"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

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.

The fuck?

ita, we have a card that accumulates points that translate into cash, and we have a Discover card that lets you translate rewards into gift cards and the like. Discover is nice, because some options actually let you increase your money ($25 gets you a $30 Borders card), but the available merchants are kind of limited.

I don't care so much about the rewards, just the low APR.

Citi's been good to me too, I just cashed in some points for a $100 gift card for Bed Bath & Beyond.

Hopefully on saturday we will be the proud owners of a Kitchen Aid mixer!
