Only a few more days of work until the holiday break…thank goodness.
Last night was Sylvain’s office party. It was a nice holiday dinner at Café Marcella in Los Gatos. In talking with his co-workers, it was a big thing to have it at Café Marcella, since the past few holiday dinners had been at Il Fornaio in Palo Alto. (I wouldn’t have minded a dinner in Palo Alto. Los Gatos is about an hour south of SF.) Dinner was okay, but dessert was the best. I had, “Blissâ€, a vanilla gelato with peanuts, toffee and chocolate & caramel sauces.
Our friend JeanClaude, the recent Kelley Business School grad, got the job he interviewed for last week. He starts his new job in January and is pretty happy, relieved, excited, all of the above to be ending his job hunt.
So, today at lunch I went to tour a new doggie day care center in Palo Alto, A Dog’s Life. I was pretty impressed with the facility (it was pretty large and there’s indoor and outdoor play) and the staff (they’re mostly certified dog trainers). In the summer months, they have swimming pools for the dogs to cool off. I scheduled an interview for January – so we’ll see how it goes…I don’t want to give up on K9 – 5 just yet.
…Sigh, this time next week I’ll be in Paris. Where did this year go? How did the holidays sneak up so quickly?
