I have today off, except I have to run in for an hour and take care of a couple of things. We are having work people over tomorrow, so today I clean house like a maniac and shop at Costco. Folks over tomorrow afternoon. Jason's parents are coming out and staying over tomorrow night. Sunday morning, hang with 'rents. Sunday afternoon, collapse.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't think past today.
Checkin at 11:30, test from 12 to about 1, PT at 3, and somehow I'm stil working, so that means I can't come home to crash until all my docs are nice and tidily done.
Well, maybe I can crash a little.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Tonight: Depends on the weather. Will likely just stay home and work on video game mod I'm helping with.
Saturday: Company Holiday party. First time in over 8 years with the company I'm going. Taking a company-provided coach bus to and from the party because I don't feel like trying drive to and from the city and pay for parking.
Sunday: Hopefully finish up my Christmas shopping, buy the ingredients for the cookies I bake every year and put the tree up.

So, um, does anyone have any ballpark estimations of how much lobbyists cost? Or graphic designers? No reason.
Jesse, check this page (scroll down) for a chart with data from September 2005 on fees for graphic designers: [link]

You know what's helping today? Listening to my punk rock playlist on my iPod.
Even if I barely had time to throw any tracks on it this morning before I left, and by barely, I mean I only have 200. Woe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, Steph!
Christmas shopping, huh? Fuck. I forgot about that.
