December 22

The Janitor Christmas party had a 'Christmas morning' theme. Which meant everyone attends in pajamas and eats breakfast foods. The party began at 6:30pm, which is about the time I wake. I received two Pez dispensers, a digital birthday candle and a reindeer pen in the gift exchange. The housing department gifted each of us with a stapled-together stocking filled with gummy bears, pretzels, a glow-in-the-dark neon bracelet and a can of applesauce.

Today is our seventh working day in a row (we typically have a day off every six days but the schedule is all out of whack due to Christmas), we were rewarded with an extra 15 minutes during both of our longer breaks.

We spent a good bit of time scrubbing grease from the heavy shop's walls in preparation for the upcoming campus-wide Christmas party.

At the mailroom, I received 4 letters and a package. I received a new camera from Alex and will again be able to photograph and post pictures of my going-ons.
