Why do I always think there's another week in December before Christmas?

Dec 9, 2012 10:41 PM

It seems to happen just about every year. I'm convinced I've got everything under control. Present shopping is going along okay. I'm well on my way to finalizing my holiday travel plans. I've got my holiday baking planned for a fairly calm weekend. And then I realize I'm out of fairly calm weekends! I've somehow misjudged the dates and I really have one less week (and, more importantly, one less weekend) before Christmas than I thought I had. I've got 27-bluezillion things yet to do and work wants me to actually do work while I'm there and if I don't get to the gym not only will I blow up like one of those cut out sugar cookies made from a recipe that's really better for drop cookies but I'll be even more stressed out and the First Lego League team that I coach actually qualified for regionals (which makes me both proud and horrified cause I figured our competition season would over after Saturday and life would calm down a bit) and AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Anyone else feeling like this?

Always this time of year. The last paycheck before the holidays seems to sneak up extra fast. I used to start with grand plans to do stuff early. Now I plan what I can cut off the list of stuff that is going to get done!

Yeah, I keep putting off the cards and then this week I realized, no, I need to get them done before the end of the week otherwise what is the point.

@inkycatz: There's something to be said for sending out New Years, Ephiphany or even Ground Hog Day cards...I know a family who does 4th of July cards rather than Christmas cards because life is just less crazy busy for them in the summer. It's a bit odd but it works and it's kinda cool to get "family update" cards in the middle of the summer.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
