Pres. Bush gave me the 24th off. I sort of wish he'd give us the 31st off too but it hasn't happened yet.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

'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"
I hear you, Kathy.
I have escaped from my last class for the year! I'm off until the 2nd, when I'll :: gulp :: start a schedule of 3 courses instead of 2, which while it sounds more efficient may not be at all. I know I can drop one and take it later, but I'd like to get through this 'year' as expeditiously as possible.
So far, school has been very much more fun than feeling like 'work' -- not that we haven't gotten a boatload done, but it's been so pleasant that it's just rushed by.

Oh, and our local boss just gave us an hour off this afternoon so I can leave in 1:15! Yay me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Quote of the day?
"I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize that now," — R. Kelly.

Quote of the decade, tommyrot. Quote. of. the. decade.
For comparison, here is the quote of the 90s:
Alas, Milli Vanilli is also heard from. "Musically, we are more talented than any Bob Dylan," announces Robert Pilatus, 24, with very little prodding. "Musically, we are more talented than Paul McCartney. Mick Jagger, his lines are not clear. He don't know how he should produce a sound. I'm the new modern rock 'n' roll. I'm the new Elvis." His (often silent) partner, Fabrice Morvan, 23, has his own key to success: "Rhythm, you know."

So, for folks who don't normally get New Years Eve off, are you getting it off this year (because New Years Day is on Tuesday)?
No, but I'm taking it anyway! Ha!
We do get Boxing Day and the 24th off, though. So it's not all bad.

The rest of our school does, but my department is supposed to work. A little annoying, because the dean sends out a note saying we are closed, then our big big boss says that we know it doesn't apply to our department.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We get the 25th and the 1st off, but work full days both the eves. TV just don't stop for the holidays.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am getting the Eves off this year. We just got an email from the Big Cheese, and my preview noted: "Nominating Committee Unanimous Recommendation for New Firm Management." When I opened the message, it was a picture of the Managing Partner's golden retriever.
So. That's my new boss now.
