It's officially beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially since I went to the fiance's company Christmas party last night. It was a good time, good food and free drinks all night, but is it required that company events taking place outside of work be very socially awkward? Anyway, compared to what my company does for the holidays - a $10 gift card and an obligation to donate money to a charity - it was a great spread. I am hungover and my brain feels like it's swollen, which is always a sign of a good time.

Speaking of Christmas, I can't wait until it's over. Bah humbug to this time of year, when it becomes necessary to wish goodwill on people you really don't care for, and buy them presents, to boot. I'm poor. My outgo far outweighs my income, and I am paying for it this month (pun intended). Maybe I'll ask for my very own accountant this year.
