I now get a lovely 2 weeks (and the weekend following, naturally) off. First time I've had more than a week without checking in/being in at work in ages. (I think it was slightly more than a week when I went to Boston last summer, but not by much.)
- I have come home with a small candleholder, and the most garlicky bagels ever in existence (our gift from our division head, who is New York Jewish and believes firmly in the need for good bagels.) You could smell them from 10 feet outside the office door when they were in the back office with me. (A good 20+ feet)
- Earlier this week, I opened a gift from one of my homeroom advisees, to discover this year's World of Warcraft calendar. (He's also a gamer. I'm trying to decide where to hang it, but I'm delighted.)
- Tonight, I need to eventually work on cleaning. And tomorrow, I need to do some errands, prep for ritual in the evening, and cook.
- Sunday, I am being a citizen judge for the debate tournament [school] runs every year - public forum format uses non-debate-trained judges, and I'll be there for 3-4 rounds in the morning. Then I'm taking myself off to a Solstice party.
- The answer to the question 'what work appropriate gift do you give people at work when you are Pagan, and want to give them something they'll use, but that is relevant to multiple religious traditions' is, in my case, to give them beeswax star-shaped candles. (from http://www.etsy.com/shop/madchandler, though she's taking a break until New Year's). They got lovely compliments, btw. I put them in little green bags with a tied on tag and a few cinnamon sticks, so that the wrapping is reusable, and the cinnamon is for both the scent and a well-being and prosperity aid. People seemed to like them.
