Strike two figgy puddings.

We recently learned that first-year employees at G's new jobby-job do not receive any extended time off for the holidays. Never mind something like a vacation--dude won't even score a four-day weekend. He'll get 'the day' of the holiday off, and that's it. Which means, through no fault of our own, we are completely unable to go anywhere this year. It's logistically impossible. He'll barely have enough off-time to attend a celebration here; let alone time for trips out of town to visit relatives. It's not negotiable, we are powerless. We are forced to stay in New York and spend the holidays alone, or with friends.

I know. It's like...it's like winning the lottery and achieving inner peace all at once.

i have envy to a degree that is unhealthy. lucky, lucky people.

do remember this and then later, when his jobby-job starts giving him time off, remember that you have Set A Precedent and LIE. "i know... i know... can you believe it? ten years and he still doesn't get even christmas eve off... it stinks. well, love to all! okay, buh-bye!"
