Well here we are again either in anticipation of the office party or you may even already have the scars and hangover already. This week I would like you to tell me your favorite christmas party. Any gossip at them, who got off with who, you know the drill.
I ask because our one at our publishing party always has something going down (usually the mulled wine). One year I was in between 2 doctors (easy) doing the can can, I had my arms around their necks and had a bottle of bubbly in each hand. Fortunately the photographer was off somnewhere tasting the sherry, so no pics.
Also is what I would like to know is what others do and what lavishness and merriment they get up to, how big are the publisher parties? What happens to those people that work remotely do they crack open a turkey and eat it on their own?
What embarrasing moments have you had with your colleagues, anyone photocopied their bum yet?
I’m off to see a man about a dog now, so have fun.

Tis the season to cover leave
Well, it looks like swine flu has not taken our countries by storm as of yet. I hope you all have a business continuity plan in case it still comes about. Talking of sickness, it is the season for fun frivolity and sickness. Around this time of year many people go off for various reasons, and yes even the hangovers kick in.
How much sickness happens in your offices and how does the work get covered? I know last year I touched on cover at Christmas and the census was that the office closes down for the holiday period (sounds like a good plan to me). There are some that are beavering away in the office, which I can only assume they are catching up as no other soul is working, so there is no one to instant message, email, phone, twitter, blog...
ISMTE will be working hard in the new year to ramp up the resources area and will be working on the 2 conferences that are being held next year, one in the US and one in the UK again. I think our members will be pleasantly surprised with the amount of work on the resources that will be taken in 2010. Watch this space.
Anyway off for a mince pie and a glass of something or other.
