Corporate Holiday Party

everyday life 1 Minute

We had it on Friday, December 13. And nobody was afraid of it :). The only bad thing for me was that I was so tired, I didn’t even sty till the official end time.

We had it in Apogee rooftop bar. Granted. the food and drinks in zBar will always taste better for me, true or not :), but the views are unbeatable!

The also have an open fire outside:

I was slightly concerned that I didn’t have a new Christmas dress – for many years I am getting it in Finland. This year I traveled a little bit earlier in season, and there were no Christmas dresses there yet.

Fortunately, when I started to go through my closet I found a beautiful top which I bought last year but didn’t wear – I got a lace dress later. I combined this top with a very old, but still pretty long skirt, and everybody was telling me I look fabulous 🙂

I am taking it :). My only disappointment was that when they started to serve desserts, they didn’t have any hot drinks – no coffee, no hot tea! I even went to the bar to ask – no! What’s good is in deserts, when there is no coffee?!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
