my mom is very excited. she is planning a "mini" family reunion with some relatives who have flown in all the way from china. they'll be staying at my parents house. my uncle and his family are driving down from connecticut to meet these relatives for the first time i believe. we'll all be going out to lunch on saturday, and what better place to take them than hunan manor in burtonsville?

Guilt Trippin'

A little background in case anyone doesn't already know. There used to be five people in my group, the program manager, myself, two other programmers and one govie. The program manager and the two other programmers all jumped ship all within a couple of weeks of each other, leaving me to do somewhere between three and four people's worth of work. Our govie is not particularly useful. As you will note from the previous post, I've been sorta looking for a new job too. The other morning, I found this Christmas card along with a gift card on my desk from my new program manager:

Dan,

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Thanks for the hard work. You are the "glue" and I appreciate it, especially since you've stuck around. Things will turn around and there will be many new opportunities this New Year.

Nice, huh?
