The Office Christmas Party

This morning was the office Christmas party.  We had yummy food and our Nisse was revealed.  Clyde and I had the advantage because no one knew we participated too, except for our Nisse.  She wanted us to have some authentic tastes of Denmark.  She is going to give me a copy of her walnut candy recipe.  Bo was surprised that we were his Nisse.  He loved everything we gave him.  The funniest one was Jeppe's.  It was things like scan this to find out where your present is and his computer station was toilet papered.  It had to be a very tech savvy person but it was not.  Leisl enlisted the help of some other people to do her incredibly elaborate searches.  The look on everyone but especially Jeppe's face was priceless.  Anni (who looks like Vicki Grindstaff's twin sister) does the restoration of the books.  Someone sent her some emergency pages that took her 2 days to restore and find out it was a prank.  I never did figure out who her nisse was.  We were also given a beautiful book of Copenhagen. It will proudly sit on coffee table forever more.

We received our first shuttle back and it was an Italian shuttle.  We ran out of room on our hard drive and had to transfer files.  We left at noon today because there wasn't any sense in sitting around watching the very slow process of it downloading.  Jeppe and Frederick came in to see if they could help us.  If it had been the right shuttle, life would have been wonderful but it wasn't.  And guess what - no one knows what to do because this has never happened before.  Leave it to us.  We tried to call our supervisor but we kept getting this weird ring.  Turned out he was in the Chunnel on his way to France and there is no reception there.  We were afraid our  long distance had but shut down.  There has been a threat of that happening.  It would be one thing if we made long distance calls for personal use but we do not.

Downtown Fredericksburg - a little city that makes up Copenhagen.  This is where we go to pay our internet bill.  It is not too far from the Copenhagen temple.

This is some of the older buildings in Fredericksburg.  Some of them date from the 1700's.

Another few of some buildings.  We plan on going to the Thorvaldsen museum and the Frue Kirke - so see the Christus and the 12 Apostles - providing they are open.  Christmas holidays start today and will go on until Jan 3.  We have to go to work on Monday because we have to get a shuttle out and turn the computer off.
