I have been sick almost every weekend this winter. Daycares are NASTY LITTLE GERM FACTORIES AND I HATES THEM PRECIOUS.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wait, why would people get Monday off? Is it a thing?
It's presidents' day, aka, one of those holidays I always completely forget about because I've never gotten it off.

I am exhausted but gleeful due to news that My Chemical Romance is coming to Chicago in April, and the fact that I just bought a ticket to see Gogol Bordello on March 4th.

I get Monday off for the first time since I started working in this department! Due to the recent reshuffling/upheaval around here, we've been taken out of the "support staff" category and no longer all have to be here on days when only the tax people are here (because they don't get any time off before April 15th). We do have to have minimal coverage, but it's not going to be me, at least not this year.
(eta: Presidents suck anyway.)
Well, some of them are sucked...

I had monday off. Then they took it away and told me I have a floating holiday after April 1. Buh?
People who do not show up to important video cons who are the KEY PEOPLE to talk to suck. I had to call his freaking boss, who pulled in two people who had NO CLUE and I didn't either and then he finally shows up. I mean, jesus.
And I got asked to hand over the keys to the kingdom. Again. Seriously, you can keep asking, the answer has been no for 15 years. Do you really think that is going to change? The gods say no, I say no, got it?
I have to be in by 9 tomorrow. Bah.

Now I was gently reprimanded for escalating to the boss I did. Should've talked to the group lead a level below. Well, fine, except I didn't even know what group he was in! Sorry I got your buddy in trouble, but sheeit. He didn't show until 45 minutes after the scheduled start time and that was AFTER moving it an hour later. Not my problem, people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh.
ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: On Wednesday, a top adviser to John McCain said more definitively than he has in the past that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election.
"I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."
