Holiday boredom

Well for those who know me... I'm an associate employee of NOAA at AOML. Of course this
means I'm stuck at work with limited days as actual holidays. But for those who know.... this is the time of year when all the federal employees have start burning their use-or-lose vacation time. Federal employees can only carry over a certain amount of hours from one year to the next, all those extra hours are there for lost, as a result.... from about December 1st to January 8th this place is like a ghost town. At last count there are 7 people in my wing of the building which is composed of HRD. So while everyone is vacationing... I'm sitting here rather bored... don't get me wrong, I get a lot of work done this time of year... but I like to see people every now and then. oh well back to my work......
