It was nice and quiet at work today. Sorta. There weren't a lot of guests, which is why we weren't busy, but Nephmesu is starting to be packed up for the final leg of his journey. And that means we need to be getting ready for him. So the managers and scientists were all in a bit of a frenzy making sure everything was perfect. Lots of nervous energy going around. Fortunately it didn't affect us in the registers so much.

I did remember to stop by HR to make sure I maintained my days off through Christmas week. They actually sounded relieved. They're probably getting a lot of requests for Christmas Eve and the day of off. So I'm sure my request to work on those days and take my normal days off makes thing easier on them. Sounds like it'll work out.

So while Hal joined me for lunch I confirmed with him my days off and texted Max. She didn't get to me till later, but both of them were happy with the twenty eighth. I did talk with Hal about what Sam had offered, and Hal admitted it was tempting to take him up on it, but he said I did the right thing. Made me feel better about that. I'll mention it to Max tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I know what she'll say.

I texted Sam before clocking back in that we were all good to go for the twenty eighth if he wanted to get tickets. When I got off, his message was waiting to say he'd take care of it. He said he'd confirm later once he had the tickets.

While Hal and I were having lunch though, we got to talking about how we both get off work at about the same time. He could give me a ride home, and I could use the free time that I normally have waiting on the bus to do something. He said it was a nice thought and he'd have to take me up on it. Just not tonight, I guess The Illuminati has plans for him. He mentioned something about Tim wanting his company at least. I hope they're not going to the tree, from what I hear the crows are still not letting anyone near it.
