At last, I'm beginning to feel those first little tingles of Christmas cheer. Let's face it, it just hasn't felt like Christmas much yet - No amount of decorations or present buying can make up for that fact that it's just felt too mild to be the middle of December. Even the shops seem to have been late to get into the swing of things.
Anyway, despite all that, my calendar is telling me that yes, it really is almost December 25th, so the past couple of weekends have involved queuing for what seems like hours to buy wrapping paper (of which I now have enough to cover the Titanic), cards and other assorted gifts, while also biting fingernails and hoping beyond hope that anything I've ordered online arrives in time. Still, I'm now 95% of the way to being ready for the big day, so all is well.
On the down side of things, I'll actually be working all over Christmas in my increasingly frustrating and confusing 'real' job, public holidays aside, although hopefully just reduced hours with any luck. Things have actually been pretty busy on the work front, which has left me with less time to plough through the backlog of review work which still remains for Elite Bastards.
Improvements are afoot on this front however, as I've finally taken the plunge with regard to looking for additional reviewers to help both share the workload and expand the site further in 2007. I've had some pretty exciting offers in the few days since making a front page request for applicants, so I'm very hopeful that we can bring some more quality staff on board to drown you guys in a cornucopia of content next year.
It may only be a few days, but I'm really looking forward to taking a proper break over Christmas, this year's exertions are most definitely starting to catch up with me, and I'm feeling pretty burned out right now.
