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.

I used to be support staff for an elderly professor whose first name is Dean. He used to scare students and others into doing what he wanted by always leaving it unclear whether he was "the Dean" or not.

I think I have plans to go for drinks with at least 3 different groups of people today. Alcoholiday!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
yo, flea! There's someone giving out free locopops in front of my building right now.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So who (besides brenda) gets half or all the day off today as a holiday?
Me me me!!!! Woot!!!
I'm mostly excited b/c I *finally* got enough sleep last night! And it's a gorgeous day here, so for the rest of the day I will loaf around and also play outside.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's so awesome.
I am trying to write a case-study. So far, I have typed up my notes for my other group-mates, in hopes that they will help me. I think I picked the wrong organization to write up.
