When he started reading Twilight.
Have got a day off today and had big plans on what to do of my housework/to do list ... and now I can?t get my ass up.
It?s all christmas fault. The weekend was just too long and too relaxing.
I was back at work yesturday already ... and will be tomorrow too. I?m not complaining ... I like working between the days (german expression for the time between christmas and new year, dunno if that works in english). Most people have holiday-leave and a lot of others have called in sick so it?s very quiet and realxing. I think I haven?t gotten as much work done as yesturday than any other day the whole year.I was back at work today :O
I'm in Barcelona and I can still keep up. Amateur.
I get more work done in the days between Xmas and New Year than I do any other time of the year. It's a novelty being able to start and finish something without interruption. And the bonus is most of the idiots are on leave, so they don't break stuff. I can actually spend time doing something other than fixing broken stuff.
I reckon we should do this 4 times a year (call it "Idiot Free Week"). All my not-screemingly-urgent stuff would be up to date then.

In the article, titled "Santa Claus: A Public Health Pariah?," Australian epidemiologist Nathan Grills meticulously lays out the reasons why Santa Claus is a terrible role model?a danger to children everywhere. [...]Here's the thing. The entire "study" was a joke. It was satire. You've heard of Christmas in July? Well, this was April Fool's Day in December.
"It's supposed to be spreading a bit of Christmas cheer," explains Grills. He wonders if the sense of humor was lost because maybe some of the reporters read the press release but never read the actual article.[...]
