As today is the first day of winter, tomorrow is the first day of spring. Think about it - the days will only start to get longer from this point on! Yay!!!

Your safety is never as great as a paycheck, no matter how desperate you are. There are always other options.

I worked 30 days in a row in July and did so without much complaint. As I am nearing the completion of working nine days in a row as I switched over to a Monday - Friday schedule, I am struggling. The full-time salaried title has spoiled me. I'm sure as well it should - I deserve it.

It is a little disappointing when you don't get anything from your employees who put you through hell on a daily basis, but awesome when you get a gift of candy from a coworker. Though, I think my favorite is a simple Christmas card that pulled a heart string and my present from boss which was totally unexpected. But giving the gift cards I bought to my staff was my favorite, because it's the thought that counts and I could tell they liked it. Even if it was just a little.

Working in a museum, you get benefits. Being able to see (hopefully) Night at the Museum before it opens nationally is priceless. I've been waiting since June to see this - I'm sure I'll be able to relate on many, many levels.

If I don't get to this before, Happy Holidays to everyone who may come across this blog. The very best to you and yours. :-)
