"The Final Countdown" (remember that song, by Europe?)

Well, we're getting down to the wire.  All orders for Christmas must be in our customer's hands by the week's end.  *sigh*  It ain't easy, folks.  Not with orders that came in late, orders that got there early...and wrong, and orders that just don't cooperate.  I ran hard from the time I got there until the time I left...harder than usual.  The phone is ringing off the hook with just "1 more little request" (yes sir, that's the 25th one I've had this morning...go ahead?)

OK, no more bitching about work.  By Friday, the phone will almost stop ringing all together.  I'll sleep in late on Saturday, and have a grand ol' time lying around on the couch, thankyouverymuch.  I have a 4 day weekend for sure, and possibly a 5 day weekend.  I need it.  I need to get together with friends for drinks (wink wink, Russ and Sim) and I need to watch movies and eat too much.

I am getting through this.  I got a gift from a customer today.  It's called "a Taste of Texas"  and has a trio of goodies.  Honey Toasted Pecans, Chocolate Amaretto Pecans, and Roasted Salted Pecans.  Kevin and the kids have declared it a good gift!  It's nice to be loved and appreciated for the hoops that I jump through.

4 days to go, and only 3 of them will be hellish.  WooooHoooo!

That does sound like a good gift.  Every year I get a basket from 'Harry & David' that has fruit and goodies.  I forget every year so it's always a surprise.
