<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
As you probably all noticed, my menu was very late coming out
yesterday. I sent it in plenty of time, but it got lost in the ozone
somewhere, so by the time it showed up it was a listing of what we <u>had</u>
for lunch, not what we were going to have. I felt somewhat better
after I found out that plenty of other people were having trouble
getting their emails to go through. (Misery loves company, you know.)
I just hope today's makes it through before lunch is history.<br>
<br>
I hope all you employees are planning on attending the Employee Potluck
Christmas Dinner today in the Ballroom. It will start at 11:30 and
conclude at 1:00. It will be a come and go event, with drawings for
door prizes throughout the meal, Christmas music, and lots of great
food to sample and friends to visit with. It's always nice to attend
these events, since there are a lot of people on campus and most of us
just see the same few almost all the time. This way we get to see
friends we don't get to see that often and catch up on things. The
Staff Council wants to send a great big thank you out to Sally, Liz,
Dana and all their helpers who decorated for the Sapphire Ball, since
they were nice enough to leave all the beautiful decorations up for us
to use for this dinner and it looks lovely. <br>
<br>
You'd better be getting ready for cold weather and possibly snow to be
arriving later today. I'm glad the storm that came through last night
made it while it was still warm enough for it to fall as rain and not
as snow or ice!<br>
<br>
Don't forget to attend the retirement party for EOSC head of security
Blaine Villines tomorrow in the President's Dining room between 2:00
and 4:00. We haven't been able to talk him out of leaving us, so we
may as well give him a big send off and make the best of it. <br>
