Holiday break

With the university trying to make its books look better than they are by removing one-time liabilities before year end (because that will fix the structural deficit...), I've been forced to take the three days of holidays I've accrued starting tomorrow. 

I expect I'll pop in at least once during the holiday break: December 28 is when the government likes to quietly release the years occupational fatality numbers. Until then, I'll leave with a pretty picture and this poignant skit, where Santa makes the North Pole a right-to-work state.
