Yes, it is, Sal. Looking forward to seeing more of your wisdom, sagacity and common sense. Don't over indulge during the holidays. LOL
I've been over indulging for weeks now... I have never seen so much food in a work place in my life...we have a chef program and they have to practice... 8O...I am hoping they let us stay home tomorrow...but it isn't likely so there will be more food. :lol:

Last week my promotion was approved by the big cheeses in corporate. I was interviewed internally a few months ago, but then there was a head count freeze while we try to return more money at the end of the year to the business. New job starting 01Jan2014, no more on-call, and another double digit raise. Pretty nice Christmas present! :D

Definitely. Already have big assignments for next year. We've been spending a lot of money running trials at third party organizations. One of my objectives is to develop an in-house model that will save us roughly $150,000-200,000 from our spend.8O
