Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In defense of Mom, her feelings are hurt and all of the stuff I'm dealing with (feeling like I can't do anything useful, there is no control etc) must be compounded by two for her. I'm not her little girl anymore and she can neither fix my stuff nor her grandchildren's.

Well, sure, but the hope is that at least people deal poorly in new ways, not going back to the old teenage ways!

I hate those "will we get out early???" days. I wish anyone could just make a policy about it, but no. I am looking forward to my four-day weekend.

It took four or five posts referencing the holiday weekend before it dawned on me that people were talking about Easter.

We get nothing. No early Thursday or Friday (though people will probably slide early), no Monday. WHY DOES MY SCHOOL HATE CHRIST?

Unfortunately the policy would probably be that the staff never gets the early release.

And, my actual weekend will be 4 days, since I'm covering on Monday. Woe is me.

I only get Friday off, but still I'm happy for any extra weekend.

We're open; I'm just taking Friday and Monday.

Which reminds me that my boss has been mooning around like she's being opressed for having to work on Passover. Guess what? The Jew in the office who was off? TOOK A LEAVE DAY. It's not actually that hard to get time off work here.

I don't get any days off for the Jesus.

Dear Dude in the Elevator Lobby,

Perhaps you shouldn't be talking so loudly about your arrest record, even if you are planning to get it expunged.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
