    Finally finished everything I needed to do before the year's end today. Shutting it down now, though I will still be in the office tomorrow and Friday.

    Feels fantastic.

    Wow.......busiest time of the year for us, our end of fiscal year and companies want to buy now. Q4 and Q1 are our busiest times of the year by far and it's all hands on deck. When your a sales guy, you make $$$ while the sun is shining.

    It is completely different from my side. Clients are low on budget for 2012, so they are pushing everything till the start of 2013 with those nice, new big budgets.

    I work for emergency rooms and wrangle chickens... so I have to keep busy.

    On the other hand, K is laid off until Jan. 7th. (which also means I have to cook more and wash more dishes... lol)

    Our production line will be shutting down today around 7:00pm. I have to go in in the morning to oversee a small project and cut some old brackets off of a cracker gutting table. I should be headed to the house for a possible afternoon hunt around 10:00am. After running 7 days a week for 4 months (one reason I haven't been in the woods much) it feels good knowing there will be a shut down. I'll have to be back in on January 2nd. Man, what a relief!

    First time ever, I'll leave a 3:30pm Friday and have the whole next week off with pay. We return Monday(31) and then off the 1st... I should have saved a vacation day... but I had deer to kill. Only 8 of us are scheduled to work that day... should be gravy. :D
