Ooh. I'm totally there. You might have to remind me, though.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

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 might have to remind me, though.
Heh. Ok, will do.
(Someone might have to remind me to remind Liese S....)

Hopefully most of the insurance world takes Monday off and it's slow here.

The Looni gives us MLK day off, but then asks us to staff public services in the library, which means (plus!) I get to work my normal day at 2.5 pay, and (minus!) day care is closed, so mr. flea eats a day.
I am happy to honor MLK by sticking it to the man for double time and a half.

Håkon Robertsen has refused to tear down a condemned barn for fear of reprisals from 'little people' and is ready to sue local authorities to protect the building.
Robertsen continues to resist a local order to tear down the derelict structure, and is currently being fined NOK 300 (USD 47.50) a day until he flattens the barn. Local authorities first ordered the barn demolished in February 2005 after complaints from Robertsen's neighbors and a new order was passed this autumn.
Robertsen fears the consequences of tearing the building down.
"I don't believe in ghosts, but underworld creatures have taken up residence in the building," Robertsen told newspaper Nordlys, referring to a term used for the fairies and goblins of Norwegian folklore.
Robertsen would not go into detail about his experiences, but said he was convinced that to comply with the order would have serious consequences for his life and health.
"A while back I removed the top of the building and that is an experience I will not repeat," he said, and points out that the barn is built on an old Viking site.

Okay, I'm feeling all efficient this morning.
I took 6 bags of clothes to goodwill and dropped a package at the post office.
GO TEAM ME. Now I think I'll make a grilled cheese sammich.

Yay, for Jessica! Yay for brenda! Yay for efficient Kat!
And, um, yay for me too, since not only have I started my diet this week, but I started working out last night! Just 10 minutes of arm/floor work and walking in place, but I did it again this morning.
Go team me, too!!

We don't get Columbus Day off working with Native American kids, 'cause, duh. Kind of a loss, that one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go you, Kathy!!
Now I'm looking at my holiday calendar, and I hate when July 4th is on a weekday! It's lame that the main celebration of the holiday happens at night, but then you have to work the next day. LAME, I say!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At least one school in my neighbourhood celebrates a before-Columbus day instead.
