I’m not sure why some offices bother staying open the week between Christmas and New Year’s. Mine, for instance. Most of my coworkers are on vacation or “working from home.” The other offices we do business with are closed this week so there’s no one to bother with last minute, inane requests.

I guess the upside is that there’s also no one around to bother me with last minute, inane requests (not that anyone ever does that here – no!). I have time to do all the non-urgent grunt work – ie, organizing my office – that I’ve been putting off for ages. Oh yeah, and I can blog to my heart’s content.

Speaking of blogging, is anyone else from Metblogs NYC out there? Yoohoo? Hello?

[Photo courtesy of Best-Horror-Movies.Com, still from 28 Days Later. Have you seen this movie? It's quite good. Not the Sandra Bullock vehicle, 28 Days, but 28 Days Later. It's kind of the scary flip side to Shaun of the Dead, also very good. Okay, how did this post turn into a soliloquy about British zombie flicks?]
