Not too many people showed up for work today. Those that did must be taking advantage of the after Christmas Sales.

I can't believe I forgot Festivus. Funny that the year end review took place the same day.
As for the Packers/Bears game, I shut it off when the kicked the field goal to go up 17-10. By going for it on 4th and 1 and converting to a new set of downs at the 7 I would expect a touchdown. As soon as the passes fell incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, FG, I knew the game was lost.
The Marquette/NC State game was entertaining to watch. Clutch 3 point with .4 seconds left. Somehow they converted the inbound and turn around at the top of the key just a couple of seconds late. Big road win as they will probably get destroyed against the Big East foes.

It sure was a challenge bringing in my cupcakes and rice krispy treats for the pot luck at work. Twice I took a spill with the tray and wouldn't have brought them in if I fell a third time, because chances are I would have had a broken arm. Just a brutal walk with the ice and snow.

Sometimes you just figure no one has a clue how quality work would save time rather than just sending it and making corrections after the fact. My suggestion is to get rid of those people.

A difficult game to watch last night. Sure Marquette hung around for most of the game at Tennessee, but the fouls were too much to overcome. Matthews was a scoring machine, the rest of the team was not, and it seemed every possession the refs found something to blow the whistle for. No flow, no size match up and a road environment to contribute to pulling of an upset. We'll wait for the Big East teams to pick apart this NIT bound team.

Tough loss in the final minutes of another close game for the Packers. Too bad the season is over. Marquette did take down Wisconsin Saturday, so at least one good win this weekend. An "easy cupcake" and then a tough road test down in Tennessee.

I wonder what Y-23685 is like.
No chance at the playoffs this year. The Packers will be off in January, since they lost to Carolina when they should have won. I'm not sure the defense bothered showing up in the last 2 minutes as it took Carolina less than 10 seconds to move the length of the field. Nice chance to win the game at the goal line, but rather kick the FG?!?
Certainly doesn't feel like December. More like September.
