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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

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.

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

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

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bah humbug:

ABC has still not posted the next episode of Day Break on its website despite promising to do so after it yanked the show from its broadcast schedule early this week. The online edition of TV Guide said that the network is blaming "unforeseen music-clearance issues" for the delay. The network apparently did not spell out the precise nature of the problems, but the musicians union has been demanding payment for online performances.

I am not looped by pain the way I was last night. The trick is to keep stretching the finger and bending it. It's already a lot better, but still sore. Do you think these would bother the TSA?
