I hear you. My paycheck was barely in my account before I started sending it out to others. But Xmas is paid for, so that's a good trade-off in my opinion.

It's still snowing here. Can't see a big difference from last night to this morning but I believe it's because it is so windy. There must be snow drifts out there that are several feet high.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201217/37fafaecc90237e34f4f1bbfaec278bf.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201217/f398e6b168fec2ad631bddad834060ff.jpg)

Good morning guys. I lucked out with the snow 2.5 at airport but 34 inches well south. Commute to work was a slow go still

We maybe got 1-2 inches. Not even enough to cover the streets in most places.

Good morning, SlowGoRick. Frost on the car this morning, but that's the extent of our wintry weather so far.

That sounds like fun. Hoping to find my tobacco and join you one day soon.

Been just told that we're getting the three days after Christmas off from work as a thank you for the great job we did this year. They are officially closing the doors to the virtual office. That puts me in a bit of a precarious position since I don't get paid for those 3 days AND I promised clients we would be delivering on those days and now we won't be.

In other words a three-day layoff for you. "Thanks for the great job, now GFY!"

I saw it that way but I hate that I'm so cynical. It's great for the staff.

Meanwhile we added three days of vacation to everyone's acct so all next week is paid time off. That photo I have of the HR director with a sheep has really paid off.

So you can't still work and get paid?

Sure, save the vaca days for another time, but that is not a popular option.

Seems they are closing the "virtual office" so nobody can work, but likely I don't understand the mysterious machinations of an intergovernmental organization.

We have what's called shut down days. We get 3 every Christmas. Group that with the holidays and some vacation days,See you next year. As I'm essential personel and I have seniority. I plan this off every year. We haven't had a raise in 5 years but the time off can't be matched any where else.

I actually took a two year hiatus from pipes. I'm working through some great tobaccos and a recent order. I have quite the collection. I can post some pictures over the next few weeks. If it's no interest I will refrain.

I don't know, I get 29 vacation days a year, which is going to 31 next year, with an extra holiday added in. I think we do pretty well here. ;)

Today is Thursday, Dec. 17, the 352nd day of 2020.
There are 14 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, conducted the first successful manned powered-airplane flights near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, using their experimental craft, the Wright Flyer.
On this date:
In 1777, France recognized American independence.
In 1933, in the inaugural NFL championship football game, the Chicago Bears defeated the New York Giants, 23-21, at Wrigley Field.
In 1938, German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann discovered nuclear fission by splitting the nuclei of uranium into lighter elements.
In 1944, the U.S. War Department announced it was ending its policy of excluding people of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast.
In 1975, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme was sentenced in Sacramento, Calif. to life in prison for her attempt on the life of President Gerald R. Ford. (She was paroled in Aug. 2009.)
In 1979, Arthur McDuffie, a Black insurance executive, was fatally injured after leading police on a chase with his motorcycle in Miami. (Four white police officers accused of beating McDuffie were later acquitted, sparking riots.)
In 1989, the animated TV series “The Simpsons” premiered on Fox with a Christmas-themed episode.
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO’-nee) and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari (sah-LEE’-nuhs deh gohr-TAHR’-ee) signed the North American Free Trade Agreement in separate ceremonies. (After President Donald Trump demanded a new deal, the three countries signed a replacement agreement in 2018.)
In 2001, Marines raised the Stars and Stripes over the long-abandoned American Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.
In 2007, Gov. Jon S. Corzine (KOHR’-zyn) signed a measure making New Jersey the first state to abolish the death penalty in more than 40 years.
In 2011, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il died after more than a decade of iron rule; he was 69, according to official records, but some reports indicated he was 70.
In 2014, the United States and Cuba restored diplomatic relations, sweeping away one of the last vestiges of the Cold War.

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama signed into law a huge, holiday-season tax bill extending cuts for all Americans, saluting a new spirit of political compromise as Republicans applauded and liberals seethed. Federal prosecutors reached a settlement with the estate of Florida philanthropist Jeffry Picower in which his widow, Barbara, agreed to return $7.2 billion that her husband had reaped from Bernard Madoff’s giant Ponzi scheme. Don Van Vliet, a musician and artist who’d performed a complex brand of experimental rock under the name Captain Beefheart, died in Arcata, California, at age 69. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees was voted the 2010 Male Athlete of the Year by members of The Associated Press.
Five years ago: Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged that he sometimes used a personal, unsecured email account to conduct official business after he took office, a practice he called “entirely my mistake.” Representatives of Libya’s s two rival factions signed a U.N.-brokered deal to form a unity government.
One year ago: Joe Biden released a doctor’s report saying that the 77-year-old former vice president was “healthy, vigorous” and “fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.” A federal judge in Washington sentenced former Trump campaign official Rick Gates to 45 days in jail despite what she said was “extraordinary” cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe and other Justice Department investigations; Gates had pleaded guilty to charges related to political consulting work he did in Ukraine.

Packs of 10
Only cigar i ever returned to CI
I feel like that's one of the 2 Gurks I've smoked in my life, and they'll be the last 2. Can't remember what the other one was.
Was one of those Gurkhas the knife they gave you at CigarFest? Because those don't smoke well.

Don't want to take the cigar in there and make the bathroom smell any worse than it normally would.

I was trying to get the shoveling done before the sun went down. FAILED! At least it's done and the Mrs' car is dug out. Now I've gotta get back to work.
