I got my holiday schedule and noticed the plethora of days on which I had been scheduled to work. Including the entire week of Christmas. Sigh. I was initially grumpy and worried that it would be a hard week. I’d be alone in my house. Alone on Christmas. (Play violin music here). But several factors…

It’s snowing!
Well, folks, this bit of temporary coding magic might just be the only snow I get to see this year. I hope you enjoy it as well. Merry Christmas!
Hospitals Don’t Get Holidays
