Our first corporate Holiday party was last evening at Macungie hotspot Savory Grille. On top of being a chance to see colleagues outside of work and catch up with some 3PL folks who I've worked with this fall, it was a heck of a nice meal. Jenelle had filet and crab legs, I had Cornish hen. Both were tremendous and both were followed by an exceptionally creme-y creme brulee.
Meeting spouses was also nice - so much so that we joined some of them down the hill at the Inn at Bear Creek. It was slammed, half with Knoll people from random departments and half with red-cheeked skiers and boarders coming in from the slopes. A band was on and we talked about this and that with lots of people. It was really quite fun.
Now we're down to the last few hours in PA before heading back to Michigan for the holidays. Working in a company with strong ties to West Michigan means that lots of people know exactly where we're headed and a few are headed in that direction themselves. Most are cynical about the snow but I'm looking forward to it... 3 inches of hardpack crusted with 1/2" of ice just isn't as holiday-spirited as a foot of fresh. We're supposed to get more while we're there, which would make me happy.
