Company Christmas Party

December 14th, 2005

Today is the company Christmas Party. I went to work a little earlier than I would normally because I got up early. I got ready and packed my stuff and then headed out.

At around one in the afternoon lunch was served. By that time I had one of my bus completed and out of the way. We had lasagna, pasta, garlic bread and some chicken wings. It was good food. I was full after my meal.

Roger and I went to play some Ping Pong while everyone finished eats. Then we had a Christmas Present exchange. All the gifts were purchased by the company and a number was drawn for who got to go first. But what would happen is that if someone wanted your gift they could take it or get one from under the tree.

On my turn I picked out a gift that had three flashlights. It was pretty cool considering some people got candles and book ends. So I was pretty happy. But Andrew was after me. He was going to take my gift and everyone started to laugh because earlier I talked about how I would cry if someone took my gift.

He ended up not taking it and he got some gift he did not really want. Some people were able to trade with the gifts that were left under the tree if they got a gift that did not fit with the person. So Andrew had two choices I told him about one gift I almost took because it had the “feel” of a tool, some sort of manly-gift. He took my advise and took it. He tore a big part out of it and the expression on his face of defeat and disbelief was priceless. He turned to the rest of the people and showed a cat calendar and appointment book. Everyone started to laugh so hard. It was great. I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard.

After we were done with the exchange I had some cheesecake then went back to my cube and got ready to head to Colfax. It was going to be a bit of a trip and I was starting out later than I had wanted to.

When I got to Colfax I went to the Sheriff’s Office to work on printing out my pictures from my last two cases and writing up reports on them. It took a long to print all the pictures and to write up what I needed to write up. I left everything for Pete and went to my house. I watched some TV for a bit before I went off to bed.
