I'm glad you got your application in, it sounded too good not to give it a go, but of course you have so much on and I was concerned you might not have time.
Enjoy the party! I hope the quiz goes down well and the games aren't too dire.

Exactly that. You have to put your camera on 😬 and look suitably festive. Means I’ll have to put some make up on and I’m wearing a Christmas top. Last year some had alcoholic drinks. It’s going to be a long 2 hours 😬Scottiedog_3 said:How do virtual office parties work?

Good luck with the job SA and extra good luck with the virtual Christmas party. I also like the quizzes and hate the games.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Happy Tuesday. Another busy work day for me, no rest for the wicked as my mum used to say.
Just noticed the virtual office party is 3 hours not 2 😫 😴Not sure I can sit at my desk for 3 solid hours without a comfort break away from the screen - and a loo break.
The cord on the kitchen patio doors roller blind has snapped off so will have to work out how to fix it when I have time. Another thing on the endless to do list.
The Mr M shopping has been put away.

You mentioned on another thread about Mr SA doing POAs. They are really straight forward to do, fill in the forms on line so they are autochecked then print them off. They MAY be free for Mr SA depending on his financial circumstances, so sooner rather than later before someone decides to start charging for everyone!

Can't you offer to mind the phones for a bit, or something?Sun_Addict said:It’s going to be a long 2 hours 😬
Or have a break out room so you can chat to people you like.
Well done on your Duolingo result by the way! Well deserved, you seem to keep up your Spanish consistently. Did you see on the blog it's the second most studied language after English?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
