I don't approve of that sort of thing, but damn, the Phelps really push my limits on "let them be hoist on their on petard by themselves without any help"

Amen. I have free will, and I choose to exercise it when thinking about the Phelps'.

totally pointless with the Phelpses. They and theology, scholarship, and reality have long, long since parted ways.

I don't think they ever converged to begin with.

*Mwah* just 'cause I can.

(my quick-edit skills suck)

I don't have to be at work again until NEXT YEAR!!

The Phelps really, truly, devoutly, honestly believe they need to save the nation for God. Plus, they're nuts.

I dread the day they start thinking, "You know, suicide bomber vests have their place in the holy struggle."

Introduce them to the leaders of the insurgents. Get remote controlled video cameras. Sell tickets.

I don't have to be at work again until NEXT YEAR!!

PFFTTHH!

I'm eating company supplied pizza.

Happy Birthday Strega!

I don't have to be at work again until NEXT YEAR!!

PFFTTHH!

I'm eating company supplied pizza.

Pfltttthhh to the both of you. You may commence with the jealousy. I am going home! The office is closed!

Huh. Supervisor just told me I could go home, so I shall!

And since both of my supervisors gave me gift cards this year -- which has never happened to me before, so I was totally unprepared -- should I get them something for next week, or just be a greedy little peon and accept the gifts?

accept the gifts. and write a thank you.

I didn't do gifts this year except for 3 people. And one, the gift isn't done yet.

I'm still trapped here. Another 30 minutes, then the signature olympics.

just be a greedy little peon and accept the gifts?

Unless they're personal gifts other than company gifts. Did you get them for being a great person or a great employee?

I'm watching NASA TV while working - the Space Shuttle is on its way to a Florida landing....
