tree would automatically mean that the house would burn down. Nevermind those circa 1965 big-ass colored lights that would burn you if you touched them and the wires that were patched in several different places with aging electrical tape... Ah, memories.

First things first: FUCK YOUR DIGITAL MANAGER!

That said, I reacted the same to taking the tree down. We did the fake tree mostly because I was too impatient to wait for a real one and I was worried about Gregor dragging it around the house. He's a strong one, that pug. We finally took the tree down Sunday. Two hours of wrapping, boxing and storing. Then I sat on the couch and pouted.
