The party I went to on Saturday had a White Elephant exchange, but most of us missed the point and brought quite nice gifts. I ended up with a slightly older but still perfectly useful iPod alarm clock dock (that was after I swapped out the Mrs. Santa Claus cookie jar that I couldn't use since I don't eat cookies anymore). My contribution to the exchange was an ornament I had just finished cross-stitching the night before. Turns out my hostess was the one who drew my number, and she was able to add that ornament to the other two I had made for her Christmas gift.
I came home with my iPod dock, the leftover chocolate/peanut butter bark I had brought to the party, and the leftover lemon bars she had made. I'm bringing them into work tomorrow, and probably will continue to do so the rest of the week, at least.
There's a guy at work whose email signature contains a graphic of Santa body slamming a blue-garbed Santa into the ground. There is *no* way that's allowed by company branding guidelines.
Is the blue a competitor color? Or is this some kind of "War on Christmas" statement? Weird.
Man oh man, this is going to be a hard adjustment. She's not even out yet and I've been working all day and am getting antsy to go for a walk.
Regretsy had pictures of X-rated XXXmas ornaments. It was completely NSFW and even the glimpse I got probably risked Santa-themed PTSD.
He says it's Judo Santa beating up Fake Santa.
That's a thing? When did it become a thing?
And we're explicitly barred having images in our sigs. I just checked branding in case there was something I was missing.
But, hey, if upper management isn't saying anything, I got nothing.
But I want violent sigs, dammit!

Romney camp, failing to perform the common Google, uses "Keep America American" slogan previously used by the Know-Nothings and the KKK. [link]
Google would have fairly quickly offered up the Know-Nothings, as well as the fact that it was the slogan of one of the groups that worked to prevent Jewish immigration prior to WWII.
Ok, so both of my professions have naked calendars.
What the effing hell were they using a stupid-ass slogan like that for anyway??? Even completely free of any history, as if it had just been made up today, it's stupid and horrible. (I didn't click on the link; rage seems to surface way to easily lately, and I'm not feeling up to feeling anything other than mild amusement tonight.)
