This is my first Christmas Eve after college... and it's different, to say the least. I no longer have the week to two weeks of entire freedom, mostly because the business world, especially in Finances tends to play outside of that ballpark. The world still turns, and as long as the (stock) markets, or the Federal Reserve (banks) is open, our company is open.
So this explains why I am writing to you from my office cubicle on the 6th floor of my company building at 215 Fremont St.
It's almost like the day after Thanksgiving, I was here super early (as usual), and was practically the last to leave, or if hours were counted, it was as though I worked a full day. The break, I suppose, was from all the people usually running around, chit-chatting to the point where there was little silence. Today, given that most people will leave in the next hour, I could potentially hear a pin drop, if I concentrated hard enough.
I have one more person to really shop for, and though it should also be the easiest, I am having a relatively tough time doing it. My father! I think I'm going to play it safe, and get him a couple of pairs of wool socks, because, first off, he doesn't own too many pairs, and second, he use to always complain of his socks NOT being thick enough. And I love wool socks, especially the ones from GAP, because they have the warmth coupled with comfort. So I may just opt for wool socks from GAP. Yes, that's what I am going to get. Perfect!
