I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Definitely book today -- asking forgiveness is better than waiting for permission in this case!

I've still got my cold, but so far it's better than it was yesterday. I foresee a lot of sitting around and chugging orange juice and reading in bed today. And probably for Thursday, too.

Actually -- are your coworkers around so you can see when they are taking off? Unless your boss is an ass, coverage is usually the only reason they care when you're gone.

We had a staff meeting yesterday and we talked about Xmas holidays, and it seems that most people are taking off the time between Xmas and New Years, and I always go home before Xmas to help my mom out and come back on Boxing Day or the day after.

Anyway, I just booked it! Yay, no 7 hour bus rides!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not even 8AM, and someone has wanted to talk to me. About work. Not good.

I mean, fine, I'm here in the office, but that's really only a formality.

And our temp receptionist got another job somewhere else, so the temp company called this morning to tell us she's not coming back.

And the office decided, after I left yesterday, that we could all wear jeans. WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor stabby Dana. Maybe don't go in tomorrow?

I should be doing more housecleaning, so as to come back to a clean house, but eh.

My office decided we can go home at noon ... work allowing. Yeah, we'll see how THAT works out.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Our Dean sent a message that we could go home at noon as well, but our Big Boss (an Associate Dean) does not let us. We once had to come in on a day they shut down the school and the air conditioning because it was so hot out we were draining electricity from the hospital.

That's crazy, Sophia. I assured my minion that they would probably be let out at 3 today, so I really hope it happens!
