Things have been fairly calm lately, the year seems to be winding down pretty smoothly. And everyone is in a good mood. And all that makes me nervous. When things start going too well I'm always anxious and apprehensive that something is about to break or some emergency will present itself. Can't help it, I am a believer in Murphy's Law.

Those two weeks at the end of December are always so, so slow. It's nice that you can catch up on paperwork, but it's nearly impossible to be productive since no one can answer questions. Planning around it becomes a bit of a nightmare sometimes.

Quite a bit. Things got very busy for us!
