Giggle. When I was a surveyor, I had 4 weeks vacation, 2 weeks of sick days, and 5 personal days and fully funded health and life insurance. I worked for an American Division of a German company. Benefits were great but nothing like being the only women surveyor in a field that is overwhelmingly male let alone working for a Old World German company. Trade-offs.

I would have asked for a transfer to Germany

best hospital system in the country calls me and I'm not home :arghh: I don't know why they don't call my cell phone

I had to put up 2 wardrobes for my grandparents which took 6 hours, supposed to take 3 hours, so they say. No one know how long they will stay at their house so we didn't buy fancy wardrobes that came together. But there was no directions, only pictures. And a part which could had made everything easier but the directions didn't have the part so we didn't know what it was for.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I picked up Son #1 from school and took him for a haircut/beard trim this afternoon.

We had to wait while a lovely, little gray haired lady was getting her perm. The owner had her brand new 6-week old yorkie there, so between the puppy and the dear old gal, we were quite entertained.

As we were leaving, she asked, "Are you two kids married?"

We get in the car, and simultaneously exclaim, "As if ...", and "Like I couldn't do better".

I've had terrible luck with the prelit trees, but that seems to be all that is available up here.
Last year, I got a good pair of scissors, cut out all the lights, working or not, and just strung it with new store bought lights. I also took the opportunity to swap out from mini clear lights to slightly larger, green and pink lights.
It took a little getting used to, but basically I was happy.
Hubby loved it. Didn't really want me to take it down.

Overall, the theme of my tree is Victorian, in purple, rose and cream (I weeded out the dusty rose years ago), so it worked.

That's really very pretty and different with your Victorian theme. Mine isn't quite that creative; guess I stick with the traditional colors, more or less.

The past few years I've used the mini clear lights, and put a combination of solid red or gold bulbs around the branches. Santa (in a red velvet cape) goes on the top, and I have some transparent red draping ribbon swirled around the tree. Red tree skirt goes over the tree stand at the bottom. My tree doesn't get bought/put up, until the 2nd weekend of December.
