Probably wont be doing much. I might go buy a new car battery. My car is sitting in a warm garage getting a charge because the battery died, but I'm positive the battery is dead, for good. The car needs to be out of there before the garage opens on Tuesday, so I may as well take advantage of it being in a warm place and install a new battery tomorrow.

I'll probably go to my parents' and eat some left overs too. We had LOT of food today.

Boxing day is Canadian.

It's a regular Monday for Americans. I'll be starting my new job.

It is a legal holiday in the U.S. this year.

We are having family over for a Hanukah celebration. Then my family and I are going out to celebrate my birthday.

Next year I'll probably end up working Christmas, that sucks, but the pay is equivalent to like a whole week's pay, apparently. I work in a NOC so it's 24/7 operation. If I can get night shift it's not too bad though, at least I could still visit family in the day, I'd just have to leave in the evening.

Today was crazy at work. Sold $16,000+ gross but because everything was discounted so much I made something like $27 commission. lol.

Well I was the appliance repair man today instead and fixed a friend's oven. They were told it needed a new circuit board to the tune of $350. The problem? Bad solder joints. 30 minutes and a little soldering later and it is back working just fine again.

Stupid ROHS lead-free solder. Hate that stuff.

Lay around in my boxers, with my Pug (close enough), watching Mohammed Ali's greatest hits, and eating a box of christmas candy. You?

The tags are a lie.

I didn't realize Monday was the makeup holiday since Christmas was Sunday. I work in the restaurant industry, and we were closed Sunday and open today.
