“The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.”

I must say, I can't complain about work at the current moment.  I am lucky to have my job with the economy the way it is.  So, the few of us left at my work decided to throw a little ugly Christmas sweater party at Stout in Midtown Manhattan (about 3 blocks from our office).  I have to say that although I didn't quite participate in the contest, I have to give props to the runner-up, Jessica (pictured solo here).  Jess is my co-worker who sits next to me at work.  She helps to make the day go by a bit faster!
