Of course you don't, if you're not on salary.
OK, good call. I'll just be all "OMG!" in the morning.
Good luck, Heather!
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's just, do I respond to work emails on a day I'm not at work?
I think it depends on the nature of the email. If it can wait until you get back, I wouldn't.

My parents leave checks lying around for me to discover after they visit me. I got no hangups with giving money. That said, I don't do it unless I know the person is of a similar mind and I haven't found something really cool instead. I did give one friend a giftcard, since her wedding was a) out of the country, b) she had complained about figuring out how to schlep everything back and c) she likes shopping for powertools more than I do. I heard she bought a nailgun with it.
Especially for those of us who have to travel, I wish giftcards weren't as frowned on as they are by some in my extended family.

Well, they are increasingly frantic. They are also, OTOH, about a piece of paper my boss could just re-print from his own computer, as far as I can tell.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
do I respond to work emails on a day I'm not at work?
What is with you people? Of course you don't, if you're not on salary.
But, but, it's just sitting there, unanswered...
Sorry, I have issues.
We knew that though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congratulations and good luck, Heather!
tommyrot, I hope you're putting all this in an online dating site profile somewhere. It's gold!
Jesse, I say pretend you don't check that account when yo aren't there. Because I like to encourage not working whenever possible.

Compassionately intolerant
Someone may already have mentioned this, but at a few weddings I've attended, male wedding goers were provided with safety pins and expected to use them to attach folding money to the bride's dress during a dance with her.
It reaked so much of stripping, I had to leave the room.
Someone said I was being judgemental because the practice is 'cultural'. What culture is that?

I'll give gift cards at certain times. Christmas before youngest sister was moving to Virginia= Gift card for Target. Why on earth would I buy her something she's just going to have to pack?
Friend loses her job. Central Market gift card. She can get stuff as she needs it instead of a one time present.
Sister who is doing well with her acting and landed a job at a theater doing marketing. She gets Hindu finger puppets and a steak air freshener from Archie McPhee.
