So. I got to work this morning to discover that my access to work e-mail and databases has been disabled. Haven't been able to find anyone to explain why.

Am tempted to finish cleaning my office, leave, and not come back.

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

You know, if you're going to allow 'criticism of evolution' in schools, you also have to allow criticism of creationism in, too. It's only fair!

Naw, criticism of creationism is part of that whole "war on religion" thing....

On a brighter note, I'm glad to hear that FSMism is finally coming to the attention of the people whom it's really directed at.

Yes. And the fact that they're unhappy about it. And the fact that they don't have the power to get rid of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am tempted to finish cleaning my office, leave, and not come back.

Gee, looks like you don't work there anymore. RUN!

Wait, is today your last last day? If so, just think of it as a gift. You get to hear the screams as people realize they can't come to you for help. If they'd waited till 5, you wouldn't get to witness it!

When exactly is your exit interview?

Sometime this afternoon. Exactly when, I don't know, because the meeting invite is in my e-mail inbox.

Wait, is today your last last day?

Tomorrow is. I have work I could be doing, but until someone fixes things so I can punch in and get paid for that work, I'm not doing anything.

Finally collared a manager. He went off to investigate. They say I should be able to login in about 10 minutes.

Oh gawd this is funny:

OGDEN, Utah - An embarrassed charter school has discovered it booked the wrong Jon Stewart for its annual gala. The DaVinci Academy thought it had made a deal with comedian Jon Stewart, star of "The Daily Show" and host of this year's Academy Awards, to appear next week.

It sent out 500 invitations to businesses and planned for 900 people.

But last week, it learned that it had booked Jon A. Stewart, a former motivational speaker, businessman and part-time professional wrestler from Chicago.

School leaders said that earlier in the year they had sent out invitations to a number of celebrities, speakers and authors for the school's annual benefit dinner.

A Stewart had responded, and through months of discussion there was no indication that they had not booked the Stewart they wanted, officials said.

But last week the Standard-Examiner in Ogden called Jon Stewart's publicist in Beverly Hills, and found that the only place Stewart was scheduled to be the night of the gala was on "The Daily Show."

DaVinci leaders were informed of that fact Friday.
