Welcome!
Hello and welcome! Friend me and I'll be happy to friend you back!
After many years in the military, I am poking a toe outside the fannish closet. I work for the feds these days so I am still pretty much a closeted fan.

Christmas, bah, humbug
A normal workplace would have a Christmas lunch or dinner for the employees. A couple of hours out of our lives, over and done with. Not us. No, the boss decreed that we had to put on 12 days of entertainment from Dec. 4th to 19th.
