Found out at work that the rumors--and what we all thought of as a joke--are true. Every year we have 2 Christmas parties--one in the office where we each bring a dish and exchange gifts w/ our pre-determined secret Santas, and another where Boss takes us all out for lunch and 'fun'. (Two years ago it was Dave & Buster's; last year it was St. Louis Mills for lunch, mini golf, and mucho alcohol.) Well THIS year, he has decided to take the entire office (all 9 of us) to Las Vegas for the weekend. Yes, that's right, I said LAS VEGAS. I'm not quite sure how to react. Got to talk to Christy tonight for 45 minutes--we're both in the same position, at least job & money wise. It was great talking to her; I miss that girl so much. She's supposed to come home at some point over XMas Break, but she's just not sure when yet. Plus, it depends on her financial situation at the time, and how much commission she earns at her job. Which is totally understandable. Told her about Vegas, and she's only 6 hours away; I suggested her and my hubby split a hotel room so we can all hang out together while I'm down there w/ the office. She seemed really into it and is going to start checking into it, comparing prices, etc. While she can't commit to anything right now (due to financial restrictions), she seems like she's into it. Which is very, very cool. The two (well, 3 counting Dustin) of us unleashed on Vegas? Viva Las Vegas!
