Company Party 2008
by Ranil on Dec.12, 2008, under Life in Los Angeles, Work
With the holidays around the corner I made my way to the Marriot hotel to celebrate my companies annual christmas party. This is my last Christmas party with my company and so I decided to make the most of this event to mingle and talk to all my coworkers who made my time at the company worthwhile. The highlight of the day proved to be the after party drinks that I had with a few co-workers at Nick and Stef’s.
2008 Beginning Spectacular

2007 ended with quite a whirlwind of things… For those of you that don’t know, I decided to lease a new car and do away with sven (my old volvo s60). Sven has now been replaced Izzie a 2008 Lexus IS 250. Yes yes.. i’m bragging a bit.. but come on now.. I can’t be happy for myself? I got a new laptop.. Jane to replace the broken and sadly forgotten Giskard.. And a new cubicle at work… That part I’m not too happy about, mostly due to the location and design of the cubicles the programmers have been shifted to. But we can’t complain… it has made the programmers bond a little more.. even if we are being sorta treated like secretaries..
I made no resolutions for 2008, mostly because I know I will break them.. but I am hoping for a more interesting, productive year. The “Pimped Out Cubicle” contest at work is over but still awaiting a winner.. some interesting things were done in order to make peoples work lives a lot better.. and a lot of money being spent on fancy keyboards and some fancy mice.
Good times I say.. Well.. I’m done with the first addition to the blog for 2008. I sincerely hope I get around to updating this thing more this year than I did last, and hopefully with things relevant and more interesting.
