We get Monday for Columbus Day.

I get every Monday off! And every Friday!

It's the best thing ever.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Kristen sucks.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Paul is burning up some flex time, so he has today and Monday off.

Thus far, I have slept and had a breakfast that was actually cooked instead of grabbed randomly from a box.

The book's called Godel's Proof.

Emily, would (if it could be found) it make a good Christmas gift for someone exceedingly mathy, or is it geared more for the layperson?

I was raised in the country and knew lots of kids who did 4-H, raising calves and such for their yearly projects. Everyone knew that Bossy was going to be steak in the fall, but that didn't stop Bossy getting hugs and treats. I'm always sadistically amused when people finally understand where their hamburger comes from.

That's how you get the good jobs in LA.

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

I'm not amused, so much as startled. I need to get over being surprised. I just don't see the abstraction myself.

Even city kids learn this pretty early on, don't they? I mean, eating "chicken" and "fish" pretty much gave it away to me that meaty things came from animals.

No, I rule!

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

Even city kids learn this pretty early on, don't they? I mean, eating "chicken" and "fish" pretty much gave it away to me that meaty things came from animals.

But you're not confronted with the physical reality of it if you're a typical city kid. Or so I'd guess.
