Chestnuts roasting on a Friday fire…

Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

It’s Friday, my friends. I’m tired, and I don’t feel like writing too much today. I do want to thank you all for stopping by this week. We had 169 visits yesterday, and numbers like that keep me going. So please continue to spread the word and make the Gazette a part of your weekday routine. Oh, and enjoy the four fun Friday things I have included below!

I do want to share a quote from an e-mail I got today. I work for a company hereby known at American Money Team, and our big holiday shindig is coming up. We each get three drink tickets. Alcoholic drinks, mind you! So of course, here is the stern warning to avoid any significant fun following the consumption of said beverages:
On occasion, overindulgence may lead an individual to exercise poor judgment. This could include engaging in conduct that may be viewed by others as offensive, unprofessional, inappropriate or unwelcome. Please remember that the company’s policies with regard to comments, jokes, remarks, innuendo, unwelcome touching and other behavior considered inappropriate as a matter of company policy apply in the context of a work party as well as in the office. The spirit of the season should not lead any employee to believe that the general rules of decorum and respect for co-workers do not apply. Failure to adhere to company policy, even in the context of a work party, may result in disciplinary action.

It’s official, there is no such thing as adulthood. All those things we were told as children about freedom and consequences and personal responsibility? Those were all lies. We’re all still in pre-school, where even parties occur under the cumulonimbus cloud of “disciplinary action.” Way to kill my buzz, AMT.
