Maybe we drink into a slap-happy slumber and temporarilly forget
about possible job endings with the new year (been hearing a LOT of

Indeed... I was out of work at the holidays in 1999, 2000 and 2002...
(with different jobs in-between each) ...for me, Xmas is a day to
celebrate being employed (whenever possible).

Merry Newtonsday, Christmas, Midwinter, Winter Solstice, Yule or whatever
else yuu celebrate to all mambers of this list and their families. May

I'll be spending 25/12/05 with a soldering iron in one hand and a probe
in the other, as usual.
