Only if the Illini win it all do I have a hope in hell of going anywhere with my bracket, but I heard an ex-player saying such jack-holey things on the news the other morning that I kind of want them to tank.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thanks for the thoughts, folks.
I'll just note, without further comment, that UNC vs. NC State is a plausible Elite 8 match, with the winner going up against Duke.
Talk about rivalry moments!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It was snowing a minute ago. I am DISGUSTED with March.

Ah, Christ. BigBoss sent out an e-mail saying that we're to treat Friday like a normal work day, even though it's a paid holiday. That's far more explicit than the one he sent a couple days ago. Bah.
And now suddenly hammered with work.
I call for a do-over.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
we're to treat Friday like a normal work day, even though it's a paid holiday.
Can you write back asking to clarify whether, as it is both a paid holiday and a work day, you will be paid for both the working and the holiday? Or would that lead to badness?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

You should get double-time pay for this.

You should get the paid holiday, plus time and a half for the time you actually spend at work. The paid holiday counts as part of a 40 hour work week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a financial question (the answer to shrift's financial issue is GET PAID) -- I'm looking to cancel one of my credit cards and get one with rewards. I'm assuming some rewards programs suck, and some rock. So even before I decide what sort of rewards I want -- I'm interested in knowing about other people's experiences.
Anyone out there?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I ended up with Citi rewards card by accident, and when I figured it all out, I had enough points to get a Gameboy with a bunch left over, so that was fun. But I really didn't set out to do any of this, so it's all been gravy.
