once a year

Today is one of those days where you just know I'm not going to get much done.

The school that we rent our space from has an annual Christmas banquet and variety show type of thing. And they use our space for it. (In return, we get to share in a really tasty Chinese food banquet!)

They are very friendly, and the skits are always funny. Since most of the students are international students, some without any Christmas tradition in their culture, it is always a bit humorous to see their take on Canadian Christmas themes. They work in Santa and reindeer, but for some reason Elvis always appears at some point. I'm not sure how he fits in, but there he is.

Anyhow, I run sound for them, and even if I wasn't, my office is directly off the stage. How do you focus on work when Elvis and Santa are conversing just outside your door?

Breaking news - while typing this, I got a volunteer to run sound! Yay! Now...where in the building can I go to escape Elvis for a few hours?
