Christmas Eve Discussion

Whee, Christmas Eve! It's that time of the year for last-minute shopping, tons of family visits, and of course, the sometimes-forced once-a-year trip to church at midnight.

Speaking of shopping, things have been so busy around here that I really haven't had the chance to partake in the yuletide tradition thus far. Now I get to participate in another--scouring retail shelves for the best gift I can find in X amount of hours.

Given the holiday, I'm not sure how much will be going on in the video game industry today, but we'll be keeping an eye on things. And don't forget that you can tip us off if you see something noteworthy, interesting, or downright silly.

      Twas the day before Christmas and all through this place
      Not a creature was stirring, not one of any race,
      With our lights turned on, PCs ready to go
      What the hell am I doing here? There's no users, you know.

      I have to go to work tonight... we'll see how many people call in for technical support. I'm going to laugh if another person calls in with errors on the Playboy Channel...

      The databases were running
      and clients were happy
      With their law firms all closed
      nothing could be crappy.

      But lo and behold,
      one attorney wasn't finished.
      He had time entry to do!
      Or on Monday be punished!

      His application had crashed,
      his server in shambles.
      So he called in to me,
      and to WebEx I scrambled!

      I typed and I researched,
      and what did I find?
      His raid aray crashed!
      And the client started crying!

      So I tried to calm him down,
      and we called his IT.
      They said wait till next Monday,
      Or perhaps mid January.

      With a sniffle and a tear,
      he ended the call.
      But not till I said:
      "Merry Christmas to you, and happy holidays to all!"
