I hope this sort of thing doesn't happen nationally this fall.
First, you'd need one or more Republicans with the sort of charisma to make Bill Clinton look like a stick-in-the-mud....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay for Shrift's EAT IT Day!
Perkins, my adventure in the suburbs was pleasantly un-adventuresome. Adventureful? Whatever. Took the commuter train, got picked up at the station (in an SUV!), and got a ride all the way home. Awesome. I have to say, I was shocked at how expensive the train was -- $14 one way. I guess that's cheaper than parking in the city, but still! Yet another reason not to live in the burbs.
Ellen Degeneres is talking about that crazy expensive sandwich and mint julep. Maybe she's a lurker!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooh, client is in today. So there is much work to do. Occasionally my boss lets me leave early on Friday - I'm hoping that'll happen today.
One of my bosses is off today. The other (Jewish) boss is here. They know I'm not Christian, so I can't say I wanna leave to do the Jesus thing....

Last night we were having a conversation about things being open today or not, and all the Jews (ie, everyone in the room but me) were surprised that everything's not closed for Good Friday.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am pretty sure I said this last year, but at my high school job at a small grocery store, we closed from 12 -3 on Good Friday so everyone could go to mass.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My folks were surprised that I don't have today off. They were surprised on each Good Friday for the past seven years, too. At least they're consistent. I'm sure I could find things to do with a day off, but I don't think the bosses would find, "I have to finish the S1 Battlestar Galactica DVDs" a good reason for me to leave.

Huh. I neglected to put on mascara today. (This is only notable in that I'm on autopilot in the morning, so usually it takes something really disruptive to change my routine. Of which there was none.)

Good enough for me, Calli.
We get sent home every year at 2 pm, but no one ever tells us until 2 pm, when they send out an email saying "If your work is finished, the Dean says you can go home."
This is how it usually goes with us, except it's always 3pm - I'm amazed we're getting out so early, and with actual prior notice.

Heh, this amuses me because the first name of the guy who would be letting us go early (not that I expect that to happen) is "Dean". If he ever referred to himself as "The Dean" I'd never stop snickering.

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.
Whoo, shrift!
80 degrees here today and I get off at noon. Yay.
It's 71 degrees here, it looks like a hell of a storm is rolling in, and I have to be here until 6. Boo.
My "new" car (bought in September) has headlights that actually turn off when you turn off the car in general, so I am much less likely to run down the battery.
My Malibu does the same thing, as well as the auto-on. If my next car has manual lights, I'm so screwed.
