so maybe the next new word might be celebutwat? We know where that’s going to point….
Check it out: Bob thought we needed some mistletoe – and he got some. And brought it in and hung and said he was expecting a BIG kiss under it.
Can you SEE how big this is here? Lordy.
Also, can you make out the alien down the hall?
Yes, I have to duck to get under it.
… and I still have a few things left to wrap. Christmas is so low key this year that it’s almost below the radar. Odd.
Here’s the KOL Christmas present:
You punch out a section of the Spooky Advent calendar. A Spooky Adventer is you!
You acquire an item: ancient unspeakable fruitcake*
Huh. Apparently, this section has two things in it. Curious…
You acquire an item: chocolate lump
* ancient unspeakable fruitcake
This is like a regular fruitcake, only really old, really dry, and consisting of eerily unidentifiable ingredients.
Actually, y’know, this is exactly like a regular fruitcake. My bad.

chocolate lump
This is a weird, irregularly-shaped lump of chocolate. It’s definitely a chocolate-covered something, but there’s really no telling what that something is.
Type: usable
Cannot be traded
Cannot be discarded

Chrismukkah
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Chrismukkah&defid=1353296
Mixed celebration of Hannukkah and Christmas for Christian/Jewish families. Originated from [The OC].
Happy Chrismukkah: Eight days of presents, followed by one day of many presents.
Okay, I have to relate this.
Bob picked up the phone from my desk and walked into the other room with it, talked for awhile, hung up, and just held on to the phone when he was done. We were just sitting there chatting and suddenly the phone pager went off, making us both jump.
Yes, the cat went into the office, got on my desk, climbed up to where the phone base was, and pushed the page button. I guess she didn’t like it leaving the room.
FYI, she listens to the messages, too. So far I don’t think she’s erased any but …
“Oh, gosh, I didn’t get your message! That damned cat must have erased it again!”
Yeah. That’s way better than The Dog Ate My Homework.
TopFive’s Happy Holidays Project is underway!

and there’s something in it for you as well!

I hab a code in my node. I swore I wasn’t going to get it when Bob brought it home. That’s what I get for swearing, I guess.
ON a positive note, I got the mail server moved to a different machine at work yesterday, and then got it upgraded to the latest greatest. It wasn’t too bad. I brought in somebody to help, primarily because I didn’t do any of the research one should do before one attempts something like this. Any problems we had were overcome, with one exception: the client on my workstation crashes each and every time I try to type in a subject or anything in the body. Not so useful as far as email goes that way.
My station was the guinea pig. I installed the unpatched client first. It crashed. I installed the patched client over it. Didn’t uninstall first, which was probably a big mistake that I’ll pay for until the next version. Sheesh.
I don’t really care, I can research it at my leisure and use the webmail as a workaround. If it was anyone else it would be a problem I’d have to address immediately.
