Just checked with HR on the number of vacation days I have left for the year. I thought I had 2. Turns out I have 5 1/2. Coolness! I also have 1 1/2 personal days. Woot!

Oh, I have tons of vacation left, and a floating holiday, but it's really mostly because I don't think I've submitted a time sheet in six months. Oops.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm trying to find cheap tix to go home for my mom's 50th. I really wanted her to come here, but it looks like she's wiggled out of it.

But this means spending xmas alone, too. And that always makes me blue.

ETA: Which isn't a desperate request to spend an awkward holiday with anyone's family.

I'm not really sure how I feel about goat cheese either, I haven't really eaten it much.

MmmmmMMMMMMmmmm, goat cheese...

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Like on the 3rd?

Hmmm. That might be problematic - it's Em's birthday party. Maybe a dinnery thing? I'd suggest the 4th, but I know you teach that morning.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

MmmmmMMMMMMmmmm, goat cheese...

I second that. I love goat cheese. I had a wild mushroom and chevre omelet on Sunday that was really yummy.

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

It must be too soon for her to have a birthday party. You should check the calendar.

Early dinner on the 4th should work...

Huh? Em can't be a year old. She was just born.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I do not get Friday off, and am not taking it off since we'll be in town for Thanksgiving.(first time in a number of years for me) G does get the day as a holiday, which he needs. (He was at work until after 10 pm last night. That's not right)

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

it is soon enough, since I got her a remarkably cute present. (which of course I won't mail in time for her actual birthday)
