We are having our departmental holiday party today. Yes, it seems that our department chose to celebrate Groundhog’s Day instead of the more festive holidays of the year. I am sure that we will have a departmental luncheon this upcoming Flag Day as well. That seems to have the same amount of festive packed glee that Groundhog Day brings to the table. It turns out that our holiday party that was supposed to take place in December was usurped by a client appreciation dinner that was set up without looking at anyone’s schedule first. In doing this, the people at the top of the heap would have been going to the client appreciation thingy and not paying for our Holiday Party meal. Ergo rescheduling to Groundhog’s Day. It is a free lunch though, so I am not really complaining much.

I do heartily apologize for all this nonsense about nothing. I have found that when one has taken a math history class, one needs to inflict math history upon others once every few years. It was an oath we took at the end of the course. A blood oath. We all pricked our fingers with the point end of those compasses and shook on it. It was a very solemn affair.

Update: I just got back from lunch and lo and behold all access to blogger.com blogs has been axed. The surf Nazis at my work have struck again. My posting will probably become less frequent now. I am sorry to say. I am quite disheartened.

To recap:

Groundhog is just ground pork, right?

Again, I am throwing away someone else’s trash from the white elephant gift exchange

I do again sincerely apologize for all the math history foisted upon this blog in the past 2 days

I will attempt to keep my Monday – Thrusday posting ritual, but it may fall to the wayside.

Damn Internet surf Nazis!

Different than “Damn, Internet Smurf Nazis”
