Don't forget to factor in that the Swiss are all armed with rifles!
Nonsense! They carry Swiss Army knives! Big ones! The Tick would never lie.

I have decided to give notice at my hated job on Thursday. YAY!
Woo-hoo! Congratulations.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You should still give them two weeks, but I don't see anything wrong with coming to a mutually-agreeable agreement once you've done so.
Yeah, I'm hoping to offer two weeks and have that not be necessary.
If I'm remembering, you never have to give two week's notice. It's just polite. How hated is hated?
Well, I don't want him to hate me after. So we'll see. I want to quit now!! But I'm waiting until after my meeting with the other job people on Wednesday, just to be on the safe side.

I still think tommyrot should just be put in charge of all programming at the Sci Fi channel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tommy can only be in charge if he guarantee's Colin's show a) success b) well, success, really.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Nonsense! They carry Swiss Army knives! Big ones! The Tick would never lie.
But Steph, the Swiss Industrial Spies' actions in no way reflect those of the government of Switzerland.

Here's the book I'm currently reading:
I think it's pretty good. I was looking for something about cosmology that deals with accelerating expansion of the Universe and this really doesn't hit that mark, but is still pretty interesting. I had covered a lot of the quantum stuff back in college in a lot more detail, but I forget just how weird it is.

Congrats, Jesse! Could you say something to your boss like, "I'm happy to stay on for two weeks while you find a replacement--do you have anyone lined up?" or something? Offer the two weeks so he knows you're not leaving him in the lurch, but also give him the chance to tell you that he's already hired your replacement, and thus let you leave.
Meanwhile, I have THREE WEEKS left at my job, and it is kinda weird. I have a ton of schoolwork to get through in that time, so it's gonna be a whirlwind few weeks until the 17th (last day of class), and then nothing until Feb. 2nd, when my next semester starts. I got my financial aid package, and it'll cover my living expenses, so I don't even need to get a job. I'll try to pick up some freelance editorial work, but otherwise I've got nothing to do for a month and a half. woo!

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
ita, that reminds me to pitch Colin to Popgurls.
