I've kept hoping for Friday. All to no avail.

After taking yesterday off, today feels like Monday. At least tomorrow is still Friday, so it will feel like a very short week I guess.

Oh my god, I don't want to work. I think somebody needs to cancel today so I can go home, sit on the couch, eat ice cream, and watch MythBusters for five hours.

There's a Dirty Jobs marathon this weekend.

I just went into Staples to buy blank DVDs and came out with $134 worth of Stuff. Some of it qualifies as presents. ::tries to look virtuous, mostly fails::

I shouldn't shop before I've had any breakfast.

Shrift, if you find someone to cancel today, will you please have them cancel today for me too? I have to occupy 12 year olds for 6 hours without any text books, lesson plans, without a TV or videos. And trust me, my personality not sparkling enough to sustain their desire for constant entertainment.

Thing I'd rather do? Lie in bed, eat grilled cheese sandwiches and watch the animated Tick on DVD.

What is even happening?

Make them make up a story. One person tells one sentence, then it's the next person's turn, and so on. Make the most disruptive one write it down.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Wow, last night I was in the bar of the local Thai place picking up take-out soup, and a party of 14 college kids came in with no reservation and were surprised (and pouty) that they couldn't be seated quickly in a restaurant that has space for about 30 customers total. Hope they enjoyed their pad thai and currys for breakfast this morning.

Dear god, yes.

Okay. Who has the authority to cancel today? I'll even make the phone calls.
