Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Worker absenteeism for last night and today's showings of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is expected to cost NYC millions and U.S. employers $627-million, according to The Globe and Mail

That's hysterical. Also, they're pikers. I never missed work because of midnight LotR screenings.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I admit I had to take a vacation day to drive to Indy to watch the LotR Extended Marathon. But I never missed work on account of other midnight showings of Star Wars or LotR.

I just saw a huge possum out in backyard. I didn't think they should be out this time of day. should I be concerned?

I can't even.

They should invoice George. That can help the movie lose money, on paper.

That's hysterical. Also, they're pikers. I never missed work because of midnight LotR screenings.

Word. I'm at work today and functional. Okay, I thought it was Friday all morning, but still, I got here.

I'm still trying to make a Batman Begins viewing plan. I don't suppose that'll be having midnight screenings.

Art Crawl!!!

Cashmere - you didn't have to take time off to view the day-long lotr marathon?

Because, the Chicago one started late Tuesday morning and ending early Wednesday morning. I took Wednesday off too. This allowed me to see a regular showing of RotK Wednesday afternoon.

My husband's company is taking everybody to see the movie on company time. Wonder if that counts as absenteeism?

Yup. That's the vacation day I referred to. But I just took one day.

My husband's company is taking everybody to see the movie on company time.

That's the kind of company I would want to work for.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Those absenteeism numbers sound like complete horseshit.
