is it related to flying or the actual going-home-to-real-life?

Going-home-to-real-life.

This makes me wonder if Jewish people who are very observant of the Sabbath are also prohibited from having sex with a spouse on that day.

Somewhere between encouraged and required, actually.

Yeah, that always sucks after vacation - especially a relaxing one. Hopefully the next few days will allow you to ease your way back into your routine?

That is so cool! And honestly, if you believe the Sabbath is for rest/relaxation/restoration, it makes sense!

Nope. Sex with your spouse on Shabbos is actually encouraged. Sex (within marriage) is holy, Shabbos is holy, combining them is extra-special holy.

Thus, ladies and gentlemen, the origin of the expression "Holy FUCK!"

I need some work~ma for Mom.

Since she's in the drop progam and about to retire she knew she was running low on leave, so she's been obsessively checking with the office staff to make sure she would have enough (and she didn't go to my brother's wedding because she didn't have enough).

Well, after the holiday break, she's been told by the person in charge "oh, I made a mistake! And since x, y and z happened you won't be getting paid for those days." One of the things is that for some reason since she was out for an hour (doctor's appointment) either the computer system or the person in charge is counting that as a full day and since it was before a holiday she doesn't get paid for that (she had to work the day before and after to get paid).

Needless to say she's pissed and upset and going to talk to the principal at her school to get this all figured out but a little ~ma would be helpful.

FINALLY! After three attempts at getting my books for school, I finally get a hold of someone who explains WHAT the issue is - mind you, there was NOTHING on my student page, etc to tell me what was wrong - and helps me get it straight only to find out that A) the college won't get the money until tomorrow, B) it takes 24 hours after that for the money to be transferred to the bookstore and finally c)the last day for processing books with financial aid is ....

Saturday.

We're gone all weekend. Grr.

Oh well. I get paid today and I'll go buy them tomorrow morning and then I'll reimburse myself when my refund check comes.

Just .. grrrr. Need my freaking books!!

That's craxy.
