Wow, that's too long to be alone if you ask me. Well, I guess you are now more comfortable with your lone company and probably your pet. You got one right?
Seriously, I don't understand how they get to defend these companies like their lives depends on it. When they are not even recognized by the so called companies.

It's sad that you have to spend Christmas all by yourself alone. If it were possible, I would have it arranged for a few of us here spend time together.
