Decorating...
I love Christmas decorations. I'm not that keen on the actual decorating, but I love them when they are up. Normally I get our trees (yes, we put up 2) up Thanksgiving weekend, but this year I got a nasty flu-like bug that zapped the life out of me on Friday. Frankly, I just couldn't get my ass off the couch to do it. I'm just to the point that I can start thinking about it again.
I didn't get a flu shot yet this year. They gave them at work, but I missed them. With channels of communication available like email, the intranet, hell - even the phone, the company decided it was the BEST idea to just run off little flyers and place them in the stairwells and on the main building doors on the morning of the shots.
Of all the days for a gentleman to step up and hold open the door for me, that was not a good day. We chatted as he pushed open the door, his hand conveniently covering up the flyer. I went to my first floor office and promptly began my morning, not venturing forth until nearly noon, when I discovered the flyers. They organized the shot giving alphabetically by last name and I should have gone between 8:00 and 8:30.
Here I was - unprotected and vulnerable in a sea of immunized co-workers. I felt naked and alone.
And now? My Christmas decorations are late. The injustices of the world never end.

I'm with you on the Christmas decorations. I LOVE them once they're up, but the putting them up is the problem for me. I'd almost be willing to pay someone to do it. My tree is still not up, and I'm not sure it's going to make it out of the closet this year.
